Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...

Characterization of Fuel Rods Supported by Dimple‐Less Spacer Grids and Subjected to Nonlinear Vibrations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An experimental campaign was undertaken to demonstrate the applicability of the Bouc–Wen hysteretic model to describe the hysteretic system of the recent Framatome dimple‐less spacer grid design for Pressurized Water Reactors. The experimental setup subjected a reduced‐length fuel rod, supported at both ends by dimple‐less grids, to forced ...

Seismic Performance and Generalized Damage Risk of Modular Cross Laminated Timber Houses Across Ten United States Cities

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 687-703, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Housing shortages in the United States and the pursuit of sustainable and resilient communities have positioned cross‐laminated timber (CLT) housing as a promising alternative due to the ability to design for modularity, ease of construction, and low embodied carbon performance.

Irreversible Transitions of the Ocean Circulation in Antarctic Ice‐Shelf Cavities

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Ice shelves fringing the Antarctic continent experience low or high basal melt rates depending on local shelf conditions, ocean circulation and intensity of ice‐sea‐air exchanges. Recent studies have uncovered potential cold‐to‐warm transitions in specific ice‐shelf cavities, which could lead to a dramatic increase in sea‐level rise.

Microscopic approach to current-driven domain wall dynamics

open access: yes, 2008
This review describes in detail the essential techniques used in microscopic theories on spintronics. We have investigated the domain wall dynamics induced by electric current based on the $s$-$d$ exchange model.

Leveraging Laboratory Experiments of Shoreline Response to Sea‐Level Rise: A Beach Disequilibrium Perspective

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract This study analyzes laboratory data of beach response to sea‐level rise (SLR), isolating shoreline changes driven by passive flooding (PF) of the beach and consequent wave‐driven processes. The disequilibrium concept relates shoreline change to instantaneous and equilibrium beach states. While PF shifts the shoreline geometrically, SLR induces

Ultrahigh High‐temperature Capacitive Energy Storage Via Proton Irradiation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
Proton irradiation concurrently induces enhanced dielectric constant and breakdown field in aromatic polymers with ether bonds, which enables an ultrahigh discharged energy density of 6.9 J cm−3 at above the efficiency of 95% at 150 °C, exceeding current dielectric polymers and nanocomposites.
