Disorder‐Driven Fast Na+ Transport: From Crystalline to Amorphous Networks in the Mixed‐Anion NaTaOxCl6−2x Oxychlorides

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Oxygen substitution in NaTaOxCl6‐2x drives structural evolution from isolated [TaCl6]– octahedra, through oxygen‐bridged [Ta2OCl10]2– dimers, toward extended trans‐[TaO2Cl4]3– chain‐like arrangements. At intermediate compositions, zero‐dimensional corner‐sharing motifs are proposed to create a flexible, disordered framework that peaks ionic ...

Gradient bounds for Wachspress coordinates on polytopes

open access: yes, 2013
We derive upper and lower bounds on the gradients of Wachspress coordinates defined over any simple convex d-dimensional polytope P. The bounds are in terms of a single geometric quantity h_*, which denotes the minimum distance between a vertex of P and ...

Optimizing 3D Bin Packing of Heterogeneous Objects Using Continuous Transformations in SE(3)

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents a method for solving the three‐dimensional bin packing problem for heterogeneous objects using continuous rigid‐body transformations in SE(3). A heuristic optimization framework combines signed‐distance functions, neural network approximations, point‐cloud bin modeling, and physics simulation to ensure feasibility and stability ...

A Stress/Displacement Virtual Element Method for Plane Elasticity Problems

open access: yes, 2017
The numerical approximation of 2D elasticity problems is considered, in the framework of the small strain theory and in connection with the mixed Hellinger-Reissner variational formulation. A low-order Virtual Element Method (VEM) with a-priori symmetric

Geometric Rounding and Feature Separation in Meshes

open access: yes, 2018
Geometric rounding of a mesh is the task of approximating its vertex coordinates by floating point numbers while preserving mesh structure. Geometric rounding allows algorithms of computational geometry to interface with numerical algorithms.

Geodesics in Heat

open access: yes, 2012
We introduce the heat method for computing the shortest geodesic distance to a specified subset (e.g., point or curve) of a given domain. The heat method is robust, efficient, and simple to implement since it is based on solving a pair of standard linear

Research on Evaporation Characteristics and Safe Storage Duration of Marine Liquid Hydrogen Storage Tanks Under the Coupling Effect of Heat Leakage and Sloshing

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid hydrogen, a zero‐carbon and high–energy‐density fuel, is a promising option for future oceangoing vessels. During maritime transportation, onboard cryogenic tanks are exposed to ambient heat leakage and ship‐induced roll motion, which can trigger sloshing and fundamentally modify the coupled thermo‐fluid processes governing boil‐off and

Enabling High‐Loading Aqueous Zinc–Sulfur Batteries Via a Ni Single‐Atom Catalytic Host with Hierarchical Sulfur Reservoirs

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A Ni single‐atom‐anchored N‐doped carbon hollow host synergizes atomic Ni‐N4 sites with a hierarchical porous skeleton, enabling high‐sulfur‐loading aqueous Zn–S batteries with high capacity, low polarization, and excellent cycling stability for flexible energy storage.

Eliminating Spurious Velocities with a Stable Approximation of Viscous Incompressible Two-Phase Stokes Flow

open access: yes, 2013
We present a parametric finite element approximation of two-phase flow. This free boundary problem is given by the Stokes equations in the two phases, which are coupled via jump conditions across the interface.
