ABSTRACT We compare two algorithms to simulate the propagation, arrest, recession, and closure of a planar hydraulic fracture, focusing on their ability to capture the physical processes governing fracture recession and closure. The first algorithm is based on a fixed grid with contact detection during recession, while the second is based on a moving ...

Dynamics of Downdrafts Around a Growing Convective Cloud: A Numerical Study
Abstract We examine the dynamics of cloud‐edge downdrafts over the growth phase of isolated cumuli, combining Eulerian and Lagrangian analyses. As in previous studies, our results show that growing cumuli are surrounded by downdrafts linked to cloud‐scale quasi‐toroidal circulations at all times at middle and upper cloud levels consistent with the ...

Abstract The morphology of fresh lunar craters provides important clues about how craters of different sizes form, and is used as a baseline for understanding how craters evolve over time. Topographic spectral analysis is a powerful tool for studying the morphology of lunar craters, as it can quantify the scale‐dependent topographic variation of ...

We present NAOMI/OASIS adaptive-optics assisted integral-field spectroscopy of the transitional massive hypergiant IRC +10420, an extreme mass-losing star apparently in the process of evolving from a Red Supergiant toward the Wolf-Rayet phase.

A machine learning‐driven framework is introduced to optimize 3D‐printable microneedles for enhanced tissue anchoring and reduced insertion damage. The optimized design achieves a 6.0‐fold improvement in pull‐out‐to‐penetration energy ratio over conventional shapes.

The dielectric elastomer‐based electropneumatic device (DE‐EPD) is a vacuum‐assisted ventricular assist device (VAD) that delivers high performance (85 mmHg, 6.8 L min−1) with low power consumption. Unlike traditional motor‐driven VADs, it is lightweight, quiet, energy‐efficient, and provides pulsatile flow. Validated in a simulated circulation system,

Pick‐and‐Place Grippers with Tunable Adhesion from Capped Soft Hollow Pillar Structure
Mushroom‐shaped soft hollow pillars (SHPs) with a mushroom cap, or capped SHPs (C‐SHPs) are introduced for improved tunable adhesion under pneumatic actuation. The mushroom cap optimizes stress distribution and alters crack initiation on the contact interface, leading to significantly improved adhesion strength and tunability.
