Magneto‐X Effects in Magnetic Soft Materials and Their Applications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review systematically explores magnetic soft materials (MSMs), a novel class of composites that transform under magnetic fields. It catalogs fundamental “Magneto‐X” effects, classifies materials by their matrix and magnetic fillers, and highlights transformative applications in soft robotics, biomedical devices, flexible electronics, etc. Finally,

Immersive reality capabilities of relieving hiraeth
Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding how immersive experiences foster a sense of presence sufficient to rival real‐world experiences remains an open research area. Prior work has largely examined episodic memory recall in simulated environments, but less is known about how immersive technologies can reconnect individuals with personal memories.

Seismic assessment of plain concrete arch bridges by three dimensional simulation using geometrical and mechanical properties [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2018 There are numerous old arch bridges in Iran that have been used as railway bridges for more than seventy years. Since most of these bridges are not designed for earthquake excitation, seismic vulnerability of these structures is uncertain.

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Evaluation of Modal and FEMA Pushover Analyses: SAC Buildings
Earthquake Spectra, 2004 This paper comprehensively evaluates the Modal Pushover Analysis (MPA) procedure against the “exact” nonlinear response history analysis (RHA) and investigates the accuracy of seismic demands determined by pushover analysis using FEMA-356 force distributions; the MPA procedure in this paper contains several improvements over the original version ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...
