In recent years, significant research efforts have been dedicated to developing self-powered wireless sensors without the limit of battery lifetime, such that those sensors can be deployed to continuously monitor structural conditions and detect potential failures for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). In order to overcome the energy bound, a mechanism has recently been developed to harvest el...

Trapezoidal sheeting of thin-walled steel is applied frequently for roofing and cladding. As such, it is loaded by a concentrated load (at the support) and a bending moment. A recently developed model to predict the sheeting's failure behaviour leaves the question open whether mode jumping (the phenomenon where a plate dynamically changes its buckling mode during an increasing load) should be t...
