Finite Element Modeling of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane Ball for Rolling Seismic Isolation
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Elastomeric‐Ball Pendulum (EBP) system, which consists of an elastomeric ball rolling on a spherical concrete surface, has been proposed as an isolation system for lightweight structures. Experimental tests have shown that the mechanics of such a rolling ball are remarkably complicated because the vertical load changes the shape of the ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Microstructural insight into the hysteretic water retention behavior of intact Mile expansive clay
Soils and FoundationsWater retention behavior of clayey soils usually exhibits a hysteretic phenomenon, which can be attributed to the ink-bottle effect, different contact angle during wetting and drying process, entrapped air etc.

Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...

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