Three-dimensional advanced numerical approaches to the seismic soil and structural response analyses [PDF]

, 2016
A 3D non-linear finite element approach is developed to study the free-field seismic ground response and the soil-structure interaction (SSI) phenomena at the Lotung site (Taiwan) during the earthquake event occurred on May 20 1986.

A Simplified Computation of the Interactive Behavior between Soils and Framed Structures

Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2003
In common structural design practice, the foundation loads from structure analysis are obtained without allowance for soil settlements, and the foundation settlements are estimated under the assumption of a perfectly flexible structure.

Significance of foundation-soil separation in dynamic soil-structure interaction [PDF]

THe dynamic response of flexible surface strip-foundations allowed to uplift is numerically obtained for externally applied forces of a transient time variation. The soil medium is represented by an isotropic, homogeneous and linear half-space.

Plant and soil microbe responses to light, warming and nitrogen addition in a temperate forest [PDF]

, 2018
1. Temperate forests across Europe and eastern North America have become denser since the 1950s due to less intensive forest management and global environmental changes such as nitrogen deposition and climate warming. Denser tree canopies result in lower

Edible Pouch Motors

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Edible robotics is an emerging field that leverages edible materials to construct robotic systems. This study presents a method to create thin, lightweight, yet powerful edible soft actuators, namely edible pouch motors. The successful operation of these edible actuators and grippers renders their potential to advance future developments in edible ...

Inelastic Analysis of Soil-Structure Interaction System [PDF]

, 2005
Inelastic response of a framed structure is significantly different from the elastic response. Inelastic response can identify the possible locations of distress in a building as well as its failure mode.
