Comparisons of implicit and explicit time integration methods in finite element analysis for linear elastic material and quasi-brittle material in dynamic problems

In finite element analysis, nonlinear time-history analysis is a realistic and accurate analysis type for dynamic or seismic analysis due to its solutions contain wealthy data and complete response time-history. The most commonly used method, probably the only practical procedure, in nonlinear time-history analysis is the direct time integration...

Resilient me for tomorrow: Towards socio-resilient regeneration of urban village in Guangzhou

This project is an attempt to search for an alternative regeneration approach of urban villages under the huge redevelopment pressure in Guangzhou. The past lessons we learned from the monotonous urban paradigm of housing commodities, has shown the emerging gaps between rich and poor, between traditional and modern, between migrants and citizens...
