The present investigation focuses on the response of uncertain structures that are excited well beyond their linear regime so that significant nonlinear geometric effects take place.Such situations may occur due to the application of large mechanical loads but also, and especially, when the structure is part of a multiphysics problem, e.g., Plastic

In conservation tillage systems, at least 30% of the soil surface was covered by crop residues which generally contain significant amounts of nitrogen (N).However, little is known about the multi-seasonal recoveries of the N derived from these crop residues in soil-crop systems, notably in northeastern China.In a temperate agro-ecosystem, 15N-label
