Field Measurement-Based System Identification and Dynamic Response Prediction of a Unique MIT Building

open access: yesSensors, 2016
Tall buildings are ubiquitous in major cities and house the homes and workplaces of many individuals. However, relatively few studies have been carried out to study the dynamic characteristics of tall buildings based on field measurements. In this paper,

Constitutive Behavior of Rocks During the Seismic Cycle

open access: yesAGU Advances, 2023
AbstractEstablishing a constitutive law for fault friction is a crucial objective of earthquake science. However, the complex frictional behavior of natural and synthetic gouges in laboratory experiments eludes explanations. Here, we present a constitutive framework that elucidates the rate, state, and temperature dependence of fault friction under the

Loser in Fight but Winner in Love: How Does Inter-Male Competition Determine the Pattern and Outcome of Courtship in Cricket Gryllus bimaculatus?

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Animal females are generally assumed to prefer males that win fights. However, a growing number of studies in numerous animal taxa demonstrate no correlation between male fighting ability and their attractiveness, or even female preferences for fight ...

IMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR OF STEEL ROCK BARRIERS UNDER A FALLING ROCK

open access: yesDoboku Gakkai Ronbunshu, 1989
The impulsive behavior for steel barriers protecting a falling rock is experimentally investigated. A sand layer or a pile of used tires is usually laid on the steel barriers as a shock-absorbing material against a falling rock.Investigation has been carried out from the following points of view:(1) a discrepancy of the shock-absorbing potentialities ...
