This work presents a novel design strategy for active metasurfaces that actively switches OAM modes. The metasurface integrates VO2 within MIM meta‐atoms. Operating at 1500 nm, the designed platform enables large leaps in topological charge. For instance, the reflected beam can be switched from a topological charge of −1 in the insulating (M1) phase to

Dual-Algorithm Hybrid Method for Riser Structural Health Monitoring Using the Fewest Sensors
This study suggests a novel riser structural health monitoring methodology based on a dual algorithm (DA). In this method, the displacement tracing algorithm first traces the node displacement and tension up to the last sensor position called the target ...

Experimental Evaluation of Prototype Seismic Retrofits for Precast Concrete Hollow‐Core Floors
Existing hollow‐core floors are vulnerable to nonductile failure and potential collapse under earthquake loading. This study presents the development and experimental evaluation of novel comprehensive seismic retrofits for hollow‐core floors. These retrofits include a strongback‐type retrofit that provides an alternative gravity load path through steel

Robustness assessment of reinforced concrete structures for different failure scenarios
Abstract This study describes the robustness assessment of 3D reinforced concrete structures analyzing the response of the 2D frames in different design configurations and failure scenarios. The structures are characterized by both frames with wide beams and seismic‐resistant frames with deep beams.
