Dataset from shake-table testing of four full-scale URM walls in a two-way bending configuration subjected to combined out-of-plane horizontal and vertical excitation.

ABSTRACT: This data article provides experimental data obtained from the incremental dynamic shake-table testing of four single leaf unreinforced masonry (URM) walls constructed in Calcium Silicate (CS) bricks reported in "Two-way bending experimental response of URM walls subjected to combined horizontal and vertical seismic excitation" [1]. These walls were tested in the second phase of a larger experimental campaign addressing the out-of-plane (OOP) response of full-scale URM panels in two-way bending configurations at EUCENTRE, Pavia, Italy. Data corresponding to the first phase of testing for four single leaf and one cavity wall has already been made available through Tomassetti et al.[2] and the information necessary to interpret these results can be found in Graziotti et al.[3]. The walls of the tests reported in this data article were constructed in an intentionally weakened mortar but using the same Calcium Silicate (CS) bricks as Graziotti et al.[3]. The walls were also tested in boundary conditions that were not addressed in [3] and a specimen was also subjected to simultaneous horizontal OOP and vertical seismic excitation in one of the tests. Videos documenting the failure of specimens tested in both phases of the experimental campaign can be viewed online on YouTube [4].

Effects of aspect ratios and vertical loads on in-plane seismic behavior of unreinforced masonry walls: A numerical simulation.

Project description:The in-plane seismic behavior of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures is closely related to the aspect ratio of the wall and vertical load. The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference between the failure mode of the model and the horizontal load using the finite element model (FEM) under the action of aspect ratio (0.50 to 2.00) and vertical load (0.2 MPa to 0.70 MPa). The overall macro model was established using the Abaqus software, and the corresponding simulation was performed. The simulation results indicate that: i) the shear failure and flexural failure were the main failure modes of masonry walls; ii) shear failure could be viewed as the main failure mode of the model when the aspect ratio was less than 1.00; however, the flexural failure was considered to be the main failure mode of the model once the aspect ratio was greater than 1.00; iii) when a vertical load of 0.20 MPa was applied to the model, only flexural failure was observed, regardless of whether the aspect ratio of the model increased or decreased; the flexural shear mixed failure was captured within the range of 0.30 MPa- 0.50 MPa; the shear failure was the main failure mode within the range of 0.60 MPa- 0.70 MPa; and iv) the wall with an aspect ratio less than 1.00 could bear a higher horizontal load, and the increase in vertical load can significantly improve the horizontal load of the wall. In contrast, once the aspect ratio of the wall reaches or exceeds 1.00, the increase in the vertical load has little effect on the increase in the horizontal load of the wall.

Bending forces plastically deform growing bacterial cell walls.

Project description:Cell walls define a cell's shape in bacteria. The walls are rigid to resist large internal pressures, but remarkably plastic to adapt to a wide range of external forces and geometric constraints. Currently, it is unknown how bacteria maintain their shape. In this paper, we develop experimental and theoretical approaches and show that mechanical stresses regulate bacterial cell wall growth. By applying a precisely controllable hydrodynamic force to growing rod-shaped Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis cells, we demonstrate that the cells can exhibit two fundamentally different modes of deformation. The cells behave like elastic rods when subjected to transient forces, but deform plastically when significant cell wall synthesis occurs while the force is applied. The deformed cells always recover their shape. The experimental results are in quantitative agreement with the predictions of the theory of dislocation-mediated growth. In particular, we find that a single dimensionless parameter, which depends on a combination of independently measured physical properties of the cell, can describe the cell's responses under various experimental conditions. These findings provide insight into how living cells robustly maintain their shape under varying physical environments.

VCC-BPS: Vertical Collaborative Clustering using Bit Plane Slicing.

