Finite Element Modeling of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane Ball for Rolling Seismic Isolation

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 926-946, 10 April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Elastomeric‐Ball Pendulum (EBP) system, which consists of an elastomeric ball rolling on a spherical concrete surface, has been proposed as an isolation system for lightweight structures. Experimental tests have shown that the mechanics of such a rolling ball are remarkably complicated because the vertical load changes the shape of the ...

The use of continuum models for analyzing adobe structures [PDF]

, 2012
As it is known, the adobe structures have a high seismic vulnerability principally due to the low material strength and sometimes due to the inadequate structural configuration.

Arianna's Palette: A Diagnostic Study of the Painting Walls of the Domus of Arianna in Pompeii

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 261-273, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The House of Arianna, also known as the House of Colored Capitals, represents, with its 1700 m2 of floor space, one of the most majestic examples of a residence within the Pompeii archaeological site. The research developed within the project “Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Sustainable Society—CHANGES” reports the outcomes of the ...

The effect of masonry infill walls on the reinforced concrete frames behavior under lateral load [PDF]

, 2020
The reinforced concrete structures with masonry infill walls are widely used to construct buildings in Algeria, as in many parts of the world. According to earthquake analysis, this type of construction can undergo serious damage under seismic load.

Random excitation of a system with bilinear hysteresis [PDF]

, 1960
An analysis is made of the response of a system with bilinear hysteresis to random excitation. It is shown that for moderately large inputs, the additional damping created by the bilinear hysteresis decreases the mean squared deflection compared with ...

Excess Weight Among Adults Living in the Coastal Brazilian Amazon: Prevalence, Determinants, and Interventions

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Excess weight is a global public health issue related to the accumulation of body fat and can be caused by various factors. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of excess weight among adults living in a coastal area of the Brazilian Amazon. Methods.
