Collapsed Debris Distribution of RC Frame Structures Under Earthquake Excitation and Secondary Effects
The debris of earthquake-induced structure collapse can block roads and hinder rescue. Besides, the surge of casualties due to structure collapse is a challenge for hospitals to operate efficiently after the e...

Buckling Analysis of Nanoplates Incorporating Surface Stress Effects
Nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS) are miniaturized structures with nanometer length scaled features. In such structures, due to the fewer neighbouring surface atoms, the top and bottom layers of a nanoplat...
