Enhancement of Seismic Resilience of Structures With Tuned Mass Damper Inerter by Using Effective Damping Ratio

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This study investigates the performance of a tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) in enhancing the seismic performance of structures by focusing on the concept of effective damping ratio (EDR) and its enhancement through the effective damping ratio enhancement (EDRE) approach. An analytical model is developed for a single‐degree‐of‐freedom system subjected

Disorder‐Driven Fast Na+ Transport: From Crystalline to Amorphous Networks in the Mixed‐Anion NaTaOxCl6−2x Oxychlorides

Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 16, Issue 24, 24 June 2026.
Oxygen substitution in NaTaOxCl6‐2x drives structural evolution from isolated [TaCl6]– octahedra, through oxygen‐bridged [Ta2OCl10]2– dimers, toward extended trans‐[TaO2Cl4]3– chain‐like arrangements. At intermediate compositions, zero‐dimensional corner‐sharing motifs are proposed to create a flexible, disordered framework that peaks ionic ...

Structural Health Monitoring of a Unidirectional Isolation Bridge: Bidirectional Seismic Behavior, Stochastic Model Updating, and Prediction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 759-780, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Neuro‐Immune Crosstalk: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...

Inerter Chain−Embedded Finite Locally Resonant Meta‐Foundations for Enhanced Seismic Protection of Liquid Storage Tanks

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Liquid storage tanks exhibit complex dynamic behaviors under seismic excitation due to fluid−structure interaction, where resonance effects amplify sloshing, elevate hydrodynamic pressures, and increase the risk of structural damage. While traditional bearing−based isolation reduces seismic responses by introducing a flexible isolation layer, it ...

Mitigating Seismic Impacts on Asymmetric Structures Through Response Control Technologies

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The rise in irregular building construction, driven by esthetics and limited land availability, has led to increased vulnerability to lateral loads. Designers are adopting response control systems (RCSs) to ensure occupant safety and mitigate the risk of structural failure. Among the widely used RCSs are base isolators and dampers.

Effectiveness of Straight‐Wall and Sloped‐Wall House Hold Water Tank Acting as a Tuned Liquid Damper in Mitigating Structural Vibrations: A Dynamic Assessment

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
This research distinguishes the performance of three types of water tanks, which are acting as tuned liquid dampers (TLDs; i.e., rectangular shape flat‐bottom with straight wall, square shape flat‐bottom with straight‐wall, and square shape flat‐bottom with sloped‐wall tanks) in the same plan area firmly fixed to the upper most part of the G+7 framed ...

Enhancing operational performance assessment of structures with seismic response modification devices: The role of observability and symmetry analysis under limited sensor deployment

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 53, Issue 15, Page 4581-4603, December 2024.
Abstract To manage structural responses under various external forces, the increasing incorporation of seismic isolation and supplementary damping systems in modern civil engineering necessitates post‐installation performance assessments. The challenge of accurately inferring system information from these complex dynamical structures, especially with ...
