Rate-independent soft crawlers [PDF]
The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, 2018 This paper applies the theory of rate-independent systems to model the locomotion of bio-mimetic soft crawlers. We prove the well-posedness of the approach and illustrate how the various strategies adopted by crawlers to achieve locomotion, such as friction anisotropy, complex shape changes and control on the friction coefficients, can be effectively ...

Multi-timescale analysis of fatigue crack growth on interfaces via cohesive-zone models [PDF]
, 2014 The paper describes a new non-linear finite-element formulation to analyse fatigue debonding or delamination, along predefined interfaces, which is multi-scale in time. At the small timescale level, cyclic loading and the related oscillating response are

On rate independent models for crack propagation [PDF]
PAMM, 2008 AbstractWe model the evolution of a single crack as a rate–independent process based on the Griffith criterion. Three approaches are presented, namely a model based on global energy minimization, a model based on a local description involving the energy release rate and a refined local model which is the limit problem of regularized, viscous models ...

Instantaneous identification of Bouc-Wen-type hysteretic systems from seismic response data [PDF]
, 2007 This paper presents a technique for identification of non-linear hysteretic systems subjected to non-stationary loading. In the numerical simulations, a Bouc-Wen model was chosen for its ability to represent the properties of a wide class of real ...

Programming and training rate-independent chemical reaction networks
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2022 Embedding computation in biochemical environments incompatible with traditional electronics is expected to have a wide-ranging impact in synthetic biology, medicine, nanofabrication, and other fields. Natural biochemical systems are typically modeled by chemical reaction networks (CRNs) which can also be used as a specification language for synthetic ...

The accretion rate independence of horizontal branch oscillation in XTE J1701-462
, 2014 We study the temporal and energy spectral properties of the unique neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701-462. After assuming the HB/NB vertex as a reference position of accretion rate, the horizontal branch oscillation (HBO) of the HB/NB vertex is
