Efficient Numerical Framework for Geothermal Energy Production Optimization in Fracture‐Controlled Reservoirs

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
We introduce an efficient open‐source numerical framework for the automated search for the placements of injection and production wells in hot fracture‐controlled reservoirs that sustainably optimize geothermal energy production. We model the reservoirs as discrete fracture networks in 3D. The fluid flow and heat transport in the reservoirs are modeled

Electronic jelly: Engineering the mechanics of hydrogels for flexible electronics

FlexMat, EarlyView.
By unifying mechanical reinforcement strategies—double networks, structural ordering, and dynamic interactions—this review demonstrates how engineered hydrogels can transcend their fragility to achieve the strength, toughness, and reliability required for flexible electronics, including wearable sensors, energy devices, and soft robotic systems ...

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Caste as a Social Kind

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gender and race have received significant philosophical attention recently; they are the paradigm cases of social kinds in most philosophical accounts. I argue for the inclusion of caste as a social kind because it affects the lives of many people, and because it presents itself as an important test case for philosophers of social kinds.

Ellipsoid‐Based Interval‐Type Uncertainty Model Updating Based on Riemannian Manifold and Gaussian Process Model

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern engineering systems require advanced uncertainty‐aware model updating methods that address parameter correlations beyond conventional interval analysis. This paper proposes a novel framework integrating Riemannian manifold theory with Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) for systems governed by Symmetric Positive‐Definite (SPD) matrix ...
