Statistical Analysis of Fragility Curves [PDF]

Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 2000
This paper presents a statistical analysis of structural fragility curves. Both empirical and analytical fragility curves are considered. The empirical fragility curves are developed utilizing bridge damage data obtained from the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu ...

The relationship between fragility, configurational entropy and the potential energy landscape of glass forming liquids

Nature, 2001
Glass is a microscopically disordered, solid form of matter that results when a fluid is cooled or compressed in such a fashion that it does not crystallise.

Association of frailty with fragility fractures and all‑cause mortality in adults: evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Fragility fractures impose a substantial global public health burden, driven by diminished bone strength and extrinsic risk factors. Frailty, characterized by multisystem decline and reduced physiological reserve, is increasingly recognized as
