Seismic reliability assessment of classical columns subjected to near-fault ground motions [PDF]

, 2013
A methodology for the performance-based seismic risk assessment of classical columns is presented. Despite their apparent instability, classical columns are, in general, earthquake resistant, as proven from the fact that many classical monuments have ...

Stretchable Curvature Sensors for Motion Capture with Bending‐Stretching Coupling Deformation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Stretchable curvature sensors based on a wavy symmetric stacked‐layer structure (WSSLS) enable decoupled bending‐stretching detection with high linearity, repeatability, and durability. Integrated into smart gloves, the sensors achieved precise motion capture and human‐robot interaction, with slip‐simulation tests demonstrating a remarkable 93.6 ...

Facilitators and barriers to neighborhood social integration

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Social isolation has reached concerning rates, particularly in the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Social integration is critical to combatting social isolation and loneliness by promoting a sense of community and belonging. Yet, most existing research centers on fostering close personal relationships within family and friend networks.
