The pore-load modulus of ordered nanoporous materials with surface effects
AIP Advances, 2016 Gas and liquid adsorption-induced deformation of ordered porous materials is an important physical phenomenon with a wide range of applications. In general, the deformation can be characterized by the pore-load modulus and, when the pore size reduces to ...

Prey localization in spider orb webs using modal vibration analysis
Scientific Reports, 2022 Spider webs are finely tuned multifunctional structures, widely studied for their prey capture functionalities such as impact strength and stickiness. However, they are also sophisticated sensing tools that enable the spider to precisely determine the ...

Deformation of polymer films by bending forces
, 1996 We study the deformation of nano--scale polymer films which are subject to external bending forces by means of computer simulation. The polymer is represented by a generalized bead--spring--model, intended to reproduce characteristic features of n ...

Robust structural superlubricity under gigapascal pressures
Nature CommunicationsStructural superlubricity (SSL) is a state of contact with no wear and ultralow friction. SSL has been characterized at contact with van der Waals (vdW) layered materials, while its stability under extreme loading conditions has not been assessed.

Effect of the foam embellishments on the pedestrian safety of the vehicle front protection systems [PDF]
, 2013 Pedestrian safety related compliance requirements are very important in case of design and development of the vehicle front protection systems. Computer aided engineering impact simulations were carried out to evaluate Head Injury Criterion (HIC) of a ...

Optimal rotations of deformable bodies and orbits in magnetic fields
, 2003 Deformations can induce rotation with zero angular momentum where dissipation is a natural ``cost function''. This gives rise to an optimization problem of finding the most effective rotation with zero angular momentum.
