A Three‐Parameter Continuum Timoshenko Beam Framework for Evaluating Higher‐Mode Effects in High‐Rise Buildings With Rotational and Translational Base Flexibility

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Higher‐mode effects can significantly amplify seismic demands in high‐rise buildings, causing unintended damage over the building height. Engineered mechanisms are introduced at the base of these structures to mitigate higher‐mode effects. Existing continuum formulations for base‐flexible buildings commonly idealize the superstructure as a ...

Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.

Beyond political risk: Toward a holistic understanding of multinational enterprise resilience in the era of cascading crises

open access: yesGlobal Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This article develops a conceptual framework for understanding multinational enterprise (MNE) resilience in the era of cascading crises. We define resilience as the MNE's capacity to absorb disruption, maintain or restore functioning, and reconfigure operations as conditions shift.

MNE retrenchment and redeployment in the face of the US–China trade war: Real options and strategic flexibility

open access: yesGlobal Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Trade wars increasingly manifest in the contemporary environment for global business; thereby, calling for examination of MNE strategic responses. MNEs can respond to such shocks by leveraging their strategic flexibility and engaging in retrenchment and redeployment; that is, the respective scaling down (up) of subsidiary ...
