An efficient methodology to estimate probabilistic seismic damage curves [PDF]
, 2019 The incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is a powerful methodology that can be easily extended for calculating probabilistic seismic damage curves. These curves are metadata to assess the seismic risk of structures.

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.This paper proposes two projector‐based Hopfield neural network (HNN) estimators for online, constrained parameter estimation under time‐varying data, additive disturbances, and slowly drifting physical parameters. The first is a constraint‐aware HNN that enforces linear equalities and inequalities (via slack neurons) and continuously tracks the ...

Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2020 This study investigates the tension-tension fatigue behaviour of glass/epoxy quasi-isotropic laminates. Constant amplitude tension-tension fatigue tests were performed at different stress level at a stress ratio, R = 0.1 and at a frequency of 3 Hz.

Matrix cracking in polymeric composites laminates: Modelling and experiments [PDF]
, 2007 Composites ability to retain functionality in the presence of damage is a crucial safety and economic issue. Generally the first damage mode in composite laminates is matrix cracking, which affects the mechanical properties of the structure long before ...

Numerical model to account for the influence of infill masonry on the RC structures behaviour [PDF]
, 2005 It is a common misconception considers that masonry infill walls in structural RC buildings can only increase the overall lateral load capacity, and, therefore, must always be considered beneficial to seismic performance.

An Overview of Progressive Collapse Behavior of Steel Beam-to-Column Connections
Applied Sciences, 2020 Local failure of one or more components due to abnormal loading can induce the progressive collapse of a building structure. In this study, by the aid of available full-scale test results on double-span systems subjected to the middle column loss ...
