Structural behavior of civil engineering structures: highlight in historical and masonry structures [PDF]
, 2006 Construction history is full of examples of lack of success. The importance of ancient constructions has been for long exclusively associated with the use of the building, meaning that successive changes were made to the building in order to fulfill its

Structural Control and Identification of Civil Engineering Structures
, 2015 In general, the main purpose of a structural control system is to apply powerful control techniques that improve the behaviour of civil structures under various kinds of dynamic loading. The first part of this thesis presents novel applications of posicast and input shaping control schemes that have never previously been applied in the field of ...

A Dual‐Ion Multiphysics Model for Smart and Sustainable Sensors Based on Bacterial Cellulose
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Bacterial cellulose (BC), functionalized with ionic liquids (ILs) and conductive polymers, offers promise for sustainable sensor applications. To enable real‐world integration, this work presents the first dual‐carrier, multiphysics white‐box model of mechanoelectric transduction in BC–IL sensors, combining mechanical deformation and ion transport ...

Effective Material Stiffness in Curved Actuators
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A new actuator effective material stiffness measurement method is created. It produces a new metric called shape actuation modulus with the potential to help design actuators. This method shows that the smaller the curvature of hinge‐shaped actuators, the stiffer they are.
