Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Pile foundations of offshore structures are often subjected to cyclic loads under storm loads, thus reducing their vertical bearing capacity. Therefore, studying the cyclic shear behavior of the soil–structure interface is important for maintaining the ...

Barrio morphology and private space: the social drivers of informal urban settlements in Caracas [PDF]
, 2021 Urban morphology has historically been studied through the physical characteristics of a particular space. However, the urban form of a place is also influenced by relationships and social contexts.

Unsettled Urban Space: Routines, Temporalities and Contestations [PDF]
, 2022 While urban life can be characterized by endeavors to settle stable and safe environments, for many people, urban space is rarely stable or safe; it is uncertain, troubled, imbued with challenges and perpetually under pressure.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

From urban space to urban history—an introduction
, 2020 While interest in urban space in the Roman world has boomed in recent decades, the debate has developed a strong emphasis on conceptual innovation, and this has limited the sensitivity of current discourse to historical change, so that debates about Roman urban space and Roman urban history have been developing without much interaction.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Mechanically origami‐coded 3D kirigami photovoltaics convert a single extension–release cycle into deterministic self‐folding, reconfiguring planar solar cells into programmable 3D modules. Distinct coding strategies enable either ultrahigh stretchability (500% system strain) or ultrahigh initial effective areal coverage (225%).

Cyclic constitutive equations of rock with coupled damage induced by compaction and cracking
International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2022 In this paper, the cyclic constitutive equations were proposed to describe the constitutive behavior of cyclic loading and unloading. Firstly, a coupled damage variable was derived, which contains two parts, i.e., the compaction-induced damage and the ...

, 2023 This entry offers some reflections on memory activism, with particular attention to ideological and structural transformation in cities, and changes in the way historical consciousness has been practically articulated in contemporary urban society. Studying urban memory activism offers a method to attain a more complex picture of the diverse agents in ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
