Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention to the seismic performance of masonry infills, their out‐of‐plane dynamic behaviour remains insufficiently explored, particularly under pre‐existing in‐plane damage. This study presents a comprehensive experimental campaign designed to investigate the seismic behaviour of an existing weak masonry infill typology ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

Whole‐House Thermal Bridge Modelling for Accurate Retrofit Energy Prediction
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study models thermal bridging in a UK semi‐detached house across pre‐ and post‐retrofit scenarios using piecemeal and whole‐house approaches with EWI and IWI. Whole‐house retrofits reduce heat transfer coefficient by 60%; findings demonstrate that default values are often unrepresentative and advocate tailored Ψ value databases.

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Variable‐rate hydraulic fracturing can induce unsteady flow in the tubing, thereby generating fluctuating fluid pressure near the bottom‐hole reservoir. Dynamic stress is generated in the reservoir under the action of fluctuating fluid pressure and propagates as stress waves.

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Machine learning surrogates accurately predict drill cuttings transport from computational fluid dynamics data, with Reynolds number dominating system behavior. While tree‐based models excel in accuracy, Gaussian process regression provides physically consistent, smooth predictions essential for reliable drilling simulations.
