Dissipative Shocks behind Bacteria Gliding

open access: yes, 2014
Gliding is a means of locomotion on rigid substrates utilized by a number of bacteria includingmyxobacteria and cyanobacteria. One of the hypotheses advanced to explain this motility mechanism hinges on the role played by the slime filaments continuously

The Catenary Line: Numerical Aspects and Solutions for Special Boundary Conditions

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 25, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The rope curve, or catenary, is a mechanical problem that has been solved since the 17th century. The hyperbolic cosine curve as its solution is the subject of many mechanics textbooks. Nevertheless, it is worth taking another look at the catenary because technical applications, for example, cable cars or suspension cables, have boundary ...

Fabrication of functional micro–nano structures using phase holographically modulated femtosecond laser technology: a review

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 14, Issue 19, Page 3095-3114, September 2025.
Abstract Micro–nano fabrication technology is critical to high‐end fabrication, bridging the gap between microscopic and macroscopic scales. Femtosecond laser fabrication, owing to its ultrafast nonlinear effects and three‐dimensional direct writing capabilities, has demonstrated unique advantages in the fabrication of functional micro–nano structures.

A Study on Nodal and Isogeometric Formulations for Nonlinear Dynamics of Shear‐ and Torsion‐Free Rods

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 16, 30 August 2025.
ABSTRACT In this work, we compare the nodal and isogeometric spatial discretization schemes for the nonlinear formulation of shear‐ and torsion‐free rods introduced in Gebhardt and Romero (see Reference no. 31). We investigate the resulting discrete solution space, the accuracy, and the computational cost of these spatial discretization schemes.

Cyclic and Explosive Evaluation of New Proposed Steel Joint

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2016
The behaviour of a novel steel beam-to-column connection, the saddlebag, subjected to cyclic and progressive collapse, was evaluated in this paper. The cyclic behaviour considered the interstory drift angle and flexural strength in accordance with 2010 ...

A geometrical non-linear model for cable systems analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Cable structures are commonly studied with simplified analytical equations. The evaluation of the accuracy of these equations, in terms of equilibrium geometry configuration and stress distribution was performed for standard cables examples.

An Exotic Approach to Hadron Physics

open access: yes, 2007
An exotic approach to hadrons is discussed. It is based on the recently developed open-closed string duality explicitly conjectured as the AdS/CFT correspondence. Mesons as well as pentaquarks are studied in this approach.

Wave energy converter with floating-point absorber and catenary mooring: dynamic coupling analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Mooring design for floating wave energy converters (WECs) is crucial for station maintaining, efficient power collection, and economic concerns. In order to study the dynamic response of the floating-point absorber under the coupling action of the ...
