Earthquakes and earthquake engineering in China

open access: yesBulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1987
China is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world and has suffered many disasters. During the last twenty years, especially since the Tangshan earthquake of July 1976 which killed 242,000 people and disabled almost 200,000 people, the Chinese government and the whole society have paid more attention to and made a huge effort to deal with

Compatibility of Methacrylate Based Resins Controls Interfacial Failure and Toughness in 3D‐Printed Multimaterial Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work shows that the mechanical performance of multimaterial digital light processing (DLP) printed thermoset composites is governed by resin compatibility and interfacial design rather than spatial patterning alone. Brittle and ductile resin combinations produced premature interfacial failure, while graded interfaces and mechanically compatible ...

Tough, Ductile, and Strong Hard‐Soft Cementitious Composite Enabled by Multi‐Material Additive Manufacturing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including
