Stochastic Damage Constitutive Relationship of Steel-Reinforced Concrete Bond-Slip by Ming Xie, Jiahao Liu, Peng Wang, Zi Wang, Jingjing Zhou

“…The bond-slip damage of the interface between profile steel and concrete is the key point of steel-reinforced concrete structure. This paper is based on the statistical analysis of a large amount of experimental data and the distribution characteristics of bonding stress on the bonding surface of the profile steel and concrete, and the conversion rules between the three parts (chemical bonding force, frictional resistance, and mechanical interaction) of the bond force are obtained. …”

Circuit-QED for Multi-Loop Fluxonium-Type Qubits by Larisa-Milena Pioraş-Ţimbolmaş, Levente Máthé, Liviu P. Zârbo

“…To understand and exploit their quantum properties and design novel fluxonium-based architectures with improved functionalities, these systems require an accurate Hamiltonian formulation to capture their energy level structure and quantum dynamics. This work presents a systematic method for constructing the Hamiltonian for multi-loop circuits that partitions the system into a set of uncoupled harmonic oscillators and a coupled anharmonic part originating from the Josephson circuit elements, allowing clear identification of independent modes and isolating the nonlinearity in the Josephson terms. …”