Project description:The vertical collaborative clustering aims to unravel the hidden structure of data (similarity) among different sites, which will help data owners to make a smart decision without sharing actual data. For example, various hospitals located in different regions want to investigate the structure of common disease among people of different populations to identify latent causes without sharing actual data with other hospitals. Similarly, a chain of regional educational institutions wants to evaluate their students' performance belonging to different regions based on common latent constructs. The available methods used for finding hidden structures are complicated and biased to perform collaboration in measuring similarity among multiple sites. This study proposes vertical collaborative clustering using a bit plane slicing approach (VCC-BPS), which is simple and unique with improved accuracy, manages collaboration among various data sites. The VCC-BPS transforms data from input space to code space, capturing maximum similarity locally and collaboratively at a particular bit plane. The findings of this study highlight the significance of those particular bits which fit the model in correctly classifying class labels locally and collaboratively. Thenceforth, the data owner appraises local and collaborative results to reach a better decision. The VCC-BPS is validated by Geyser, Skin and Iris datasets and its results are compared with the composite dataset. It is found that the VCC-BPS outperforms existing solutions with improved accuracy in term of purity and Davies-Boulding index to manage collaboration among different data sites. It also performs data compression by representing a large number of observations with a small number of data symbols.

Shaking Table Test of U-Shaped Walls Made of Fiber-Reinforced Foamed Concrete.

Project description:Fiber-reinforced foamed concrete (FRFC) is a lightweight material that has the potential to perform well in seismic applications due to its low density and improved mechanical properties. However, studies focused on the seismic assessment of this material are limited. In this work, U-shaped wall specimens, made of FRFC reinforced with henequen fibers and plain foamed concrete (PFC) with a density of 900 kg/m3, were subjected to shaking table tests. PFC and FRFC were characterized using compression and tension tests. FRFC exhibited enhanced mechanical properties, which were attributed to the fibers. The dynamic tests showed that U-shaped walls made of FRFC performed better than those made of PFC. The time period prior to the collapse of the FRFC U-shaped walls was longer than that of the PFC specimens, which was attributed to the enhanced specimen integrity by the fibers. Finite element simulations of the shaking table test allowed for the prediction of the stress concentration and plastic strain that may lead to the failure of the U-shaped wall. These results showed that U-shaped walls made of FRFC have the potential to perform well in seismic applications, however, these results are preliminary and further studies are needed to support the findings of this work.

Damage assessment of two-way bending RC slabs subjected to blast loadings.

Project description:Terrorist attacks on vulnerable structures and their individual structural members may cause considerable damage and loss of life. However, the research work on response and damage analysis of single structural components, for example, a slab to blast loadings, is limited in the literature and this is necessary for assessing its vulnerability. This study investigates the blast response and damage assessment of a two-way bending reinforced concrete (RC) slab subjected to blast loadings. Numerical modeling and analysis are carried out using the commercial finite element code LS-DYNA 971. A damage assessment criterion for the two-way bending RC slab is defined based on the original and residual uniformly distributed load-carrying capacity. Parametric studies are carried out to investigate the effects of explosive weight and explosive position on the damage mode of the two-way RC slab. Some design parameters, such as the boundary conditions and the negative reinforcement steel bar length, are also discussed. The illustrated results show that the proposed criterion can apply to all failure modes. The damage assessment results are more accurate than the ones due to the conventional deformation criterion.

Dataset from the dynamic shake-table test of a full-scale unreinforced clay-masonry building with flexible timber diaphragms.

Project description:This paper provides information related to the sensor measurements obtained from an unreinforced masonry building subjected to incremental dynamic shake-table tests at the EUCENTRE facilities in Pavia, Italy. These tests provide a unique data set that captures at full scale the in-plane and out-of-plane behavior of unreinforced masonry walls, and the influence of flexible diaphragms on the dynamic global response of a complete building. The authors made this information available to assist in the development of analytical and numerical models, necessary to estimate the dynamic response and the engineering parameters for the performance-based seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry buildings. All recorded data (acceleration and displacement time histories) and the videos of the tests can be requested online on the EUCENTRE repository at the URL www.eucentre.it/nam-project referring to EUC-BUILD-2. For further interpretation of the sensor recordings, and for a detailed discussion on the seismic performance of the building specimen, the reader is referred to the article entitled "Experimental seismic performance of a full-scale unreinforced clay-masonry building with flexible timber diaphragms" (Kallioras et al., 2018) [1].

