Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2880-2896, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

Fully Coupled Electromagnetic‐Thermal‐Mechanical Model for Induction Heating of Thin Steel Sheets With the Presence of Thermal Buckling

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 16, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Large deformations can become an important issue in induction heating applications, especially for structures with low bending stiffness, such as thin sheets. In such cases, thermal expansion induces not only substantial in‐plane stresses but also out‐of‐plane buckling, which in turn strongly influences the electromagnetic field configuration.

Evaluation of a Simplified Method to Estimate the Peak Inter-Story Drift Ratio of Steel Frames with Hysteretic Dampers

Applied Sciences, 2017
In this paper, a simplified method is proposed to estimate the peak inter-story drift ratios of steel frames with hysteretic dampers. The simplified method involved the following: (1) the inelastic spectral displacement is estimated using a single-degree-

Ultrawide Bandwidth Optomechanical Magnetometry Using Flux Concentration

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 65, 13 August 2026.
High‐permeability flux concentrators enable ultrawide‐bandwidth chip‐scale optomechanical magnetometry by exploiting magnetic nonlinearity to up‐convert low‐frequency fields to the mechanical resonance, where sensitivity is optimal. This enables flat wideband operation over more than four orders of magnitude, from tens of kilohertz to sub‐hertz ...

Bias‐Engineered Synthetic Antiferromagnets Hosting Sub‐20 nm Zero‐Field Skyrmions at Room Temperature

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 46, 17 August 2026.
A fully compensated synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) multilayer exhibits a uniform state at zero field, without skyrmions. We use a SAF bias system to provide RKKY‐mediated exchange bias to the SAF multilayer, promoting zero‐field skyrmion stabilization and polarity control.
