A Detailed Discussion of Superfield Supergravity Prepotential Perturbations in the Superspace of the $AdS_5/CFT_4$ Correspondence

, 2010
This paper presents a detailed discussion of the issue of supergravity perturbations around the flat five dimensional superspace required for manifest superspace formulations of the supergravity side of the AdS_{5}/CFT_{4} Correspondence.Comment: The ...

Steve Smale and Geometric Mechanics [PDF]

, 1993
Thus, one can say-perhaps with only a slight danger of oversimplification- that reduction theory synthesises the work of Smale, Arnold (and their predecesors of course) into a bundle, with Smale as the base and Arnold as the fiber.

Actuating and Sensing Composites of Liquid Crystal Elastomers and Poly(ionic liquid)s

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic conductive, mechanically tough, flexible, and stretchable filaments of a composite material comprising a liquid crystal elastomer and a poly(ionic liquid) are produced through 3D printing, which exhibit large actuation strain under stimulation and electrical resistance variation in response to deformation or environmental condition changes. Their

Physical and geometrical non-linear analysis of plane frames considering elastoplastic semi-rigid connections by the positional FEM

Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures
This study presents an alternative Finite Element formulation based on positions to model plane frames considering geometrical non-linear and elastoplastic behavior for members and semi-rigid connections. The formulation includes shear effects and allows

Safety and Stability of Structures with Semi-Rigid Connections of Members in Nodes [PDF]

, 2013
The structural design of a system in which connections of members are absolutely rigid or perfectly pinned has been thoroughly worked out in the existing literature.

Triblock Polymer Engineering Enables Hydration‐Rich, High‐Performance, Fouling‐Resistant Interfaces

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A molecularly engineered triblock polymer (PHZ) rapidly reorganizes into a hydration‐rich interfacial layer on diverse surfaces, strongly suppressing hydrophobic attraction and fouling. The triblock polymer provides robust energy and steric barriers to oily foulants, enabling high‐performance antifouling at ultralow dosage.

Performance of the PR connections under combined Axial-tension and moment loading

Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering, 2010
The inherent moment capacity of bolted top-seat angle connections with double web angles (TSDW), categorized as partially restrained (PR) connections according to AISC-LRFD specifications, can be considered in analyses of semi-rigid connections ...

Rigidity and flexibility of biological networks

, 2012
The network approach became a widely used tool to understand the behaviour of complex systems in the last decade. We start from a short description of structural rigidity theory.

Engineering Strategies for Stable and Long‐Life Alkaline Zinc‐Based Flow Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Alkaline zinc‐based flow batteries face persistent challenges from unstable zinc deposition, including dendrite growth, passivation, corrosion, and hydrogen evolution, which severely limit cycling stability. Current research addresses these issues through coordinated electrode structuring, electrolyte regulation, and membrane design to control zinc ...

Structure Formation in Butterfly Scales: Interplay of Genetic Control, Mechanical Instabilities, and Dynamic Material Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth‐driven mechanical instabilities shape the resulting nanoscale architectures created from single cells.