Highly Robust Neutral Plane Oxide TFTs Withstanding 0.25?mm Bending Radius for Stretchable Electronics.

Project description:Advancements in thin-film transistor (TFT) technology have extended to electronics that can withstand extreme bending or even folding. Although the use of ultrathin plastic substrates has achieved considerable advancement towards this end, free-standing ultrathin plastics inevitably suffer from mechanical instability and are very difficult to handle during TFT fabrication. Here, in addition to the use of a 1.5??m-thick polyimide (PI) substrate, a 1.5??m-thick PI film is also deposited on top of the TFT devices to ensure that the devices are located at the neutral plane of the two PI films for high folding stability. For mechanical support during TFT fabrication up to the deposition of the top PI film, the PI substrate is spin coated on top of a carrier glass that is coated with a mixture of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene oxide (GO). The mixture of CNT and GO facilitates mechanical detachment of the neutral plane (NP) TFTs from the carrier glass before they are transferred to a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate as islands. Being located in the neutral bending plane, the NP TFT can be transferred to the PDMS without performance degradation and exhibit excellent mechanical stability after stretching the PDMS substrate up to a 25% elastic elongation.

Performance of TDDFT Vertical Excitation Energies of Core-Substituted Naphthalene Diimides.

Project description:We have evaluated the performance of various density functionals, covering generalized gradient approximation (GGA), global hybrid (GH) and range-separated hybrid (RSH), using time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) for computing vertical excitation energies against experimental absorption maximum (?max ) for a set of 10 different core-substituted naphthalene diimides (cNDI) recorded in dichloromethane. The computed excitation in case of GH PBE0 is most accurate while the trend is most systematic with RSH LCY-BLYP compared to ?max . We highlight the importance of including solvent effects for optimal agreement with the ?max . Increasing the basis set size from TZ2P to QZ4P has a negligible influence on the computed excitation energies. Notably, RSH CAMY-B3LYP gave the least error for charge-transfer excitation. The poorest agreement with ?max is obtained with semi-local GGA functionals. Use of the optimally-tuned RSH LCY-BLYP* is not recommended because of the high computational cost and marginal improvement in results.

Negatively Charged In-Plane and Out-Of-Plane Domain Walls with Oxygen-Vacancy Agglomerations in a Ca-Doped Bismuth-Ferrite Thin Film.

Project description:The interaction of oxygen vacancies and ferroelectric domain walls is of great scientific interest because it leads to different domain-structure behaviors. Here, we use high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy to study the ferroelectric domain structure and oxygen-vacancy ordering in a compressively strained Bi0.9Ca0.1FeO3-δ thin film. It was found that atomic plates, in which agglomerated oxygen vacancies are ordered, appear without any periodicity between the plates in out-of-plane and in-plane orientation. The oxygen non-stoichiometry with δ ≈ 1 in FeO2-δ planes is identical in both orientations and shows no preference. Within the plates, the oxygen vacancies form 1D channels in a pseudocubic [010] direction with a high number of vacancies that alternate with oxygen columns with few vacancies. These plates of oxygen vacancies always coincide with charged domain walls in a tail-to-tail configuration. Defects such as ordered oxygen vacancies are thereby known to lead to a pinning effect of the ferroelectric domain walls (causing application-critical aspects, such as fatigue mechanisms and countering of retention failure) and to have a critical influence on the domain-wall conductivity. Thus, intentional oxygen vacancy defect engineering could be useful for the design of multiferroic devices with advanced functionality.
