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

On the post-buckling of elastic beams on gradient foundation
The post-buckling of an axially loaded elastic beam resting on linearly elastic medium is investigated in this paper from a geometrically exact analysis. It is known that the elastic foundation increases the bifurcation limit, but it may have a destabilizing effect on the post-buckling behavior associated to imperfection sensitivity.

Applied Element Modelling of Out‐Of‐Plane Instability in Boundary Elements of Thin RC Walls
ABSTRACT Recent earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011) caused extensive damage to buildings featuring reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls, with observed failure modes including out‐of‐plane instability of slender walls. This buckling‐type response under combined in‐plane and out‐of‐plane loading has also been documented in ...

Design by analysis of ductile failure and buckling in torispherical pressure vessel heads
Thin shell torispherical pressure vessel heads are known to exhibit complex elastic-plastic deformation and buckling behaviour under static pressure. In pressure vessel Design by Analysis, the designer is required to assess both of these behaviour modes ...

Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity
First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.
