Displacement Estimation of Structures With Flag‐Shaped Hysteresis Loops
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Time‐history analyses were conducted on single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) systems with flag‐shaped hysteresis loops using a far‐field ground motion suite to estimate peak displacements, Δp, and equivalent deformation cycles, Nc, associated with cumulative displacement demands.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit excellent self‐centering capability due to their stress‐induced phase transformation, making them highly suitable for applications in resilient infrastructure. This study investigates the seismic performance of reduced‐strength moment‐resisting frames (MRFs) equipped with SMA‐based superelastic friction ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) rocking walls offer a compelling seismic system combining self‐centering behavior with energy dissipation. However, progress in their performance assessment and design has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive parametric modeling tool, as exists for steel or reinforced concrete systems. This

Structural Effects of Vertical Non‐Skeletal Elements (NSEs) With Rocking Mechanisms
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper introduces the structural effects provided by vertical non‐skeletal elements (NSEs), such as claddings and partitions, with vertical slotted holes at their supports to enable rocking as the frame undergoes significant lateral deformation.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the seismic performance of a five‐story prototype building using different configurations of a dual lateral force‐resisting system (LFRS) combining post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber rocking walls (PT‐CLT‐RW) with conventional wood light‐frame shear walls (LiFS).

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.As the sublevel height increases, the top‐coal recovery amount gradually increases, but both the top‐coal recovery rate and the thickened top‐coal recovery rate show a downward trend, and the decline in the top‐coal recovery rate is gradually increasing. The comparison indicates that the optimal sublevel height is 20 m.

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.TiO2/chlorophyll bio‐hybrid nanofluid achieved the highest PVT performance, increasing thermal efficiency to 38.74% and overall efficiency to 51.35%, compared with 35.96% and 48.45% for Al2O3/water and 27.77% and 40.18% for water. The results demonstrate the potential of bio‐hybrid nanofluids for high‐efficiency solar thermal energy conversion ...

Whole‐House Thermal Bridge Modelling for Accurate Retrofit Energy Prediction
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study models thermal bridging in a UK semi‐detached house across pre‐ and post‐retrofit scenarios using piecemeal and whole‐house approaches with EWI and IWI. Whole‐house retrofits reduce heat transfer coefficient by 60%; findings demonstrate that default values are often unrepresentative and advocate tailored Ψ value databases.

Energy‐Flow Regimes and Their Temporal Transitions in a PV‐Building System
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Unlike production and consumption, which act as external factors, generated energy flows reflect the system's internal behavior regarding energy allocation at each time step. The combination of self‐consumption, surplus, and import of surplus energy into the power grid characterizes how electricity is routed between the building's local consumption and
