Vibration analysis and models of adjacent structures controlled by magnetorheological dampers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper deals with the vibration analysis of adjacent structures controlled by a magnetorheological (MR) damper and with the discussion of a numerical procedure for identification and definition of a reliable finite element model. The paper describes

Pickin' up good vibrations: a systematic review of footfall detection and analysis in the realm of wildlife surveying

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Experimental studies on seismic response characteristics of dynamic interaction system of pile-soil-cable-stayed bridges

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019
The seismic response of long-span cable-stayed bridges with lower structural frequencies and damping may be significantly affected by the properties of the pile foundation and site soil.

Results of Millikan Library Forced Vibration Testing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This report documents an investigation into the dynamic properties of Millikan Library under forced excitation. On July 10, 2002, we performed frequency sweeps from 1 Hz to 9.7 Hz in both the East-West (E-W) and North-South (N-S) directions using a roof ...

Banking Development and the Economic Impact of Natural Disasters: From Short to Long Term Effects

open access: yesJournal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how financial development and local banking structures shape the economic resilience of communities in the aftermath of natural disasters. Focusing on Italian municipalities hit by earthquakes between 2008 and 2022, we explore the role of banking presence, particularly cooperative banks, in supporting recovery.

Real-Time Estimation of Fault Rupture Extent Using Envelopes of Acceleration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present a new strategy to estimate the geometry of a rupture on a finite fault in real time for earthquake early warning. We extend the work of Cua and Heaton who developed the virtual seismologist (VS) method (Cua, 2005), which is a Bayesian approach

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

open access: yesMedical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

The Study of Liquefaction Time Stages due to a Short Duration Shaking

open access: yesCivil Engineering Dimension, 2017
During the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake, liquefactions were massively found in Opak River, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Learning from those events, an experimental study of liquefaction using shaking table was performed, especially to investigate the effect of ...

Experiment program of shake table test on a precast frame made of recycled aggregate concrete

open access: yesHo Chi Minh City Open University Journal of Science - Engineering and Technology, 2016
A precast frame model made of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) been constructed with precast beams, columns and Cast-In-Place (CIP) joints. Then a shaking table test was carried out with three types of earthquake ground motions, namely Wenchuan, El ...

Trust in Regulation in a Time of Revolution

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines trust in regulation as a core value and precondition of the modern liberal democratic regulatory state. It develops a concept of justified trust in regulation, grounded in regulatory trustworthiness—honesty, competence, and reliability—rather than in proxies such as partisan loyalty, blind faith, obedience, or resignation.
