Simplified out-of-plane seismic behavior assessment of non-structural rocking walls
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2023 This paper provides a simplified tool for preliminary seismic assessment of the out-of-plane behavior of non-structural walls, such as unreinforced masonry partition walls, based on non-linear time-history analyses.

Antipredator behavior in the rock-paper-scissors model [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2021 When faced with an imminent risk of predation, many animals react to escape consumption. Antipredator strategies are performed by individuals acting as a group to intimidate predators and minimize the damage when attacked. We study the antipredator prey response in spatial tritrophic systems with cyclic species dominance using the rock-paper-scissors ...

SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF A ROCK TUNNEL
Doboku Gakkai Ronbunshu, 1986 In order to investigate seismic behavior of a rock tunnel, earthquake observations have been carried out in the Shin Usami Tunnel of JNR's Line, located in Ito City of Shizuoka prefecture. From an analysis of earthquake records observed from July 1983 to June 1985, the following results were obtained.(1) The direction of the predominant motion of an ...

Development of retention plate which holds spent fuel cask
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2021 A method to retain a cask by a retention plate has been developed. In this method, a small fitting gap between the bottom of the cask and the circular hollow of the retention plate controls movement of the cask in the range of the circular hollow area at

A Simplified Mechanical Model for Rocking Structures on Compliant Foundations
Applied MechanicsHousner’s classical rocking model assumes a rigid base, which often leads to inaccurate seismic assessments under real–world soil conditions. This study quantitatively establishes the applicability limits of the rigid–base assumption and defines a ...
