Critical earthquake response of elastic-plastic structures under near-fault ground motions (Part 1: Fling-step input)

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2015
The double impulse input is introduced as a substitute of the fling-step near-fault ground motion and a closed-form solution of the elastic-plastic response of a structure by the ‘critical double impulse input’ is derived.

Smart Seismic Control System for High-Rise Buildings Using Large-Stroke Viscous Dampers Through Connection to Strong-Back Core Frame

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2020
An innovative structural control system is proposed for high-rise buildings. A damping layer is provided between a stiff upper core frame suspended from the top of the main building and a stiff lower core frame connected to the building foundation.

Explicit Overturning Limit of Rigid Block Using Triple and Pseudo-Triple Impulses Under Critical Near-Fault Ground Motions

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2021
An explicit limit for the overturning of a rigid block is derived on the input level of the triple impulse and the pseudo-triple impulse as a modified version of the triple impulse that are a substitute of a near-fault forward-directivity ground motion ...

Hysteretic-Viscous Hybrid Damper System With Stopper Mechanism for Tall Buildings Under Earthquake Ground Motions of Extremely Large Amplitude

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2020
This paper is aimed at proposing a hysteretic-viscous hybrid (HVH) damper system for tall buildings subjected to long-period pulse-type earthquake ground motions of extremely large amplitudes. The HVH system was introduced for a single-degree-of-freedom (

Closed-form critical earthquake response of elastic-plastic structures on compliant ground under near-fault ground motions

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2016
The double impulse is introduced as a substitute of the fling-step near-fault ground motion. A closed-form solution of the elastic-plastic response of a structure on compliant (flexible) ground by the ‘critical double impulse’ is derived for the first ...

Robustness analysis of elastoplastic structure subjected to double impulse [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sound and Vibration, 2016
Abstract The double impulse has extensively been used to evaluate the critical response of an elastoplastic structure against a pulse-type input, including near-fault earthquake ground motions. In this paper, we propose a robustness assessment method for elastoplastic single-degree-of-freedom structures subjected to the double impulse input ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Optimal Viscous Damper Placement for Elastic-Plastic MDOF Structures Under Critical Double Impulse

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2019
A new method for optimal viscous damper placement is proposed for elastic-plastic multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structures subjected to the critical double impulse as a representative of near-fault ground motions.

Examining Metal Additives in a Marine Hybrid-Propellant, Water-Breathing Ramjet

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
This research focuses on theoretically and experimentally evaluating the performance of a metallized hybrid-propellant, water-breathing ramjet. The aluminum and/or magnesium particles added to a polymeric (polyester) fuel grain are hydro-reactive, using ...
