Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.We introduce new efficient and accurate first order finite volume‐type numerical schemes, for the non‐conservative one‐dimensional blood flow equations with transport, taking into account different velocity profiles. The framework is the flux‐vector splitting approach of Toro and Vázquez‐Cendón (2012), that splits the system in two subsystems of PDEs ...

Exploring Thermal and Mechanical Strains During Laying Down Process in Fused Filament Fabrication
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.This study analyzes strain evolution and thermal behavior during FFF of PLA using strain gauges and infrared imaging. Microstrain levels depend on printing conditions, with adhesion‐induced compression during cooling and peak strains in early layers. Microtomography shows minimal porosity, while thermal imaging reveals rapid heat penetration, strong ...
