Vibration and Static Analysis of Functionally Graded Porous Plates [PDF]
Journal of Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2017 This research deals with free vibration and static bending of a simply supported functionally graded (FG) plate with the porosity effect. Material properties of the plate which are related to its change are position-dependent.

A Critical Time Window of Neocortex Modulation for Remote Fear Memory in Rats and Humans
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies a delayed consolidation window around 18 h after fear learning in the mPFC essential for remote fear memory. VTA dopaminergic input during this window sustains remote memory in rats, while non‐invasive stimulation of homologous human mPFC at the corresponding time selectively weakens remote but not recent fear memory, revealing a ...

The Effect of Residual Stress on the Electromechanical Behavior of Electrostatic Microactuators
Active and Passive Electronic Components, 2008 This work simulates the nonlinear electromechanical behavior of different electrostatic microactuators. It applies the differential quadrature method, Hamilton's principle, and Wilson-θ integration method to derive the equations of motion of ...

The Importance of Metal‐Organic Framework Linker Atoms for CO2 Reduction: A DFT Study
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Using DFT, we examine the role of linker atoms in CO2 reduction on copper‐based metal organic frameworks (Cu MOFs). Our calculations reveal that linker atoms may serve as both CO2 and H‐shuttling sites and suggest linker electrostatics as a descriptor for linker activity. ABSTRACT Although the metal within the secondary building unit of a metal‐organic

Generalized Hamilton's principle with fractional derivatives [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2010 We generalize Hamilton's principle with fractional derivatives in Lagrangian $L(t,y(t),{}_0D_t^\al y(t),α)$ so that the function $y$ and the order of fractional derivative $α$ are varied in the minimization procedure. We derive stationarity conditions and discuss them through several examples.
