Two models were used for the evaluation of the seismic behavior of the selected typology, given different soil conditions and seismic hazard zones, as follows: (1) one without sacrificial shear keys, which has no transverse displacement restriction and (2) other with non-linear shear keys, which offers transverse constraint to displacement up to a maximum deformation of the sacrificial shear key.
For the 40-story structure, the optimally tuned TMDs are effective to reduce the critical displacement up to 25%.
Finally, by increasing the displacement up to 340 mm, the upper bars at the external connection of the transverse beam were fractured.
We report on the distinctly different mechanical responses of two vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) films, subjected to large displacement (up to 70 μm) flat punch indentations.
In response to 750 Hz stimuli, the SEP magnitude is positively correlated with the flagellar tip displacement up to 100 nm (Fig. 6B).
Because a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was low due to the low modulation frequency, we increased the maximum focus displacement up to 600 nm.

We explore these ideas using a least-squares inversion of teleseismic P-waves that yields surprisingly large fault displacements (up to ~60 m) at shallow depth under a protrusion of the upper plate into the trench.
Even under a relatively low DC driven voltage of 7 V, the actuator can achieve a bending displacement up to 28 mm, or a curvature up to 0.29 cm−1, which are greater than most of other electrothermal actuators reported.
