The zeros of rational splines and complex splines

Journal of Approximation Theory, 1983
In this paper the author studies zeros of rational and complex splines. In section 1 he estimates the total number of zeros of a certain class of real analytic functions and rational splines. In section 2 he examines the problem concerning zeros of complex spline functions and obtains a sharp upper bound of the zeros of certain class of complex splines.

Performance Estimation and Ex Vivo Validation of Untethered Magnetic Robots in Soft Tissue

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an empirical model that quantitatively predicts the step‐out frequency of screw‐type untethered magnetic robots (UMRs) in soft viscoelastic environments, including ex vivo brain tissue. By integrating key parameters into a dimensionless framework, the model enables estimation of robot performance across a range of biological ...

Inverse Design of Pre‐Strain via a Predictive Electromechanical Model for Enhanced Strain Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An analytical electromechanical model rooted in microcrack evolution mechanics is globally calibrated from only eight pre‐strain datasets, enabling prediction of the complete sensing response at untested pre‐strain values within the calibrated design space (R2 > 0.99).

Monotone Data Visualization Using Rational Trigonometric Spline Interpolation

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Rational cubic and bicubic trigonometric schemes are developed to conserve monotonicity of curve and surface data, respectively. The rational cubic function has four parameters in each subinterval, while the rational bicubic partially blended function ...

Enhancing Near‐Room‐Temperature Thermoelectric Performance of n‐Type Mg3(Sb, Bi)2‐Based Materials via ZrB2 Heterointerface Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A conductive ZrB2 ceramic composite strategy was developed for Mg3(Sb, Bi)2 thermoelectrics to regulate carrier transport and phonon scattering through heterointerface engineering. The 1.0 wt.% ZrB2 composite achieved enhanced room‐temperature performance, with a power factor of 28.51 µW cm−1 K−2 and a peak ZT of 1.22 at 573 K.

Precise Control of Charge–Structure Coupling in Polyamide Membranes for Mono‐ and Divalent Ion Separation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A zwitterionic copolymer, Poly(2‐methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine‐co‐2‐aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride) (P(MPC‐co‐AEMA)) copolymers, with tunable MPC/AEMA ratios, is grafted onto the polyamide (PA) selective layer via secondary interfacial polymerization. Balancing reactive anchoring segments (AEMA) and zwitterionic segments (MPC) regulated

An isogeometric Reissner–Mindlin shell element based on mixed grid

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2018
We propose in this article a new isogeometric Reissner–Mindlin degenerated shell element for linear analysis. It is based on the mixed use of non-uniform rational basis spline and Lagrange basis functions in the same domain.
