Design of auxetic metamaterial for enhanced low cycle fatigue life and negative Poisson’s ratio through multi-objective Bayesian optimization

Materials & Design
Auxetic metamaterials (AM) with negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) offer promising mechanical properties but often suffer from significant stress concentrations, compromising durability and fatigue life.

Two-loop Functional Renormalization Group of the Random Field and Random Anisotropy O(N) Models

, 2006
We study by the perturbative Functional Renormalization Group (FRG) the Random Field and Random Anisotropy O(N) models near $d=4$, the lower critical dimension of ferromagnetism. The long-distance physics is controlled by zero-temperature fixed points at

Critical Theory in Adorno and Marcuse [PDF]

Polis: Revista de Stiinte Politice, 2016
Critical Theory is the key-word representing all the universe of thought commonly known as „Frankfurt School”. Within it, Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno and Herbert Marcuse are not so far each other, as instead are Max Horkheimer and Marcuse – considering ...
