Numerical Simulation of Post‐Yield Hysteretic Behavior of Lap‐Spliced Reinforced Concrete Bridge Pier Walls Under Earthquake Loading

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete pier walls designed before the 1970s often incorporate lap splice in potential plastic‐hinge regions. Previous experimental tests indicate that most of pier walls experienced post‐yield lap splice failure, necessitating a modeling approach that captures not only lap splice strength but also deformation capacity.

Evaluation of Modeling Assumptions for Predicting Structural Damage and Train Derailment Under Earthquake Loading

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid development of new railway networks and the aging of existing infrastructure in seismic‐prone regions continue to motivate the need for efficient methods to simulate the dynamic behavior of coupled train track structure systems. While detailed train–structure interaction (TSI) models can capture complex mechanisms, they are often too

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Quantifying Model Selection Uncertainty in Structural Analysis: Methodology and Application

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With increasing focus on complex engineering systems under rare events, computational models are critical for predictions due to the scarcity or absence of data. However, selecting an appropriate model can be challenging. Using a single model without available test calibration could result in significant bias in performance predictions. A case

A Full AC Time‐Series Analysis of Photovoltaic Hosting Capacity in Niger's Grid

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Methodological framework for PV hosting capacity assessment. ABSTRACT The integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems into sub‐Saharan African distribution grids presents a transformative opportunity to enhance energy access and sustainability. However, accurately quantifying the hosting capacity (HC), the maximum PV power that can be accommodated ...

Field‐free programmable bipolar magnetic heterostructures for neuromorphic computing

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
Neuromorphic computing mimics the brain's efficiency, yet typical memristors lack biological synapses' dual signal control. We introduce a magnetic memristor enabling bidirectional, multi‐state modulation without external fields, validated in image feature extraction and neural clustering.
