Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1467-1487, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Experimental Dataset From Full‐Scale Near‐Collapse Tests on Two‐Storey, Two‐Bay Masonry‐Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames With Timber‐Based Reinforced Concrete‐Timber Panel Seismic Retrofit

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study describes a dataset from an experimental campaign investigating the quasi‐static cyclic lateral response of two full‐scale, two‐storey, two‐bay reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infills representative of mid‐20th century European construction practice.

Robust Inverse Material Design With Physical Guarantees Using the Voigt‐Reuss Net

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
ABSTRACT We apply the Voigt‐Reuss net, a spectrally normalized neural surrogate introduced in [38], for forward and inverse mechanical homogenization with a key guarantee that all predicted effective stiffness tensors satisfy Voigt‐Reuss bounds in the Löwner sense during training, inference, and gradient‐driven optimization.

Systematic Parameter Selection for Short Fiber Polymer Composite Direct Fiber Simulation

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 7, Page 6319-6340, 10 April 2026.
Interactions of individually simulated fibers are systematically calibrated such that their orientation history agrees with the results from analytical orientation models. ABSTRACT The orientation of fibers in short discontinuous fiber reinforced polymer composites is a critical factor in determining final mechanical and thermal properties.

The application of special matrix product to differential quadrature solution of geometrically nonlinear bending of orthotropic rectangular plates

open access: yes, 1999
The Hadamard and SJT product of matrices are two types of special matrix product. The latter was first defined by Chen. In this study, they are applied to the differential quadrature (DQ) solution of geometrically nonlinear bending of isotropic and ...

A cracked orthotropic sheet stiffened by a semi-infinite orthotropic sheet [PDF]

open access: yes
The stress intensity factor is determined for a cracked orthotropic sheet adhesively bonded to an orthotropic stringer. Since the stringer is modeled as a semiinfinite sheet, the solution is most appropriate for a crack tip located near a stringer edge ...
