Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2026.A robot‐assisted laser processing method is proposed that enables the formation of surface‐tilted microanchors on metal substrates to improve metal–polymer joining. Using a six‐axis robotic platform, the laser beam's incidence angle, scanning path, and interline pitch can be precisely controlled, allowing the deliberate overlap of heat‐affected zones ...
