Wave dissipation by flexible vegetation

, 2011
Dissipation of waves propagating through natural salt marsh vegetation was about half the dissipation expected for rigid vegetation. This low dissipation was predicted by a theoretical model that accounts for bending of vegetation by wave motions.

SMA-Activated Double-Stage Yielding BRB: Experimental and FEM Insights

Buildings
To address the limitations of traditional buckling-restrained braces (BRB), which feature a single-stage yielding and inadequate energy dissipation under small earthquakes, this study proposes a novel double-stage yielding buckling-restrained brace (DSY ...

Excess energy and photosynthesis: responses to seasonal water limitations in co-occurring woody encroachers of the semi-arid Southern Great Plains

Photosynthetica, 2023
Woody plant areal encroachment is pervasive throughout the Southern Great Plains, USA. The ability of woody plants to dissipate excess solar radiation - dynamically over the day and sustained periods without recovery overnight -is key for maintaining ...

Rail hidden damage detection based on the modal curvature differences method

Advances in Mechanical Engineering
The rail hidden damage includes rail bottom and rail jaw cracks, which cannot be easily detected during the early development stage, and pose a significant danger and risk of rail-breaking accidents. This paper proposed an effective method to detect rail

Energy‐Dissipating Polymeric Silicone Surfactants [PDF]

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2020
AbstractMaterials that are able to withstand impact loadings by dissipating energy are crucial for a broad range of different applications, including personal protective applications. Shear‐thickening fluids (STFs) are often used for this purpose, but their preparation is still limited, in part, to high production costs.

Adaptive Observer for Coupled Wave PDE and Infinite ODE With Sampled Data and Unknown Input: Application to Brain Hemodynamics Estimation

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
This article proposes a convergent adaptive observer for a damped wave PDE and an infinite‐dimensional ODE coupled in cascade using sampled‐in‐space ODE state measurements. The proposed observer estimates the distributed states of the PDE and ODE along with unknown PDE parameters and spatial input.
