Seismic responses of multistory buildings with self-centering buckling-restrained braces: Influence of the pretension force

Engineering structures, 2021
The post-earthquake repairability of self-centering buckling restrained braced frames (SCBFs) is usually evaluated based on structural performance indexes. From the view of the performance demands for SCBFs, further studies are urgently needed to discuss

A self-centering electrostatic microgripper

Journal of Manufacturing Systems, 2008
Abstract Automated microassembly of micro hybrid devices is one fundamental step to reduce their high cost. Often, microassembly deals with fragile and wear-sensitive microparts that must be accurately grasped, positioned, and released or fastened in stable positions.

Stochastic Response of SDOF Self-Centering System

International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics, 2020
As a new type of seismic resisting device, the self-centering system is attractive due to its excellent re-centering capability, but research on such a system under random seismic loadings is quite limited. In this paper, the stochastic response of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) self-centering system driven by a white noise process is investigated.

Contradictions of Self-Centered Development

2021
This chapter first presents a model of capitalism that is based on the bargaining power of labor. Capitalism is able to grow because rising real wages create new investment opportunities by capital deepening and market enlargement. However, this process is restricted to a small number of economies in the world, while the Global South remains dominated ...

Development of a novel self-centering slip friction brace for enhancing the cyclic behaviors of RC double-column bridge bents

, 2021
Bridges may suffer large residual displacements after a severe earthquake, which significantly impedes the post-quake rescue activities. It is imperative to minimize the residual deformations of bridge structures.
