A New Linearized Crank-Nicolson Mixed Element Scheme for the Extended Fisher-Kolmogorov Equation
The Scientific World Journal, 2013 We present a new mixed finite element method for solving the extended Fisher-Kolmogorov (EFK) equation. We first decompose the EFK equation as the two second-order equations, then deal with a second-order equation employing finite element method, and ...

Free-form optimization method for controlling time-dependent response of 3D linear elastic structure
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2019 In this paper, a parameter-free optimization method is proposed for controlling the time-dependent response of a three-dimensional linear elastic structure, where the optimal shape is determined without design parameterization. The design objective is to

Onsager's Cross Coupling Effects in Gas Flows Confined to Micro-channels
, 2016 In rarefied gases, mass and heat transport processes interfere with each other, leading to the mechano-caloric effect and thermo-osmotic effect, which are of interest to both theoretical study and practical applications. We employ the unified gas-kinetic

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Merging materials processing tricks inspired by mussel and mistletoe fiber fabrication, solutions of cationic mussel byssus proteins were mixed with modified anionic nanocrystalline cellulose, producing distinctive core‐shell condensates. Simple processing of condensate suspensions using freeze‐drying produced hierarchically structured porous protein ...

Free-form optimization of shell structures for maximizing elastic buckling load
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014 This paper presents a free-form optimization method for maximizing the elastic buckling load of a shell structure. A shell structure is assumed to be movable in the normal or the tangent direction to the surface for the shape optimization.

Tunable Applicator for Microneedle‐Based Medical Devices
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This paper presents a simple, low‐cost tunable applicator (TAPP) for microneedle array patches that uses a material‐agnostic controlled‐fracture mechanism to ensure reliable skin penetration and uniform array engagement. The scalable, modular design is compatible with injection molding and 3D printing, can be integrated directly into patches, and is ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Amphiphilic chloroazobenzenes, bearing different amino acids as end groups alanine, phenylalanine, and valine, exhibit excellent photoisomerizations. Varying structures of three amino acid groups participate in supramolecular formations and therefore photoinduced morphological transformations via adjusting intermolecular interactions. These interaction
