A Hybrid Approach for Optimizing Planar Triangular Meshes
Modified Direct Method (MDM) is an iterative scheme based on Jacobi iterations for smoothing planar meshes [4]. The basic idea behind MDM is to make any triangular element be as close to an equilateral triangle as possible.

From Nature to Engineering: Mortar Volume and Interfacial Mechanics in Bioinspired Ceramics
Inspired by natural armors like nacre, this study explores how varying the volume fraction of the soft mortar layer impacts the interfacial strength and toughness of bioinspired ceramics. Experimental and computational analysis reveals that higher mortar volumes increase energy dissipation but reduce interfacial stiffness, offering insights for ...

Thermally Induced Gelling Systems Based on Patchy Polymeric Micelles
A novel strategy to design thermally induced gelling systems with tunable material properties is reported. Polymeric mixed‐shell micelles displaying multiple thermosensitive patchy domains formed hydrogels by assembling into well‐entangled worm‐like network structures upon heating to body temperature. The patchy micelle design significantly affects the

Tetrisation of triangular meshes and its application in shape blending
The As-Rigid-As-Possible (ARAP) shape deformation framework is a versatile technique for morphing, surface modelling, and mesh editing. We discuss an improvement of the ARAP framework in a few aspects: 1. Given a triangular mesh in 3D space, we introduce

Universal Superconductivity in FeTe and All‐Iron‐Based Ferromagnetic Superconductor Heterostructures
The first all‐iron‐based ferromagnetic superconductor heterostructures with high‐temperature superconductivity and strong ferromagnetism aredemonstrated. From this, it is discovered that FeTe becomes universallysuperconducting with a minute level of cationic impurities through doping ordiffusion from neighboring layers, suggesting its ground state can ...
