Dynamic loading factors of individual jogging forces [PDF]
, 2016 With increasingly popular marathon events in urban environments, such as in London and New York City, structural designers are faced with a great deal of uncertainty when assessing dynamic performance of bridges occupied and dynamically excited by people

Long‐Range Exciton Energy Transfer in Two‐Dimensional Materials
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.This review highlights recent advances in long‐range exciton energy transfer within planar 2D‐material architectures. It emphasizes the emergence of self‐hybridized excitonpolaritons, exciton coupling to surface plasmon polaritons and plasmonic lattices, and the role of dipoledipole transfer pathways in enabling efficient nanoscale energy transport ...

COVID-19 societal response captured by seismic noise in China and Italy
, 2020 Seismic noise with frequencies above 1 Hz is often called cultural noise and is generally correlated quite well with human activities. Recently, cities in mainland China and Italy imposed lockdown restrictions in response to COVID-19, which gave us an ...

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Molecular Staging, Risk Factors, Therapeutics, and Emerging Trends
Med Research, EarlyView.The heterogeneous landscape of DPN can be unified through a tripartite pathogenic model encompassing progressive stages of metabolic dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and overt neuronal damage. Within this framework, six clinical subtypes were identified, namely, hyperglycemia‐driven, dyslipidemia‐driven, inflammation‐driven, dysvascularity‐driven ...

Modelling Pedestrian-Induced Vertical Vibrations of Footbridges
, 2015 A pedestrian crowd walking on a footbridge causes the footbridge to vibrate. These vibrations become an issue of serviceability and can give rise to discomfort for the pedestrians, whereby they should, to as large extent as possible, be prevented. Currently, there is a lack of reliable models to describe a dynamic load on a footbridge, due to a walking

Modal mass estimation for vibration serviceability assessment of footbridges [PDF]
, 2016 Recent high-profile failures of footbridges to carry pedestrians without excessive and uncomfortable vibration have shown the need for a better understanding of vibration serviceability of structures under pedestrian loads. Failure to predict excessive

CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a

Data-driven models for human–structure interaction based on MLP and NARX neural networks
Frontiers in Built EnvironmentStructural design often neglects the dynamic effects induced by human activities. Excessive vibrations in structures such as pedestrian bridges, grandstands, slabs, and stairways have highlighted the analysis as dynamic systems of humans interacting with
