Abstract
Due to uncertainties stemming from climate change, natural and man-made disasters, and extreme events, unexpected disruptions in the operation of our countries’ infrastructure may put the functioning of our societies and their economies at risk [...]
Highlights
The results showed that Tempcore process simulator (TPS) can simulate the Tempcore process with a high degree of fidelity and reliability
The new insight that was gained from this study shows that neglection of the contribution of dynamic forces can result in the unsafe underestimation of train-turnout behaviors
The results showed that a notably higher fatigue reliability can be expected in the rib-to-deck joints in orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) that use thickened edge U-ribs (TEUs) rather than CUs, which in turn can lead to a notable improvement in fatigue life
Summary
Due to uncertainties stemming from climate change, natural and man-made disasters, and extreme events, unexpected disruptions in the operation of our countries’ infrastructure may put the functioning of our societies and their economies at risk Such disruptions may result from many kinds of hazards and physical and/or cyber-attacks on installations and systems [1]. New ideas and innovations for a comprehensive yet installationspecific approach are necessary to secure the integrity of existing or future, public or private, connected and interdependent assets, installations and infrastructure systems This special issue of ‘Extreme Sciences and Engineering’ enables the communication of the highest-quality research that highlights the role of mechanics, sciences and engineering in multi-disciplinary areas across materials science, physics, and engineering.
