Multidimensional technical performance in the 2024 Paris Olympic Women’s Basketball Tournament: an entropy−weighted rank−sum ratio evaluation with a USA–France final case analysis

Elite women’s basketball performance is multidimensional, yet transparent tournament−level approaches for integrating heterogeneous technical indicators remain limited. This study applied an entropy−weighted rank−sum ratio (WRSR) framework to the 2024 Paris Olympic Women’s Basket...

Eccentric compressive behaviour of horizontal circumferential joints in concrete wind turbine towers considering joint opening

Horizontal circumferential joints are critical load-transfer regions in the concrete segments of steel–concrete hybrid wind turbine towers. However, existing studies and design methods generally treat the annular concrete section as a continuous member and do not explicitly consi...
