Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Generalised Kinematic Single‐Impact and Multi‐Impact Models for Rocking Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rocking motion is fundamental in earthquake engineering, as it reflects the dynamic behaviour of many structural systems. However, simulating the impacts during rocking motion remains a challenging topic, as they occur in a very short time, generate high impulsive forces, cause sudden changes in velocities and result in rapid energy losses.

Deprivation and Accidental Dwelling Fires in the Greater Manchester Area Between 2013–2014 and 2023–2024

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, the relationship between the level of deprivation, measured by the Indices of Multiple Deprivation decile (IMD decile) determined by the UK Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, and the number of different types of accidental dwelling fires (ADFs) in populations across the different IMD deciles is examined ...
