Seismic behavior of dual function slitted shear wall

open access: yes, 2001
The concept of seismic structural control was used to design a new type reinforced concrete shear wall, the dual function slitted shear wall. Connectors are installed in vertical slits in the slitted shear wall to provide the dual function slitted shear ...

Glissile Interphase Boundaries Enable Collective Phase Switching in Epitaxial Polar Oxides

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A triple point is identified in the phase diagram of low‐symmetry epitaxial BiFeO3 thin film along with an extended regime of phase competition associated with a flattened energy landscape. The electromechanical response is shown to be governed by correlated interphase‐boundary motion, including scale‐free avalanche dynamics characteristic of systems ...

Rocking shear wall foundations in regions of moderate seismicity

open access: yes, 2009
<p>This paper presents an investigation to reduce the size of shear wall foundations for earthquake forces in region of moderate seismicity. The approach taken is to allow rocking of the shear wall foundation and to include the frame action of the ...

Artery‐on‐Chip Demonstrates Mechanical and Functional Features of Healthy and Diseased Living Smooth Muscle Tissue

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This article details the development of an artery‐on‐chip platform for in vitro arterial disease modeling and therapeutic discovery. It describes the fabrication of a fibrin biomaterial scaffold seeded with iPSC‐derived smooth muscle and endothelial cells, mimicking native artery properties. Two genetic disease models showcase the platform's ability to

Development of a Three‐Axis Planar Hall Magnetoresistance Sensor Using a Superparamagnetic Nanoparticle‐Based Flux Guide

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A printed superparamagnetic nanoparticle‐based flux guide enables the realization of a hysteresis‐free three‐axis magnetic sensor. This innovative architecture efficiently redirects out‐of‐plane fields to planar sensing elements, facilitating simultaneous vector detection without complex reset protocols.

Mesoscale Domain Evolution Mechanism during Alternating Current (AC) Poling of Relaxor Ferroelectrics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric domain variants that are energetically equivalent are expected to remain preserved during polarization reversal. However, phase‐field simulations reveal that inclined domain walls in relaxor ferroelectrics can undergo irreversible elimination during alternating current poling through a proximity effect driven by long‐range elastic ...

Examining the impact of sheet placement and changes in waves characteristics on behavior of wavy steel shear wall

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2018
Steel shear walls are usually constructed in two forms, solid and non-solid. Generally, the solid ones function better in terms of seismic performance and exploitation; however, their construction is costly and time-consuming due to the use of various ...
