Fuzzy-Valued Intensity Measures for Near-Fault Pulse-Like Ground Motions

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, 2013
Two fuzzy-valued (FV) structure-specific intensity measures (IMs), one based on squared spectral velocity and the other on inelastic spectral displacement, are presented to characterize near-fault pulse-like ground motions for performance-based seismic design and assessment of concrete frame structures.

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...

Neurovascular Contacts in the Pathophysiology of Neuralgic Amyotrophy: An Observational Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a prevalent, monophasic, multifocal immune‐mediated neuropathy. A distinctive characteristic of the disease is the occurrence of nerve or fascicle constrictions and torsions (NA‐associated focal nerve lesions, NAFL). The pathophysiology underlying this phenomenon remains to be fully elucidated.

Comparison between the Effects of Near- and Far-Fault Ground Motions on the Seismic Response of a Soil-Pile-Structure System [PDF]

Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016
Ground motions recorded in near-fault sites, where the rupture propagates toward the site, are significantly different from those observed in far-fault regions.

Interpretation of simultaneously optimized fuzzy controller and active tuned mass damper parameters under pulse-type ground motions

, 2022
All fuzzy logic controller specifications and active tuned mass damper (ATMD) parameters are simultaneously optimized under seven pulse-type near-fault earthquake records.

Investigation of Laser Ablation and Brush Pre‐Treatments for AlCu Cold Roll Bonding in Oxygen‐Free Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
It is shown that laser ablation pretreatment under oxygen‐free conditions enables copper–aluminium bonding at significantly lower deformation degrees and improved properties compared to mechanical brushing. Laser ablation further increases interface contact area and induces favourable residual stress states and microstructural compatibility ...

Embankment Seismic Fragility Assessment under the Near-Fault Pulse-like Ground Motions by Applying the Response Surface Method

Shock and Vibration, 2021
Uncertainties of the ground motions and structural parameters are the main factors that limit the accuracy of embankment seismic fragility assessment.

Reduction of Oxide Inclusions During the High‐Frequency Welding of Steel via a Nonthermal Ar/H2 Plasma Jet

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
High‐frequency (HF) welding of steel is limited by oxide inclusions that degrade weld quality. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the integration of a nonthermal Ar/H2 dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma jet into HF welding. Local plasma treatment provides effective shielding and in‐situ oxide reduction, resulting in markedly fewer and ...

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Deoxidation of Natively Oxide Layer of Copper Powders in a Fluidized Bed

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This paper presents a novel approach to reducing oxide layers on metal powders using low‐temperature hydrogen dielectric barrier discharge plasmas at atmospheric pressure. Unlike conventional hydrogen‐plasma reductions, the powders do not contact the plasma directly.

Evaluating the dynamic response and failure process of a rock slope under pulse-like ground motions

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2023
Earthquake-induced landslides represent a significant proportion of seismic hazards in mountainous areas. Numerous slope stability analysis methods exist; however, only a few consider the interactions between pulselike seismic waves and landslides.
