Propagation Failure in Excitable Media
, 1997 We study a mechanism of pulse propagation failure in excitable media where stable traveling pulse solutions appear via a subcritical pitchfork bifurcation. The bifurcation plays a key role in that mechanism.

Self-replicating cracks: a collaborative fracture mode in thin films [PDF]
, 2014 Straight cracks are observed in thin coatings under residual tensile stress, resulting into the classical network pattern observed in china crockery, old paintings or dry mud. Here, we present a novel fracture mechanism where delamination and propagation

Use of elastic stability analysis to explain the stress-dependent nature of soil strength [PDF]
, 2015 The peak and critical state strengths of sands are linearly related to the stress level, just as the frictional resistance to sliding along an interface is related to the normal force. The analogy with frictional sliding has led to the use of a ‘friction

Conceptual nonorthogonal gyro configuration for guidance and navigation [PDF]
, 1967 Nonorthogonal sensor configuration using six single-degree-of-freedom inertial reference gyroscopes and a complete data processing and self-contained failure detection-and-isolation mechanism provides redundant capabilities to guidance and navigation ...

Observation of Damage Growth in Compressively Loaded Laminates [PDF]
, 1983 An experimental program to determine tie phenomenological aspects of composite-panel failure under simultaneous compressive n-plane loading and low-velocity transverse impact [C-75 m/s (0-250 ft/s)] is described.

Metabolic Mechanisms in Heart Failure [PDF]
Circulation, 2007 Although neurohumoral antagonism has successfully reduced heart failure morbidity and mortality, the residual disability and death rate remains unacceptably high. Though abnormalities of myocardial metabolism are associated with heart failure, recent data suggest that heart failure may itself promote metabolic changes such as insulin resistance, in ...

Failure Analysis of Topside Facilities on Oil/Gas Platforms in the Bohai Sea
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 The jacket platform in the Bohai Sea oilfield is an important engineering development, offering design alternatives in this economically important region. However, ice-induced vibration in cold areas threatens the safety and operation of these platforms.

Model-based dependability analysis : state-of-the-art, challenges and future outlook [PDF]
, 2015 : Over the past two decades, the study of model-based dependability analysis has gathered significant research interest. Different approaches have been developed to automate and address various limitations of classical dependability techniques to contend

Design Concept for a Failover Mechanism in Distributed SDN Controllers [PDF]
, 2017 Software defined networking allows the separation of the control plane and data plane in networking. It provides scalability, programmability, and centralized control. It will use these traits to reach ubiquitous connectivity.

Mechanism for the failure of the Edwards hypothesis in the SK spin glass
, 2006 The dynamics of the SK model at T=0 starting from random spin configurations is considered. The metastable states reached by such dynamics are atypical of such states as a whole, in that the probability density of site energies, $p(\lambda)$, is small at
