Negative Stiffness Induced and Controlled by Constriction

open access: yesphysica status solidi (b), EarlyView.
Structures with negative stiffness can be stabilized by constriction of external displacement. Furthermore, constriction can make a conventional positive stiffness material exhibit negative stiffness, either bidirectional or unidirectional (shown in the figure).

In Situ Growth of 2D Perovskite Nanocrystals to Induce β–Phase of PVDF for Piezoelectric Nanogenerators with Ultra‐High Output Voltage

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
In situ grown 2D perovskite nanocrystals embedded in PVDF enable flexible piezoelectric nanogenerators with greatly enhanced β‐phase content and a high d33∗${\mathrm{d}}_{33}^{\mathrm{*}}$ of 35.16 pm/V. The devices deliver up to 66.54 V, exhibit light‐enhanced piezoelectricity, and maintain durability over 12000 cycles, offering a stable energy source

The Pier Luigi Nervi's concrete structure of Palazzetto dello Sport: Modeling and dynamic characterization

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a numerical and experimental study aimed at the modeling and dynamic characterization of the reinforced concrete structure of the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome, designed and by Pier Luigi Nervi with Annibale Vitellozzi, and built by Nervi & Bartoli contractors in 1956‐57.

Experimental study on the impact of traffic‐induced vibrations on early‐age concrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The COUNT (Concreting under Traffic) research project systematically examined the effects of traffic‐induced vibrations on early‐age, hardening concrete—a critical issue for bridge construction and renovation. Traffic closures are often imposed during such projects to mitigate potential damage from vibrations.

The 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake, low fault friction, and the crustal support of plate driving forces in India [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We present a source model for the 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake of northwest India. The slip distribution suggests a high stress drop (~35 MPa) and, together with the depth distribution of aftershocks, that the entire crust is seismogenic. We suggest that
