Abstract Changes in seismic properties can help assess slope damage, which is influenced by external factors such as temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, air pressure, and local seismicity. However, the contributions of these factors, and how the dominant factor modulates transient and seasonal seismic velocity changes (δv/v $\delta v/v$), remain ...

Abstract The 31 August 2025 Mw 5.9 Asadabad earthquake in eastern Afghanistan caused severe damage despite its moderate magnitude, raising questions about rupture processes and seismic hazard in the southern Hindu Kush. Using Sentinel‐1 InSAR and teleseismic waveform modeling, we reveal a complex, multi‐stage shallow (4–5 km) rupture involving the ...

Active Metamaterials with Tunable Shear Nonreciprocity and Nonlinear Dynamics
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.

Abstract The long‐term viability of Jatropha curcas as a biodiesel feedstock has been widely debated. Many early initiatives failed to deliver consistent economic returns despite promising environmental attributes. This study re‐evaluated J. curcas‐based systems within an integrated environmental–economic framework, focusing on their potential role in ...

External Vibrations on Early‐Age Concrete: A Review
Scientific illustration of external vibration, their influencing properties and effects, possible outcomes and measures adapted. ABSTRACT Early‐age concrete exhibits limited mechanical strength, making it highly susceptible to external disturbances such as vibrations from construction activities, traffic, or nearby machinery which can disrupt internal ...
