An investigation of overturning moments of portal frames at elevated temperatures

open access: yes, 2009
In the UK, single-storey steel buildings account for over half of the constructional steelwork due to its ease of fabrication and cost-efficiency. The most common of these are portal frames.

Receptor‐Free Identification of Toxic Gases Enabled by Hygroscopic Aqueous Salt Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Water as a gas sensor coating sounds impossible—until it stops evaporating. Here, hygroscopic salt solutions (LiCl, LiBr, H3PO4) form non‐drying aqueous films on CNT chemiresistors under ambient air. Gases partition into these liquid layers, sometimes transforming into water, and generate salt‐specific resistance fingerprints across a four‐channel ...

Geometric nonlinear vibration analysis of steel frames with semi-rigid connections and rigid-zones

open access: yesVietnam Journal of Mechanics, 2003
To obtain an accurate insight into the behavior of the most realistic steel frames, joint flexibility should be allowed for in the analysis. So far, most research work is concentrated on the linear and geometric nonlinear static analysis of steel frames

Multimodal Soft Surgical Robots Enabled by Eco‐Degradable, Sterilizable Polymers and Transient Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A compostable PGS soft surgical robot with interchangeable modules integrates transient Mo tactile and Si thermal sensors for dual feedback. The device preserves its function after clinical‐grade sterilization, demonstrates stable actuation and cardiac tissue grasping with real‐time in vivo pulsatile monitoring, and biodegrades post‐use with soil‐safe,

Design of Cold-formed Steel Wall Frames Lined with Plasterboard on One Side under Axial Compression

open access: yes, 2006
Cold-formed steel wall frame systems are commonly made of lipped or unlipped (plain) C-section studs with Gypsum plasterboard lining and are used in the construction of both the load bearing and non-load bearing walls in residential, industrial and ...

Semi-Active Control of Post-tensioned Steel Frames [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
After the Northridge 1994 earthquake it was found that failures in steel frame buildings were mainly concentrated in beam-column connections. This prompted researchers to work on improvements, mainly focussed on increasing the rotational ductility ...

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.

Transfer Printing and Reconfiguration of Soft Electronics Using Digital Microfluidics and Laser Machining

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This paper presents a digital microfluidics‐based technique for transferring and reconfiguring soft nanomembranes. Laser‐machined nanothin membranes are picked up, transported, and aligned via tailored surface tension and the actuation of water droplets, enabling the development of flexible electronics, the integration of functional materials on 3D ...

Dynamic behavior of steel frames: influence of material yielding and hysteretic damping mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yesREM: International Engineering Journal
Recent research has increasingly focused on the inelastic behavior of steel frames under severe dynamic forces, which can lead to plastic deformation, damage accumulation, and potential collapse.
