Curvature Potential Unveiled Topological Defect Attractors

open access: yesCrystals, 2021
We consider the theoretical and positional assembling of topological defects (TDs) in effectively two-dimensional nematic liquid crystal films. We use a phenomenological Helfrich–Landau–de Gennes-type mesoscopic model in which geometric shapes and ...

A Workflow to Accelerate Microstructure‐Sensitive Fatigue Life Predictions

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a workflow to accelerate predictions of microstructure‐sensitive fatigue life. Results from frameworks with varying levels of simplification are benchmarked against published reference results. The analysis reveals a trade‐off between accuracy and model complexity, offering researchers a practical guide for selecting the optimal ...

Semiconformal curvature tensor and perfect fluid spacetimes in general relativity

open access: yesJournal of Taibah University for Science, 2020
The semiconformal curvature tensor and its divergence have been studied for perfect fluid spacetimes. It is seen, apart from other results, that the perfect fluid spacetimes with divergence-free semiconformal curvature tensor either satisfy the vacuum ...

A Numerical–Experimental Approach for Multi‐Matrix Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Characterization Using Finite Element Model Updating

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.

Near‐Field Electrospinning Micro‐Printhead Achieves Precise Control of Nanofiber Deposition

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A micro‐printhead for near‐field electrospinning enables reproducible deposition of polymer nanofibers with diameters below 50 nm. Systematic parameter studies uncover the mechanisms linking operating conditions to fiber morphology, paving the way for precise and low‐cost nanoscale 3D manufacturing.As a high‐resolution, cost‐effective, and rapid ...

Geometric Theory of Equiaffine Curvature Tensors [PDF]

open access: yesResults in Mathematics, 2009
We present an algebraic investigation of generalized and equiaffine curvature tensors in a given pseudo-Euclidean vector space and study different orthogonal, irreducible decompositions in analogy to the known decomposition of algebraic curvature tensors.

The W2-curvature tensor on warped product manifolds and applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The purpose of this paper is to study the W2-curvature tensor on (singly) warped product manifolds as well as on generalized Robertson-Walker and standard static space-times.

QUASI-CONFORMAL CURVATURE TENSOR OF GENERALIZED SASAKIAN-SPACE-FORMS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The present paper deals the study of generalised Sasakian-space-forms with the conditions Cq(ξ,X).S = 0, Cq(ξ,X).R = 0 and Cq(ξ,X).Cq = 0, where R, S and Cq denote Riemannian curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and quasi-conformal curvature tensor of the ...

Evaluating Energy Absorption Performance of Filled Lattice Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Maximum stress must be considered to robustly evaluate energy absorber designs. This approach was applied to compare all types of absorbers in a single Ashby diagram and determine the utility of filling lattice voids with a second material. High‐performance fillers can improve the performance of lattices that are limited by buckling or catastrophic ...
