Concept, Tests, and Optimum Design of Novel Negative Stiffness Friction Dampers for Seismic Protection of Long‐Span Bridges

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

Pedestrian-Induced Bridge Vibration Driven by Behavioral Preferences

Buildings
Modern lightweight pedestrian bridges exhibit heightened susceptibility to human-induced vibration due to low natural frequencies and high flexibility. This study integrates behavioral science to explore pedestrian–structure coupling, developing a novel bidirectional biomechanical model capturing vertical/lateral movements.

Evaluating vibrations on a small-scale model of a timber footbridge

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
In Brazil, the study of pedestrian-induced vibration on footbridges has been undertaken since the early 1990s, for concrete and steel footbridges. However, there are no recorded studies of this kind for timber footbridges.

Phenotypic Exploration in Patients with Heterozygous Variant in AFG3L2 Gene: A Case‐Series and Literature Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Variants in AFG3‐Like Matrix AAA Peptidase, Subunit 2 (AFG3L2) gene are associated with diverse clinical phenotypes. Here, we describe phenotypic findings of two unrelated children with de novo heterozygous variant and one family with inherited heterozygous variant in AFG3L2 gene.
