Finite Element Modeling of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane Ball for Rolling Seismic Isolation
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 ...

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Failure Mechanism of Asymmetric Large Deformations Under Repeated Mining in Roadways
Principal stress‐evolution diagram at different advance positions of 42205 working face. ABSTRACT To address the challenge of controlling severe asymmetrical deformation in roadways subjected to repeated mining, this study (i.e., based on the engineering context of the Buertai Coal Mine) investigated the characteristics of the regional stress field in ...

This study explores thermal runaway in lithium‐iron‐phosphate energy storage battery packs through multi‐physics coupling simulation. Thermal runaway evolves from battery cells (experiencing overcharge, bulging, safety valve opening, and gas venting) to battery clusters (a) and propagates within the battery pack (b). Simulation results indicate: stress

With the advancement of coal mining technology driving the development of working faces toward increased mining heights and extended lengths, the enlargement of face dimensions has led to expanded overlying strata failure zones and intensified ground pressure manifestations. Consequently, traditional methods for determining hydraulic support resistance
