Heat and mass transfer dynamics in curved Ш-Chip: ISPH simulations and ANN analysis
Case Studies in Thermal EngineeringThis research investigates heat and mass transfer behavior in nano-enhanced phase change materials (NEPCM) within reactive systems using incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) coupled with artificial neural network (ANN) predictions.

Morphology and phylogeny of two new species of deep-sea mushroom soft corals (Octocorallia, Corallidae, Anthomastinae) from the Southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge [PDF]
Zoosystematics and EvolutionMembers of the subfamily Anthomastinae Verrill, 1922, commonly known as mushroom soft corals, are characterized by their capitate or mushroom-shaped red colonies and large autozooids. Deep-sea mushroom corals of this subfamily remain poorly documented in

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Asymptotic behavior of structures made of curved rods [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of a structure made of curved rods of thickness 2δ when δ → 0. This study is carried on within the frame of linear elasticity by using the unfolding method.

Experimental investigation of the flow-induced vibration of a curved circular cylinder [PDF]
, 2012 Experiments have been conducted to investigate the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) response of a rigid section of a curved circular cylinder. Two curved configurations, a concave and a convex, were tested regarding the direction of the flow, in addition ...

Couple stress theory of curved rods. 2-D, high order, Timoshenko’s and Euler-Bernoulli models
Curved and Layered Structures, 2017 New models for plane curved rods based on linear couple stress theory of elasticity have been developed.2-D theory is developed from general 2-D equations of linear couple stress elasticity using a special curvilinear system of coordinates related to the

Load Distributing Metamaterials Via Discrete Optimization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Mechanical metamaterials are computationally optimized to homogenize transmitted forces by minimizing the spread of reaction forces. The resulting architectures transform localized loading into broader, more uniform force distributions and experimentally demonstrate robust load spreading under quasi‐static and impact loading.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A sequential dual‐alignment strategy independently programs the orientation of conductive metal‐organic framework (c‐MOF) microrods and liquid crystals within a composite film. This approach creates an asymmetric bilayer structure that enables precise, multi‐responsive actuation.
