Cooptimized Sensing and Sole Mechanics Enable Embodied‐Intelligence Design of User‐Specific Smart Footwear

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An embodied codesign framework for smart footwear is presented, jointly tuning lattice mechanics and sensing for personalized plantar pressure monitoring. By integrating pneumatic sensing within 3D‐printed lattice soles, the system achieves accurate real‐time centre‐of‐pressure tracking with reduced sensor count and energy demand, demonstrating how ...

Damping and non-linearity of a levitating magnet in rotation above a superconductor

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
We study the dissipation of moving magnets in levitation above a superconductor. The rotation motion is analyzed using optical tracking techniques. It displays a remarkable regularity together with long damping time up to several hours.

Dynamic Calibration of DEM Simulations Using Rotating Drum Experiments Using the Mean Absolute Error

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Calibrating DEM simulations is challenging due to unknown microscopic parameters. Rotating drum experiments are combined with image‐based analysis and Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS). An area‐based Mean Absolute Error (MAE) enables reliable identification of optimal parameter sets.

Conditional Probabilistic Model for Normalized Hysteretic Energy Given Ductility Ratios

open access: yesBuildings
Hysteretic energy, a critical component of seismic input energy, is predominantly dissipated through the hysteretic behavior of structural members in most conventional structures.

Seismic Performance and Vibration‐Based Damage Identification of Two‐Storey Balloon‐Framed CLT Shear Walls

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While cross‐laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly utilized in lateral force‐resisting systems in mass timber construction, research has predominantly focused on platform‐type construction. Balloon‐type CLT shear wall systems offer distinct structural advantages, notably the elimination of cumulative perpendicular‐to‐grain compression and a ...

Analytical Framework for System‐Level Fragility Surfaces of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Mainshock‐Aftershock Sequences

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional single intensity measure (IM) fragility approaches with simplified component dependency assumptions overlook the progressive damage accumulation and evolving inter‐component correlations that govern system behavior under mainshock‐aftershock (MSAS) loading.

Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of a Simplified Lateral Spring Formulation for Rocking Structures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Energy‐Based Characterisation of Earthquake Damage in Masonry Infills Through Combined In‐Plane and Out‐of‐Plane Experimental Tests

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seismic capacity of structural systems/members is usually defined in terms of deformation thresholds. Although this is effective in many circumstances, disregarding cumulative quantities such as hysteretic energy may be ineffective when low‐cycle fatigue is relevant (e.g., long‐duration ground motions, very soft soils, ground‐motion ...
