Displacement ductility demand and strength reduction factors for rocking structures [PDF]

open access: yesWIT Transactions on The Built Environment, Vol 93, 2007
This paper reports the main results of an extensive parametric study using numerical simulations and computing displacement ductility demand of nonlinear single-degree of freedom (SDOF) systems and multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) systems for a set of 164 registered ground motions.

On the Impact Energy Absorption of an Advanced High‐Strength Bilayer Steel Composite Consisting of Carbide‐Free Bainitic Steel and High‐Mn Twinning‐Induced Plasticity Steel

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Excellent combinations of strength and impact toughness are obtained in a bilayer composite of high‐strength carbide‐free bainitic (CFB) steel and high‐ductility twinning‐induced plasticity (TWIP) steel. The composite absorbs energy at small strains when the notch is placed on the TWIP side and at high strains when the notch is placed on the CFB side ...

Comparison of Methodologies for the Behavior Factor Estimation in Seismic Design of Buildings: Case Study of Geo-Sourced Masonry Construction

open access: yesBuildings
The behavior factor, which represents the force reduction that a structure would experience if its response was completely elastic compared with the seismic forces used for design, is defined in seismic design codes for common construction techniques and

Hysteretic Energy Demand under Superposition of Bidirectional Ground Motions

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2021
To address the irrationality of making a structure subjected to bidirectional ground motions equivalent to an SDOF system, a new approach method is presented in this paper.

Optimizing Post Friction Stir Welding Heat Treatment in Dissimilar Friction Stir Welded 6061/AlSi10MgMn Joints for Electrical Vehicle Battery Housing

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Microstructural evolution and hardness optimization along the cross‐section of friction stir welded AA6061/AlSi10MgMn joints, for electric vehicle battery housings, were investigated. Postweld aging between 170°C and 220°C enhances hardness uniformity within the nugget zone.

Comparative study of the damage cost of reinforced concrete buildings with and without nonlinear viscous dampers subjected to seismic loading

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2022
In an optimal seismic design context, the seismic demand is characterized by hazard curves that can be obtained by simulation techniques, and the capacity of the structure is established by the designer following a predefined seismic code.

High cycle fatigue of ARMCO iron severely deformed by ECAP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The high-cycle fatigue behavior of ARMCO iron severely deformed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) at room temperature through route Bc until 8 passes, with an average grain size of ~365 nm, was studied and compared with the same material in the ...

Multimodal Mechanical Testing of Additively Manufactured Ti6Al4V Lattice Structures: Compression, Bending, and Fatigue

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this experimental study, the mechanical properties of additively manufactured Ti‐6Al‐4V lattice structures of different geometries are characterized using compression, four point bending and fatigue testing. While TPMS designs show superior fatigue resistance, SplitP and Honeycomb lattice structures combine high stiffness and strength. The resulting
