<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin-top:10px">The NHERI’s Network Coordination Office recently published a new collection of research articles in a book called <i><a href="https://www.designsafe-ci.org/community/nheri-impact-2020/" target="_blank">NHERI
Impact 2020</a></i>. The 70-page, illustrated work describes high-impact research projects made possible by our Experimental Facilities. The book features NSF-funded projects that mitigate structural and societal damage from earthquakes, hurricanes and windstorms,
storm surge, flooding and tsunami waves.</p>

<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin-top:10px">The use of hybrid simulation techniques has exploded recently. Researchers are advancing HS theory and practice with scenarios such as severe wind loading, coastal inundation and tsunami
loading, seismic-induced fires, thermo-mechanical loading, and even bio-mechanical systems. Researchers are examining approaches such as experimental design, machine learning, uncertainty quantification, nonlinear and adaptive control, decoding instabilities
and parallel computing.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin-top:10px">To provide easy access to published research in HS, the <a href="https://mechs.designsafe-ci.org/" target="_blank">NSF-funded Multi-Hazard Engineering Collaboratory for Hybrid Simulation</a><span> </span>virtual
community, called MECHS, is now compiling a list of publications in hybrid simulation. The MECHS Publication Library is searchable/sortable. It contains over 250 of the latest research papers from the community, and it is still growing. Each paper is linked
through its DOI to the source paper for easy access.</p>
