Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit excellent self‐centering capability due to their stress‐induced phase transformation, making them highly suitable for applications in resilient infrastructure. This study investigates the seismic performance of reduced‐strength moment‐resisting frames (MRFs) equipped with SMA‐based superelastic friction ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) rocking walls offer a compelling seismic system combining self‐centering behavior with energy dissipation. However, progress in their performance assessment and design has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive parametric modeling tool, as exists for steel or reinforced concrete systems. This

Structural Effects of Vertical Non‐Skeletal Elements (NSEs) With Rocking Mechanisms
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper introduces the structural effects provided by vertical non‐skeletal elements (NSEs), such as claddings and partitions, with vertical slotted holes at their supports to enable rocking as the frame undergoes significant lateral deformation.

A study of the forces generated during equine cheek tooth extraction
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Significant force is often applied when elevating equine teeth from the alveolus during extraction. No previous studies have investigated these forces. Objectives To develop a method to allow measurement of elevation forces (EF) applied during extraction, and to record forces during extraction of cheek teeth in both cadaver ...

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract 3D scanning is rapidly becoming a key maintenance tool. Aerospace was a pioneer in adopting 3D scanning technology because aircraft manufacture and maintenance require precision. Monitoring deterioration, removing components for maintenance, and verifying covert operations are not practical or helpful without technology.
