Finite-discrete element modelling of masonry infill walls subjected to out-of-plane loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper, the out-of-plane response of infill walls is investigated by means of non-linear monotonic (push-over) analyses through a combined finite and discrete modelling approach.

Microscale Mapping of Fiber Strain and Damage in Composite Wrinkled Laminates Using Computed Tomography Assisted Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines full‐field tomography with diffraction mapping to quantify radial (ε002$\varepsilon _{002}$) and axial (ε100$\varepsilon _{100}$) lattice strain in wrinkled carbon‐fiber specimens for the first time. Radial microstrain gradients (−14.5 µεMPa$\varepsilon \mathrm{MPa}$−1) are found to signal damage‐prone zones ahead of failure, which ...

Concept and development of a steel–bamboo SI (skeleton–infill) system: experimental and theoretical analysis

open access: yesJournal of Wood Science, 2019
A steel–bamboo SI (skeleton–infill) system with steel frame as the skeleton and bamboo box as the filler is proposed, which realizes the requirements of building assembly and sustainable development.

Finite element analyses on hysteretic behavior of steel frames infilled with AAC masonry wall with circular-arc openings

open access: yesJournal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2023
The steel frame infilled with the autoclaved lightweight aerated concrete (AAC) masonry wall is widely applied in buildings. However, earthquake damage investigation has revealed that infill walls have a significant influence on the mechanical behaviors ...

Toward More Autonomous Soft Robots: Development and Characterization of a 3D‐Printed Pneumatic Contact Sensor for a Six‐Legged Soft Robotic Walker

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces a fully 3D‐printed, electronics‐free sensory system for a six‐legged soft robot, enabling adaptive responses such as obstacle detection and directional changes using pneumatic logic gates. The design demonstrates efficient, robust operation through rapid sensor feedback and autonomous functionality, highlighting new ...

Field responsive mechanical metamaterials. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Typically, mechanical metamaterial properties are programmed and set when the architecture is designed and constructed, and do not change in response to shifting environmental conditions or application requirements.

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

Study on Performance of Infilled Wall in an RC-Framed Structure Using a Reinforcing Band

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022
Infilled wall is a primary structure which is used in a multistorey RC-framed structure. It is not designed like structural elements, but it is subjected to structural load and response as a heavily damaged element into the building.
