Time-Response Functions of Mechanical Networks with Inerters and Causality
, 2017 This paper derives the causal time-response functions of three-parameter mechanical networks that have been reported in the literature and involve the inerter-a two-node element in which the force-output is proportional to the relative acceleration of ...

Seismic Assessment of Typical 1970s Tall Steel Moment Frame Buildings in Downtown San Francisco [PDF]
, 2012 An inventory of the existing tall building stock in San Francisco revealed that most tall buildings in the city were built in the 1970s and 1980s and adopted a steel Special Moment Resisting Frame (SMRF) structural system.

Emerging Device Applications From Strong Light–Matter Interactions in 2D Materials
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Two‐dimensional semiconductors enable extremely compact optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, sensors, LEDs, and lasers. Their strong light–matter interactions allow efficient light emission, detection, and energy conversion. This review article discusses the recent progress in integrating these materials with optical cavities and nanostructures ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Shape memory alloy wires exhibit thermally induced phase changes that generate actuation strain and resistance variations enabling self‐sensing. However, hysteretic electromechanical behavior complicates accurate state estimation. This paper presents an artificial in‐based self‐sensing method to reconstruct SMA actuator position in real time, achieving

Finite Element Modeling of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane Ball for Rolling Seismic Isolation
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Elastomeric‐Ball Pendulum (EBP) system, which consists of an elastomeric ball rolling on a spherical concrete surface, has been proposed as an isolation system for lightweight structures. Experimental tests have shown that the mechanics of such a rolling ball are remarkably complicated because the vertical load changes the shape of the ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...
