Mechanical Behaviors of a Buckling-Plate Self-Centering Friction Damper
Buildings, 2023 In order to improve the resilience of structures subjected to strong earthquakes, a buckling-plate self-centering friction damper (BPSCFD) with low post-yielding stiffness is proposed, which consists of a group of post-buckling plates and a self ...

A characterization for 2-self-centered graphs
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2018 A Graph is called 2-self-centered if its diameter and radius both equal to 2. In this paper, we begin characterizing these graphs by characterizing edge-maximal 2-self-centered graphs via their complements. Then we split characterizing edge-minimal 2-self-centered graphs into two cases. First, we characterize edge-minimal 2-self-centered graphs without
