PUSHOVER ANALYSIS OF ASYMMETRIC THREE‐DIMENSIONAL BUILDING FRAMES
JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT, 2005 The effect of higher modes of vibration on the total non‐linear dynamic response of a structure is a very important and unsolved problem. To simplify the process the static non‐linear pushover analysis was proposed associated with the capacity spectrum method, utilising a load pattern proportional to the shape of the fundamental mode of vibration of ...

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Iterative solvers are advantageous for handling nonlinear structural analysis problems. The iterative solvers often require updating the stiffness matrix, which limits their application in static and pseudo‐dynamic hybrid simulations because: (1) updating the stiffness matrix of a system involving a physical specimen is challenging; (2 ...

Exercising electrocardiograms from Thoroughbred racehorses with exercise associated sudden death
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Exercise associated sudden death (EASD), defined as a fatal collapse in a closely monitored and previously presumed clinically healthy horse that occurs during exercise or within approximately 1 h after exercise, is disproportionately more common in equine than in human athletes.

Anthropologist, heal thyself: Toward an anthropology of healing through relational interbeing
Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.Abstract I call for an anthropology that confronts its own woundedness. Anthropologists often bear witness to suffering but rarely examine how our own grief, trauma, and institutional distress shape the affective tone of our work. Drawing on fieldwork with Runa (Quechua) women affected by forced sterilization in Peru and guided by my collaborator and ...

Journal of Clinical Psychology, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 516-525, June 2025.ABSTRACT AVATAR therapy (AT) works by facilitating a ‘face‐to‐face’ dialog between the person and a digital representation (avatar) of their persecutory voice. Although there is cumulative evidence of this way of working with voices, enhancing the therapeutic focus on improved confidence and a sense of control of the voices in social situations ...
