Seismic performance of monolithic shear walls with disjointed steel bars in the northern Shaanxi by Jun Peng, Zhiqi Li, Hairen Wang, Xiangyu Li

“…The findings reveal that: Specimens transition from flexural-shear failure to shear-dominated failure as the shear-span ratio decreases; Increased shear-span ratio reduces load-bearing capacity while enhancing structural ductility; Wall thickness variations exhibit limited impact on performance, whereas openings reduce load capacity but improve ductility; Effective composite action between precast panels and cast-in-place boundary elements with intact vertical connections demonstrates superior seismic performance. …”

Mechanical Properties Regulation of Invar36 Alloy Metastructures Manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion by Jianyu Feng, Jialei Yan, Xiaoqiang Peng, Gening He, Ke Huang

“…Metastructures fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) have significantly broadened the application scope of Invar36 alloy, owing to their unique advantages such as lightweight design, high specific strength, and high specific stiffness. However, the structure–property coupling relationship in Invar-based metallic lattice structures remains insufficiently understood, which poses a major obstacle to their further engineering utilization. …”
