Semi-Active Friction Damping of Large Space Truss Structures
Shock and Vibration, 2004 The present approach for vibration suppression of flexible structures is based on friction damping in semi-active joints. At optimal locations conventional rigid connections of a large truss structure are replaced by semi-active friction joints.

Equilibrium and stability of beams with elastoplastic semi-rigid joints [PDF]
Archives of Civil EngineeringThe classical theory of beams admits two types of connections between structural elements: perfectly rigid and perfectly flexible. However, the engineering reality calls for a more general approach to joint modelling.

Recent research and development in semi-rigid composite joints with precast hollowcore slabs [PDF]
, 2008 Composite structure incorporating steel beams and precast hollowcore slabs is a recently developed composite floor system for building structures. This form of composite construction is so far limited to simple beam-column connections.

A review of progressive collapse research and regulations [PDF]
, 2014 History has demonstrated that buildings designed to conventional design codes can lack the robustness necessary to withstand localised damage, partial or even complete collapse. This variable performance has led governmental organisations to seek ways of

An All‐Optical Driven Bio‐Photovoltaic Interface for Active Control of Live Cells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bio‐photovoltaic Interface (BIO‐PV‐I) for live cell manipulation is presented. BIO‐PV‐I can be activated non‐invasively and remotely to control the spatial motility, adhesion, and morphology of cells adhering to it. BIO‐PV‐I uses a patterned light‐induced electric potential in iron‐doped lithium niobate crystals whose light‐driven and reversible nature,

Nonlinear seismic analysis of steel frame with semi-rigid joints
Građevinar, 2015 The nonlinear seismic analysis of steel frame without diagonals is presented in the paper. The real behaviour of semi-rigid joints is taken into account through prior numerical simulation of the selected type of joint.

Redistribution of the influences in systems with semi-rigid joints on elastic foundations [PDF]
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2010 Most often, in the case of typefied prefabricated systems, foundations are designed and constructed as prefabricated elements as well. When the structure is exposed to high intensity loading and founded on a weak soil, beam foundations are often used ...

Melt Grafting of Geometry‐Tailored Voltage Stabilizers for High‐Performance Polypropylene Insulation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A scalable one‐step melt grafting strategy is developed to enhance the dielectric properties of isotactic polypropylene by covalently incorporating thermally stable aromatic voltage stabilizers. This solvent‐free approach improves volume resistivity and DC breakdown strength through deep trap formation and charge localization, offering a sustainable ...
