Shape programming lines of concentrated Gaussian curvature [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physics, 2021 Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can undergo large reversible contractions along their nematic director upon heating or illumination. A spatially patterned director within a flat LCE sheet, thus, encodes a pattern of contraction on heating, which can morph the sheet into a curved shell, akin to how a pattern of growth sculpts a developing organism ...

Ultrasound International Open, 2016 Purpose: Plastic surgery on the eyelids for the purpose of aesthetic or functional correction requires precise knowledge of lid anatomy. Changes in the tarsal curvature of the upper eyelid relative to line of vision are important, particularly when a ...

A Study on the Prediction Model of the Radius of Curvature of the Subtle Feature of the Automotive Parts for Different Forming Conditions [PDF]
한국정밀공학회지, 2023 The subtle feature is one of the characteristic lines and represents the most noticeable line in the automotive panel. In this study, we proposed a method to predict the radius of curvature of products according to the material, its thickness, its punch ...

Frontiers in Physics, 2023 To investigate the manoeuvring performance of a body-caudal fin robot fish, a numerical framework combining computational fluid dynamics and multi-body dynamics with a closed-loop control algorithm was established in this study. Within this framework, we

Curvature of the chiral pseudocritical line in QCD [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2014 We determine the curvature of the pseudo-critical line of strong interactions by means of numerical simulations at imaginary chemical potentials. We consider $N_f=2+1$ stout improved staggered fermions with physical quark masses and the tree level Symanzik gauge action, and explore two different sets of lattice spacings, corresponding to temporal ...

Cartographic Line Generalization Based on Radius of Curvature Analysis
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2018 Cartographic generalization is one of the important processes of transforming the content of both analogue and digital maps. The process of reducing details on the map has to be conducted in a planned way in each case when the map scale is to be reduced.

Splitting the curvature of the determinant line bundle [PDF]
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1999 It is shown that the determinant line bundle associated to a family of Dirac operators over a closed partitioned manifold has a canonical Hermitian metric with compatible connection whose curvature satisfies an additivity formula with contributions from the families of Dirac operators over the two halves. This curvature form is the natural differential

Real-Time Curvature Measurement Sensor for Active Steering of Railroad Vehicles [PDF]
한국정밀공학회지, 2019 Conventional railroad vehicles, that run on a line with high frequency of sharp curves, have problems such as wheel noise and wear, from insufficient passive steering.

Berry curvature associated to Fermi arcs in continuum and lattice Weyl systems
Physical Review Research, 2023 Recently it has been discovered that in Weyl semimetals the surface state Berry curvature can diverge in certain regions of momentum. This occurs in a continuum description of tilted Weyl cones, which for a slab geometry results in the Berry curvature ...

A New Approach to Rotational Weingarten Surfaces
Mathematics, 2022 Weingarten surfaces are those whose principal curvatures satisfy a functional relation, whose set of solutions is called the curvature diagram or the W-diagram of the surface.
