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.

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Effects of Soil-Foundation-Bridge Interaction Subjected to Spatially Varying Earthquake Ground Motion [PDF]

, 2013
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate stochastic responses of a cable-stayed bridge which is built on the Mississippi River in 1987 in USA, subjected to the spatially varying earthquake ground motion by using the finite element method ...

Numerical evaluation of the pipe-pile buckling during vibratory driving in sand [PDF]

, 2019
The buckling of steel pipe piles during vibratory driving is numerically studied using the Multi-Material Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (MMALE) method. This method handles the large soil deformations that occur during pile driving and other geotechnical ...

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A simulation‐driven framework for autonomous bulldozer leveling is presented, combining high‐fidelity terramechanics simulation with a neural‐network‐based reduced‐order model. Gradient‐based optimization enables efficient, low‐level blade control that balances leveling quality and operation time.

Influence of Higher Modes on Strength and Ductility Demands of Soil-Structure Systems [PDF]

, 2016
Due to the inherent complexity, the common approach in analysing nonlinear response of structures with soil-structure interaction (SSI) in current seismic provisions is based on equivalent SDOF systems (E-SDOF).
