Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are heavily employed in the field of soft robotics because they exhibit the such programmable reversible shape changing and anisotropic mechanical response. But new ...

Lectures and readings focus on bridges, railroads, power plants, steamboats, telegraph, highways, automobiles, aircraft, computers, and the microchip. Historical analysis provides a basis for studying ...

A study conducted at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris uses images from NASA's Dawn mission and a Bayesian inversion of the Hapke photometric model to analyze avalanches and ejecta deposits ...

The indentation-induced wrinkling of a floating film illustrates the importance of the curvature-induced stiffness. In this problem, wrinkles are observed from an inner position, r = L I, to the outer ...
