Toughness of Confined Auxetic Foams

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Auxetic (negative Poisson's ratio) materials offer benefits such as impact mitigation, thermal insulation, vibration damping, and reduced shear strain, although their fracture mechanics are largely unexplored. This study investigates damage initiation and propagation in confined re‐entrant auxetic foams from polyurethane via experimental ...

Nonstationary models for liquid crystals: A fresh mathematical perspective

open access: yes, 2017
In this article we discuss nonstationary models for inhomogeneous liquid crystals driven out of equilibrium by flow. Emphasis is put on those models which are used in the mathematics as well as in the physics literature, the overall goal being to ...

A Simulative Evaluation of Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Structures in the Context of Elastocaloric Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simulative evaluation of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures for an elastocaloric application under compressive load is performed. For the evaluation of the structure's performance, surface/volume ratio, generated heat and invested mechanical work are taken into account and are compared to a tube as a reference specimen.

Debunking Myths about Gender and Mathematics Performance

open access: yes, 2012
G ender differences in mathematics participation rate, mean and high-end performance, and variance in distribution of performance have been reported on numerous occasions. The reasons for these findings have been the subject of much debate.

Internal Temperature Evolution Metrology and Analytics in Li‐Ion Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the non‐linear evolution of internal temperatures across diverse operating conditions, highlighting the disparities between internal and external measurements and the resulting thermal asymmetries. The coupled thermo‐electrochemical modeling framework provides a comprehensive analysis of various heat generation modes, examining ...

Permuting operations on strings and the distribution of their prime numbers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Several ways of interleaving, as studied in theoretical computer science, and some subjects from mathematics can be modeled by length-preserving operations on strings, that only permute the symbol positions in strings. Each such operation X gives rise to
