Multi-scale computational model for failure analysis of metal frames that includes softening and local buckling [PDF]
In this work we present a new modelling paradigm for computing the complete failure of metal frames by combining the stress-resultant beam model and the shell model.

Strong Coupling Superconductivity in the Vicinity of the Structural Quantum Critical Point in (CaxSr1-x)3Rh4Sn13 [PDF]
The family of the superconducting quasiskutterudites (CaxSr1?x)3Rh4Sn13 features a structural quantum critical point at xc=0.9, around which a dome-shaped variation of the superconducting transition temperature Tc is found.

Creep and Fracture in Concrete: A Fractional Order Rate Approach [PDF]
The paper analyses the interaction between strain-softening and time-dependent behaviour in the case of quasi-static fracture of concrete. A viscous element based on a fractional order rate law is coupled with a micromecanical model for the fracture ...

Kohn Anomaly in Raman Spectroscopy of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
Phonon softening phenomena of the $\Gamma$ point optical modes including the longitudinal optical mode, transverse optical mode and radial breathing mode in "metallic" single wall carbon nanotubes are reviewed from a theoretical point of view. The effect

Phenomenological Consequences of Enhanced Bulk Viscosity Near the QCD Critical Point [PDF]
In the proximity of the QCD critical point the bulk viscosity of quark-gluon matter is expected to be proportional to nearly the third power of the critical correlation length, and become significantly enhanced.

An Off-center Density Peak in the Milky Way's Dark Matter Halo? [PDF]
We show that the position of the central dark matter density peak may be expected to differ from the dynamical center of the Galaxy by several hundred parsec.

Soft phonons and diffuse scattering in insulating La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_4$ ($x=0.05$) have been studied by the neutron scattering technique. The X-point phonon softens from high temperature towards the structural transition temperature $T_{s}=410$ K ...

Estimating Softening Point of Cheeses
Abstract Two objective test methods for determining the softening point of cheeses, accounting for both rheological and thermal characteristics, were developed. An apparatus operated on modified squeeze-flow configuration for evaluating softening and flow characteristics of cheeses was used to determine the softening point of cheeses.

Lattice dynamics for isochorically heated metals: A model study
The electron-excitation induced bond strength variations in metals have been predicted from density-functional theory calculations and observed experimentally, while the microscopic mechanism has yet to be elucidated.
