Vibration mitigation: New Force-Network based granular damping technology
Vibration damping plays a crucial role in enhancing human comfort, safety, and well-being across various aspects of daily life. In transportation, effective vibration damping in vehicles such as cars, trains, and airplanes can reduce the transmission of engine and road vibrations to passengers, minimising discomfort and fatigue during travel. One of the main challenges in developing new vibration-damping systems is […]

Predicting post-seismic liquefaction through geological response analysis
During liquefaction, solid sandy ground behaves like a liquid, posing a significant threat in earthquake-prone regions. Seismic waves cause water-saturated sandy sediments to flow, resulting in ground subsidence and flooding. To address gaps in our understanding, Prof Yukitake Shioi from the Hachinohe Institute of Technology in Japan applied a finite element method model to observations from the 1994 Far-Off Sanriku […]
