Infrasound Unmasks Flow Turbulence as an Additional Seismic Source in Debris Flows
Geophysical Research LettersDebris flows radiate both seismic and infrasonic waves. According to previous studies, seismic energy is generated by the solid particle collisions with the riverbed and is dominated by the boulder‐rich front, while infrasound is produced by turbulence ...

Scale and the origins of structural change [PDF]
Structural change involves a broad set of trends: (i) sectoral reallocations, (ii) rich movements of productive activities between home and market, and (iii) an increase in the scale of productive units. After extending these facts, we develop a model to

Bistable Mechanisms 3D Printing for Mechanically Programmable Vibration Control
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces a 3D‐printed bistable mechanism integrated into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) for mechanically adaptive passive vibration suppression. Through optimized geometry, the bistable design provides adaptable vibration reduction across a broad range of scenarios, achieving effective vibration mitigation without complex controls or external ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates laser shock peening for enhancing fatigue performance of riveted aerospace aluminum joints. A comparative approach with cold expansion combines fatigue testing and synchrotron X‐ray methods. Integrating mechanical testing with residual stress and strain characterization provides insights into how different treatments affect the ...
