Cross‐Entropy of Power Spectral Density Function: A Modal Identification Framework
ABSTRACT The power spectral density (PSD) function of measured structural response contains a significant amount of information, including the modal parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios). Output‐only system identification or modal identification technique can be used for extracting such modal parameters from the measured response or its ...

ABSTRACT The seismic capacity of structural systems/members is usually defined in terms of deformation thresholds. Although this is effective in many circumstances, disregarding cumulative quantities such as hysteretic energy may be ineffective when low‐cycle fatigue is relevant (e.g., long‐duration ground motions, very soft soils, ground‐motion ...

ABSTRACT Seismic fragility assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges exposed to corrosive environments must reliably capture time‐dependent deterioration impacts. Climate change compounds this challenge through nonstationary temperature and humidity variations that accelerate bridge corrosion.

ABSTRACT Issue Addressed Fatigue‐related driving guidance typically assumes that individuals have sufficient control over sleep and travel decisions to implement recommended strategies. Early parenthood represents a critical exception, characterised by chronic sleep disruption and constrained capacity to avoid driving while fatigued.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Interactions with natural environments are associated with benefits for health and wellbeing, yet it remains unclear whether different types of nature spaces confer distinct benefits. The present study investigated (i) whether visits to blue spaces, such as rivers, lakes, canals and coasts, are associated with greater ...

A comparison of the UK's hot, dry summers of 1976 and 2025
Summer 2025 was the warmest so far recorded for the UK, and low precipitation amounts in preceding months and through the summer led to drought conditions in many areas of the UK. The hot, dry conditions prompted many comparisons with the infamous hot, dry summer of 1976.
