Weak‐Story Mitigation and Drift Redistribution in Moment‐Resisting Frames Using Stepping Rocking Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

Point spectra and normal modes of the Rayleigh loaded string with damping [PDF]

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics
We describe the point spectra of some dissipative version of the celebrated “Rayleigh loaded string”, an elastic string of finite length carrying a number n ≥ 1 of equally spaced, equal point masses, which is a basic model that exhibits a band ...

Bio‐inspired nanophotonics: Structural color, chirality, and resonance metasurfaces

InfoMat, EarlyView.
A butterfly‐wing‐inspired anisotropic plasmonic flatband resonant metasurface. Insets, photo of the butterfly, Sasakia charonda, and the SEM image of its wing scale (above); the SEM image of the metasurface (below). Abstract The dazzling colors of butterfly wings and hummingbird feathers are not painted with pigments, but crafted by nature's invisible ...

Two heterogeneous algorithms for partitioned analysis of nuclear power plants considering soil-structure interaction

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
In order to efficiently perform the dynamic analysis of nuclear power plants considering soil-structure interaction, two partitioned algorithms in parallel manner were proposed, in which the factors such as structural damping, soil nonlinearity, and ...

Three‐Dimensional Optical Characterization of Magnetostrictive Deformation in Magnomechanical Systems

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
An optical approach is proposed for real‐time and high‐precision detection of the magnetostrictive deformation of an yttrium‐iron‐garnet sphere in three dimensions, based on the deformation induced spatial high‐order modes of the scattered field, postselection, and balanced homodyne detection.

Mathematical Model of Deformation of an Orthotropic Shell Under Blast Loading

Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings
This paper proposes a mathematical model of the deformation of a thin-walled shell structure under dynamic loading, specifically, blast loading. To account for the damping of the resulting vibrations, the author’s previously proposed model was modified ...

Lattice Resonances in Periodic Arrays of Time‐Modulated Scatterers

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work explores how periodic time modulation alters the collective optical behavior of periodic arrays of scatterers, shedding light on the critical role of collective effects in time‐varying photonic systems and unveiling new opportunities for amplification, active control, and nonreciprocal functionalities.

Controlling the Center of Mass Motion of Levitated Particles Using Structured Wavefronts

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Optically levitated particles have great potential for quantum‐enhanced sensing. Precise control of the trapping beam is crucial to improve the stability and confinement of these systems. Here, we study how structured wavefronts can be used to control the center‐of‐mass motion of levitated particles, enhancing trap stiffness and enabling stable ...

Data-Driven Identification of Rayleigh-Damped Second-Order Systems

, 2022
In this paper, we present a data-driven approach to identify second-order systems, having internal Rayleigh damping. This means that the damping matrix is given as a linear combination of the mass and stiffness matrices. These systems typically appear when performing various engineering studies, e.g., vibrational and structural analysis.

How interference between the North Atlantic Oscillation and the tropical Indo‐Pacific convection modulates wave trains along the subtropical jet: Impacts on the Asian winter climate

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the combined effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and anomalous Indo‐Pacific Walker circulation on the excitation of the wave train along the wintertime subtropical jet strongly depend on their phase combination. Their impacts interfere constructively or destructively over South Asia, leading to notable differences in
