Spatially Modulated Morphotropic Phase Boundaries in a Compressively Strained Multiferroic Thin Film
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The coexisting rhombohedral‐like (R′, MA) and tetragonal‐like (T′, MC) monoclinic phases in compressively strained bismuth ferrite thin films exhibit exceptional piezoelectric and magnetic properties. While previous studies have largely focused on probing the morphotropic phase boundaries (MPBs) comprising ordered R′/T′ twins, their self ...

An investigation on the effect of gusset plate connection rigidity on the seismic behavior of special concentrically braced frames [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016 Special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) are commonly used to resist lateral loads in buildings. The bracing system sustains large deformations due to inelastic behavior in bracing members (buckling and yielding in tension).
