Mechanisms of De‐icing by Surface Rayleigh and Plate Lamb Acoustic Waves

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ice accretion impacts daily life, renewable energy generation, maintenance, and security in industries and aeronautics. Acoustic waves (AW) are a promising method for ice removal, although de‐icing mechanisms require further investigation to optimize energy efficiency.

Elastic Deformation of Polycrystals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We propose a framework to model elastic properties of polycrystals by coupling crystal orientational degrees of freedom with elastic strains. Our model encodes crystal symmetries and takes into account explicitly the strain compatibility induced long-range interaction between grains.

GENERALIZATION OF THE PRODUCTION FUNCTION OF COBB-DOUGLAS TYPE

open access: yesUSV Annals of Economics and Public Administration, 2021
The purpose of this paper is to generalize the operation of Cobb-Douglas type production, thus achieving the interdependence between the resources used and the manufacturing factors in the production process.

An Assessment of Factors Affecting Population Growth of the Mountain Plover

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2010
Effective conservation measures should target the most sensitive life history attributes of a species, assuming they are responsive to potential management actions.

Analysis of Temperature and Stress Distribution on the Bond Properties of Hybrid Tailored Formed Components

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Hybrid materials enable high‐performance components but are challenging to process. This study explores an inductive heating concept with spray cooling for steel–aluminum specimens in a two‐step process including friction welding and cup backward extrusion.

Experimental migration upward in elevation is associated with strong selection on life history traits

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
One of the strongest biological impacts of climate change has been the movement of species poleward and upward in elevation. Yet, what is not clear is the extent to which the spatial distribution of locally adapted lineages and ecologically important ...

Advances in Hybrid Icing and Frosting Protection Strategies for Optics, Lens, and Photonics in Cold Environments Using Thin‐Film Acoustic Waves

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of fundamentals and recent advances of transparent thin‐film surface acoustic wave technologies on glass substrates for monitoring and prevention/elimination of fog, ice, and frost. Fogging, icing, or frosting on optical lenses, optics/photonics, windshields, vehicle/airplane windows, and solar panel ...

Elastic strips [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
Motivated by the problem of finding an explicit description of a developable narrow Moebius strip of minimal bending energy, which was first formulated by M. Sadowsky in 1930, we will develop the theory of elastic strips. Recently E.L. Starostin and G.H.M.

Teoria dello sviluppo economico e il caso italiano.

open access: yesMoneta e Credito, 2014
In this brief survey, the three most recent contributions to the discussion of growth rate differentials are considered. All three, using different arguments, arrive at the conclusion that such a disparity should be considered as exceptional. Some argue,
