A Brief Method for Rapid Seismic Damage Prediction of Buildings Based on Structural Strength
Buildings, 2022 Rapid prediction of the post-earthquake structural damage to a region is of great importance to community relief and rescue. Detailed information on buildings in earthquake disaster areas is commonly inaccessible in the aftermath of an earthquake ...

Dynamically Coupled Oscillators: Cooperative Behavior via Dynamical Interaction [PDF]
Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 2003 We propose a theoretical framework to study the cooperative behavior of dynamically coupled oscillators (DCOs) that possess dynamical interactions. Then, to understand synchronization phenomena in networks of interneurons which possess inhibitory interactions, we propose a DCO model with dynamics of interactions that tend to cause 180-degree phase lags.

A thermal lattice Boltzmann model for micro/nano-flows [PDF]
, 2008 The dynamic behavior of charged micro and nanofluids plays a crucial role in a large variety of industrial and biological processes. Such dynamic behavior is characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of several competing mechanisms, such as ...

A Framework to Assess the Seismic Resilience of Urban Hospitals
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019 The phenomenon of hospital functional interruption has been widely observed in the historical moderate-strong earthquakes, indicating that hospital functionality cannot be well considered in the current seismic design methods.

BEHAVIOR DYNAMICS: ONE PERSPECTIVE [PDF]
Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1992 Behavior dynamics is a field devoted to analytic descriptions of behavior change. A principal source of both models and methods for these descriptions is found in physics. This approach is an extension of a long conceptual association between behavior analysis and physics.

Effects of Aftershocks on the Seismic Performances of Reinforced Concrete Eccentric Frame Structures
Applied Sciences, 2023 Strong aftershocks have the potential to cause accumulated damage in structures, a feature which has been reported in post-earthquake reconnaissance studies, particularly for eccentric or irregular structures.

Dynamic primitives of motor behavior [PDF]
Biological Cybernetics, 2012 We present in outline a theory of sensorimotor control based on dynamic primitives, which we define as attractors. To account for the broad class of human interactive behaviors-especially tool use-we propose three distinct primitives: submovements, oscillations, and mechanical impedances, the latter necessary for interaction with objects.
