A phase‐field method for modeling cracks with frictional contact [PDF]
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2019 SummaryWe introduce a phase‐field method for continuous modeling of cracks with frictional contacts. Compared with standard discrete methods for frictional contacts, the phase‐field method has two attractive features: (i) it can represent arbitrary crack geometry without an explicit function or basis enrichment, and (ii) it does not require an ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Numerical simulation on the freezing of deposited or impinged water droplets on a cold surface
Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2021 The freezing of water droplets deposited or impinged on cold surfaces causes many problems in traffic lights, power transmission wires and heat exchangers. Thus, the suppression of the freezing of these droplets is very important.

The human gut microbiome across the life course
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Phase-field topology optimization model that removes the curvature effects
Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2017 The conventional phase-field topology optimization (PFTO) models minimize not only the objective function but also the interface energy. In the present study, a new PFTO model, which minimizes only the objective function, is developed by removing the ...

Phase‐field material point method for brittle fracture [PDF]
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2017 SummaryThe material point method for the analysis of deformable bodies is revisited and originally upgraded to simulate crack propagation in brittle media. In this setting, phase‐field modelling is introduced to resolve the crack path geometry. Following a particle in cell approach, the coupled continuum/phase‐field governing equations are defined at a
