, 2010 What is the longest rope on the unit sphere? Intuition tells us that the answer to this packing problem depends on the rope's thickness. For a countably infinite number of prescribed thickness values we construct and classify all solution curves.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Elastic curves and phase transitions [PDF]
Mathematische Annalen, 2019 This paper is devoted to classical variational problems for planar elastic curves of clamped endpoints, so-called Euler's elastica problem. We investigate a straightening limit that means enlarging the distance of the endpoints, and obtain several new results concerning properties of least energy solutions.

Trapped modes in curved elastic plates [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2005 We investigate the existence of trapped modes in elastic plates of constant thickness, which possess bends of arbitrary curvature and flatten out at infinity; such trapped modes consist of finite energy localized in regions of maximal curvature. We present both an asymptotic model and numerical evidence to demonstrate the trapping.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study explores the lightweight potential of laser additive‐manufactured NiTi triply periodic minimal surface sheet lattices. It systematically investigates the effects of relative density and unit cell size on surface quality, deformation recovery, compression behavior, and energy absorption.

Living materials such as membranes, cytoskeletal assemblies, cell collectives and tissues can often be described as active solids -- materials that are energized from within, with elastic response about a well defined reference configuration. These materials often live in complex and curved manifolds, yet most descriptions of active solids are flat ...

Lectures on Elastic Curves and Rods [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008 These five lectures constitute a tutorial on the Euler elastica and the Kirchhoff elastic rod. We consider the classical variational problem in Euclidean space and its generalization to Riemannian manifolds. We describe both the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian formulation of the rod, with the goal of examining the (Liouville‐Arnol'd) integrability.

A Workflow to Accelerate Microstructure‐Sensitive Fatigue Life Predictions
Advanced 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 ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study examines how several molten high‐silicon electrical steels interact with both conventional and recycled MgO–C refractories. For this, various immersion experiments are conducted. In addition to infiltration, a number of mechanisms are identified and explained that control the corrosion of the refractory material.
