Drawing from an unprecedented corpus of contemporary Scottis…
This Special Issue was created to collect the most recent and novel research on seismic performance evaluation of building structures. This issue includes three important topics on seismic engineering for building structures: (1) seismic design and performance evaluation, (2) structural dynamics, and (3) seismic hazard and risk analysis. To protect building structures from earthquakes, it is ne…
The investigation of new memory schemes, neural networks, computer systems and many other improved electronic devices is very important for future generations of electronic circuits and for their widespread application in all the areas of industry. Relatedly, the analysis of new efficient and advanced electronic elements and circuits is an essential field of highly developed electrical and elec…
This reprint presents a collection of contributions on the application of high-performing computational strategies and enhanced theoretical formulations to solve a wide variety of linear or nonlinear problems in a multiphysical sense, together with different experimental studies.
