Seismic fragility analysis is an efficient method to evaluate the structural failure probability
during earthquake events. Among the existing fragility analysis methods, the probabilistic …

Chloride-induced corrosion of marine reinforced concrete structures involves numerous
uncertainties related to environmental exposure zone. The exposure zone is strongly …

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) with rectangular coils in hairpin windings
exhibit improved fill factor and reduced end turn of the coils, which in turn improve the …

Designing a structure to resist earthquakes by targeting an explicit failure risk has been a
key research topic over the past two decades. In this article, a risk-targeted design approach …

Seismic analysis of structural systems often relies on numerical methods, such as the finite
element method, for dynamic response prediction. Establishing a high-fidelity numerical …

Seismic activities are serious disasters that induce natural hazards resulting in an
incalculable amount of damage to properties and millions of deaths. Typically, seismic risk …

The significance of the selective catalytic reduction system in vehicles increases in line with
the high standards of emission control and enhanced selective catalytic reduction efficiency …

Damage quantification in terms of engineering demand parameters (EDPs) is a critical
element of the performance-based design (PBD) approach. A widely used EDP for …

Catastrophic failures of partially or fully submerged structures, eg, offshore platforms,
hydrokinetic turbine blades, bridge decks, etc., due to the dynamic impact of free surface …

Curved multi-frame box-girder bridges with hinges are widely used in the United States due
