Enhancing the Seismic Resilience of Masonry‐Infilled RC Structures Using Rubber Joints: Full‐Scale 3D Shaking Table Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

A Parametric Computational Framework for Modeling and Seismic Design of Post‐Tensioned Mass Timber Rocking Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) rocking walls offer a compelling seismic system combining self‐centering behavior with energy dissipation. However, progress in their performance assessment and design has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive parametric modeling tool, as exists for steel or reinforced concrete systems. This

Exact Computation of the Color Function for Triangular Element Interfaces

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
We propose a robust algorithm, the Front2VOF algorithm, to compute the color function for triangular element interfaces in Front‐Tracking methods on a Cartesian mesh. ABSTRACT The calculation of the volume enclosed by curved surfaces discretized into triangular elements and a cube is of great importance in different domains, such as computer graphics ...

High‐Order Projection‐Based Upwind Method for Simulation of Transitional Turbulent Flows

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
In this study, we evaluated the implicit large‐eddy simulation capabilities of the mass‐conserving mixed stress method for transitional turbulent flows and proposed an efficient solution method for large‐scale applications. The results presented in this work show promising outcomes for incompressible aerodynamic flow problems, which can be further ...

Wide‐range and high‐resolution Young's modulus sensing enabled by a complementary indentation‐protrusion architecture

FlexMat, EarlyView.
A tactile sensor integrating indentation and protrusion sensing within a single platform enables accurate perception of object Young's modulus. This complementary architecture expands the detectable Young's modulus range to 25.8–2639.2 kPa and achieves an object recognition accuracy of 94.27%, outperforming indentation‐only (84.59%) and protrusion‐only
