Seismic design and analysis of reinforced concrete buckling-restrained braced frame buildings with multi-performance criteria

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2019
Buckling-restrained braces play a critical role as the first-defendant line in dissipating seismic energy and are often used in concrete frame structures to ensure that the main beam–column members are “undamaged” or significantly elastic during medium ...

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.

Approaches for design of lightweight steel structures, current controlling conditions, and the issues recommended to be emphasized in a prospective lightweight steel building code

Pamukkale University Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2018
Because of the absence of a comprehensive code for cold-formed steel constructions in Turkey sections, capacity, design, production and assembly of cold-formed lightweight steel buildings cannot be fully controlled. Especially during periods of high market demand, economic structures which are considered as standard in accordance with the market ...

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...
