Seismic Performance of Masonry Building
The frequent occurrence of huge earthquake in the recent years results catastrophic losses to the people’s life and property, which is mainly caused by the devastation of many buildings. The Tangshan Earthquake (Ms 7.8,1976) and Wenchuan Earthquake (Ms 8.0,2008) should be mentioned here for the destructive influence on the development of China in the ...

A Splitting Architecture for Exact Reduced Coulomb Friction
Abstract Existing approaches to frictional contact dynamics typically either modify the Coulomb law to improve numerical robustness or solve the exact law in a fully coupled monolithic form. However, in its reduced form, exact Coulomb friction can be written as a cone complementarity problem with an augmented velocity, which reveals a natural split ...
