Machine learning models based on convolutional neural networks have been used for predicting space groups of crystal structures from their atomic pair distribution function (PDF). However, the PDFs to train model are calculated using a fixed set parameters that reflect specific experimental conditions, and accuracy when given generated with different choices these is unknown. In this paper, we ...

Muscle myosins transduce ATP free energy into actin displacement to power contraction. In vivo, myosin side chains are modified post-translationally under native conditions, potentially impacting function. Single myosin detection provides the 'bottom-up' myosin characterization probing basic mechanisms without ambiguities inherent to ensemble observation. Macroscopic muscle physiological experi...

The mechanical properties of biological tissue describe its behavior under pressure or force. These intrinsic tissue properties can often be related to function. For instance, the spine provides strength and structural support and the ribcage and skull offer protection for delicate internal organs such as the lungs and the brain. On a smaller scale, it has been shown that cells and tissues feel...

The Unreinforced Wall (URM) elements that are most susceptible to out-of-plane failure are wall elements of the upper storeys where the accelerations are largest. In modern URM buildings with reinforced concrete slabs, the out-of-plane mechanism involves typically a storey-high wall element, which is subjected at its base and top to the accelerations of the corresponding floor slabs. The accele...

The present study focuses on the estimation of response building structure supplemented with superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) damper under stochastic seismic excitation. To this end, has been determined using linearization method random earthquakes and control efficiency SMA is compared yield damper. As output, top floor root mean square (rms) acceleration displacement are presented here i...

A three-dimensional mixed variational principle is used to derive a Kth-order two-dimensional linear theory for an anisotropic homogeneous piezoelectric (PZT) plate. Themechanical displacements, the electric potential, the inplane components of the stress tensor, and the in-plane components of the electric displacement are expressed as a Ž nite series of orderK in the thickness coordinate by ta...

Abstract With the aim of investigating effect water depth on earthquake response a deep-water cable-stayed bridge tower, this study designed and manufactured large-scale tower model, taking across deep reservoir hydropower station as reference. Under boundary conditions similar to reference, shaking table tests were conducted reflect structural under white noise actions at different depths. The...

This paper presents measurement and analysis of the dynamic response of a five-story building to very-high frequency excitation (> 100 Hz) from blasting vibrations originating from a contiguous excavation of rock. Velocity response measurements, in the rock and on the structure, were employed to calculate time correlated dynamic displacement response of the building to blasting. Time correlated...

Direct displacement-based design is a nonlinear static procedure and has to check the suitability of method against different types ground motions namely far field, near field forward directivity fling step. The applied for buildings supported on fixed base hysteretic isolation bearings. Seismic isolators are provided between foundation superstructure minimize influence motion superstructure. f...
