Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2930-2947, September 2026.ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2026.Broadly taking up Amitav Ghosh's (2016) comment that when it comes to climate change ‘we seem to learn nothing; our historical imagination is very limited’, this article argues that disregarding environmental memory, and past knowledge to plan a more resilient future, the Canterbury Earthquakes 2010–2011 continued and enabled suburbanisation and an ...

Macromolecular Theory and Simulations, Volume 35, Issue 5, September 2026.Coarse‐grained molecular dynamics simulations reveal how crosslinking governs deformation and viscoelasticity in rubber networks. Crosslinks promote molecular‐chain orientation and preferentially carry deformation stress. Increasing crosslink density slows stress relaxation, lowers the loss tangent peak, and raises the equilibrium modulus, while stress

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.The Plio‐Pleistocene succession of the Po Plain Basin was interpreted basin‐wide using seismic profiles and well data, identifying six major tectonic unconformities. Sediment volumes were calculated and decompacted to assess tectonic and climatic controls on basin infill, revealing a marked increase in detrital flux after 1.5 Ma, coincident with the ...
