Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1467-1487, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Vertical‐Component Seismic Response and System Identification of a 52‐Story High‐Rise Building Using Earthquake Data

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study investigates the vertical dynamic response of a 52‐story high‐rise building in downtown Los Angeles using small‐magnitude earthquake data recorded by the Community Seismic Network. While seismic design traditionally emphasizes horizontal ground motion, vertical accelerations can have a significant impact on tall structures, leading to ...

Micro‐Texturized and Ultra‐Soft Dry Electrode for Motion‐Artifact Tolerant and Long‐Term Stable Wearable Electrophysiological Monitoring

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 27, 14 May 2026.
A highly conformal and adhesive dry electrode is developed using a micro‐textured carbon black/PDMS composite. By leveraging spontaneous surface roughness for enhanced mechanical interlocking and integrating a stretchable serpentine interconnector, the device achieves robust skin contact and low impedance.

Anisotropic Permeability Pathways Controlled by Intraslab Stress Heterogeneity in the Philippine Sea Slab Beneath the Ryukyu Arc

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Intermediate‐depth intraslab earthquakes in the Philippine Sea Plate occur at depths of 100–200 km beneath the Ryukyu Arc and are widely interpreted as manifestations of slab dehydration; however, the spatial variability in continuity of the volcanic front and the asymmetric distribution of volcanic activity are poorly explained by existing ...

How Does Heterogeneity Control Strain Localization Patterns in High‐Porosity Rocks?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We aim to explore how heterogeneous porosity and grain size contribute to strain localization patterns in highly porous rocks based on phase‐field simulations. The strain localization patterns, including shear bands, dilatation bands, and compaction bands, are commonly observed in geological field studies and laboratory experiments.
