Based on the ori-kirigami cell of a Waterbomb cellular metamaterial, we investigate the effects of the design parameters of the connecting materials on the initial peak force, specific energy absorption (SEA), and negative stiffness properties through quasi-static compression tests and numerical simulations. Moreover, we propose structural scaling laws to predict the mechanical properties of this ori-kirigami cell based on dimensional analysis. The results show that the connecting materials can influence the SEA and the initial peak force. This tuning method can also influence the negative stiffness characteristics of the ori-kirigami cell. On the other hand, the initial peak force and energy absorption predicted by the scaling laws agree well with the simulation results, verifying the correctness of the similarity laws. This work makes origami cellular metamaterials with stronger mechanical adaptability, making them suitable for various engineering fields such as energy absorption and protection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48642,"journal":{"name":"Structures","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 108658"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143684257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to other seismic isolation devices, HDR bearings have a simpler structure, are easier to install, and offer significant advantages in terms of maintenance and cost. However, the hysteretic behavior of HDR bearings is highly dependent on the maximum experienced strain and the hardening phenomenon, and their nonlinearity is pronounced. This study conducted experimental investigations into the actual behavior of HDR bearings based on characteristic validation test and evaluated their mechanical properties with respect to nonlinear hysteretic characteristics. From the experimental results, a model incorporating the maximum strain dependence and hardening phenomenon of HDR bearings was developed, and a new design model named the Double-Target model was proposed. The proposed hysteresis model accounts for the nonlinear hysteretic behavior of HDR bearings and can independently reproduce the responses in the positive and negative directions. Finally, the experimental results of the characteristic validation test were reproduced using the proposed hysteresis model, and seismic response analyses were conducted on the piers of an actual seismically isolated bridge to validate the model.

This study addresses this gap by investigating the behavior of MR dampers in preventing progressive collapse in asymmetric, inelastic reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures subjected to explosion loading. To this end, three MR-damper-equipped concrete moment frame structures (with 4, 8, and 12 stories) featuring re-entrant corners are modeled using nonlinear fiber elements in OPENSEES. A robustness analysis of a supervisory nonlinear adaptive semi-active control strategy, developed in prior studies, is conducted to enhance the resilience of these structures under pulse-like seismic motions, blast loading, and progressive collapse, while also considering potential inelastic responses due to multiple natural hazards. The results show that MR dampers, originally designed for seismic loads, are also effective in mitigating structural responses to explosions, achieving up to an 80 % reduction in inter-story drifts. Furthermore, the new control strategy improves building resilience to progressive collapse under explosion scenarios, enhancing structural integrity by 10–80 % across various column removal scenarios.

To improve this capacity, this study introduced functionally graded concrete flexural members (FGCFMs) with ductile failure modes and multiple plastic regions. In FGCFMs, a graded distribution of the flexural strength is achieved by incorporating a graded hybrid reinforcement of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and steel. Multiple plastic regions can develop when the graded distribution of the flexural strength aligns with the external moment. Pushover tests validated the formation of these plastic regions, showing an increase in deformability of up to 147 %, an improvement in ductility of 51.8 %, and an energy dissipation performance of 314 % compared with conventional reinforced concrete flexural members. The tests revealed two failure modes of the specimens. Specifically, when failure occurred in the grade reinforced only with steel bars, the specimen failed in the ductile mode. However, in the grade reinforced with steel and FRP bars, the failure mode was predominantly brittle. The tests revealed that the key factors leading to the formation of multiple plastic regions were the alignment between the flexural strength of the sections and the external moment, as well as the significant increase in flexural strength provided by the FRP bars after the steel bars yielded. A comprehensive parametric analysis further examined the impact of the grade height on the overall deformation capacity and development of multiple plastic regions. Optimal deformability in the FGCFMs was achieved when the grade height reached specific threshold values, effectively balancing the flexural strength with the external moment and resulting in large displacements and a ductile failure mode.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48642,"journal":{"name":"Structures","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 108679"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143684362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research results demonstrated that the primary failure mode of the L-shaped composite specimens was overall bending failure. The incorporation of high-strength grouting material (HGM) significantly enhanced the ultimate bearing capacity, with improvements ranging from 65.2 % to 104.3 %. The horizontal deflection development curve during loading exhibited a characteristic half-sine wave distribution. During the initial loading phase, the entire cross-section was under compression. A three-dimensional numerical model was established using the finite element software ABAQUS to simulate the nonlinear behavior of the composite specimens. The validated numerical model revealed the failure mechanism of the L-shaped composite specimens under eccentric compression. Finally, based on parameter analysis, a calculation method was proposed to predict the eccentric bearing capacity of L-shaped HGMFSST composite specimens. The eccentric bearing capacity of the specimens was predicted using the proposed method and existing design codes. The comparative results showed that the average and standard deviations of the ratio between the calculated results from the proposed method and the experimental values were 0.916 and 0.049, respectively.
