recently, two of the authors have introduced the collapse capacity spectrummethodology, which allows the assessment of the collapse capacity of highly inelastic p-deltasensitive regular frame structures without performing non-linear time-history analyses. the mainingredient of this method is the collapse capacity spectrum, which represents the seismic collapsecapacity of an inelastic non-deteri...

The uplift behavior of structures subjected to severe seismic motion has not been clarified. This paper presents experimental and analytical studies conducted for clarifying this problem of spread foundation structures on rock. First, centrifugal loading tests are conducted to determine the uplift behavior of these structures, and the uplift behavior of these structures is confirmed. Then, simu...

Electron field emission experiments of carbon nanotubes (CNT) show that due to heat CNTs breakdown faster under applied voltage than expected. Therefore, different systems with varying temperature distributions are considered analytically and numerically by use the conduction equation. This methodology yields a phenomenological understanding description thermoelectric behavior
