The mechanics of rocking stones: equilibria on separated scales
, 2011 Rocking stones, balanced in counter-intuitive positions have always intrigued geologists. In our paper we explain this phenomenon based on high-precision scans of pebbles which exhibit similar behavior. We construct their convex hull and the heteroclinic

Behavior of the interphase of dyed cotton residue flocks reinforced polypropylene composites
, 2017 Textile industry produces a high amount of residues that, nowadays, are poorly managed. The majority of such wastes are dumped and landfilled. Among all the textile value chain, cotton yarning factories produce wastes in the shape of fiber flocks, with ...
