Building exposure model for seismic risk assessment of the city of Strumica [PDF]
Građevinski Materijali i KonstrukcijeSeismic risk assessment at the city scale has always been useful for pre-earthquake planning, managing future investments, and prioritizing the seismic repair and retrofit of existing buildings immediately after the earthquake.

Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...
