Assessment of static and dynamic stresses horse-shoe tunnel with connecting gallery using finite element method: (as a case study) [PDF]
, 2018 This paper illustrates the use of MIDAS GTS NX to investigate the tunnel’s simulation in order to highlight the effect of static and dynamic load on the behaviour of tunnel to compare this response expressed in terms of displacement and stresses ...

Active Metamaterials with Tunable Shear Nonreciprocity and Nonlinear Dynamics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Active gear‐based mechanical metamaterials enable simultaneous control of translational and torsional stiffnesses by 30–100×, break shear reciprocity under positive versus negative loads, broadly tune resonant frequencies, and offer programmable dynamic responses.

Nonlinear seismic response of 3D canyon in deep soft soils
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017 A model is proposed for nonlinear seismic response of 3D canyon in deep soft soils. In the model, the viscous-elastic boundary and the equivalent node force input method are combined for wave motion input, and the equivalent linear method is introduced ...

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

Investigation of ground motion vertical and horizontal component effects on the IDA curves for the regular and irregular steel moment frames [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2019 The effect of seismic vertical components on the seismic behavior of structural systems can be considerable. The vertical component of ground motion records can cause the brittle collapse of columns resulting in global collapse of structures. This effect
