Impact of structural degradation on the seismic resilience of self-built housing: an approach based on intelligent circular resilience

https://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri?eid=2-s2.0-105005465306&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&sid=cf3b523d69a72d0e03b53b7ae3ee54bf&sot=aff&sdt=a&s=AF-ID%2860190271%29&sl=15&sessionSearchId=cf3b523d69a72d0e03b53b7ae3ee54bf Abstract Self-built housing systems within seismic regions reveal critical deficiencies in structural performance and safety, as these buildings frequently do not meet construction standards, leading to heightened vulnerability during earthquakes. This study evaluates the structural functionality degradation over time and its impact on seismic resilience. A four-step methodology was implemented, comprising: (1) visual inspection, […]

Field-induced particle dispersion in extremely bidisperse magnetorheological fluids

https://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri?eid=2-s2.0-86000756497&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&sid=cf3b523d69a72d0e03b53b7ae3ee54bf&sot=aff&sdt=a&s=AF-ID%2860190271%29&sl=15&sessionSearchId=cf3b523d69a72d0e03b53b7ae3ee54bf&relpos=1 Abstract Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) are smart materials with controllable microstructural and mechanical properties, which are of interest for the fabrication of high-performance viscous dampers, energy dissipators, and fast response actuators. Despite their promising applications, achieving a stable, reversible, and homogeneous magnetic suspension remains a challenge due to the dipole–dipole interaction and high mass density […]
