A hybrid model for mapping simplified seismic response via a GIS-metamodel approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In earthquake-prone areas, site seismic response due to lithostratigraphic sequence plays a key role in seismic hazard assessment. A hybrid model, consisting of GIS and metamodel (model of model) procedures, was introduced aimed at estimating the 1-D ...

The Role of Soil Structure Interaction on the Seismic Resilience of Isolated Structures

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Resilience has become an interesting parameter to assess the seismic risk connected with functionality of structures. In this regard, losses due to earthquakes may be significantly reduced by applying isolation at the base of the structures.

Tunable Plug‐and‐Play Meta‐Nanogenerator Materials for Multi‐Range Force Measurements

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The multifunctional and tunable meta‐nanogenerator material system combines a mechanical metamaterial and a triboelectric nanogenerator enabling self‐powered, real‐time force sensing across application‐specific ranges. Geometrical tuning adjusts stiffness and the force sensing range, while modular integration streamlines assembly.
