Abstract: Dielectric elastomers (DEs) are a class of highly deformable electroactive polymers (EAPs) employed for electromechanical transduction technology. When electrostatically actuated dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are ...

Abstract: The hard-magnetic soft materials (HMSMs) belong to the magnetoactive category of smart polymers that undergo large actuation strain under an externally applied magnetic field and can sustain a high residual magnetic flux ...

Abstract: Hard-magnetic soft materials, which exhibit finite deformation under magnetic loading, have emerged as a promising class of soft active materials for the development of phononic structures with tunable elastic wave band ...

Abstract: The adsorption isotherm models available in the literature have generally developed for sorption onto metallic surfaces or activated carbon-based sorbents. However, biosorptive uptakes involve interactions of biopolymer-based ...

Abstract: Models describing adsorption equilibrium have not been derived for the sorption onto the biosorbents including both virgin and immobilized biomasses. Biosorption involves interaction of biopolymer-based surfaces with ...

Abstract: In this study, a linear stability principle is utilized to investigate the Rayleigh–Taylor stability at the power-law viscoelastic fluid/inviscid gas interface. The power-law viscoelastic fluid lies above the gas and heat ...

Abstract: In this paper, an overlapping control volume method is presented for the numerical solution of transient 2D solute transport problems in ground water. The method is applicable for nonorthogonal grids and uses an isoparametric ...

Abstract: According to the hydrodynamic dispersion theories, the dispersion parameter is proportional to a power

Abstract: Traditional techniques for design flood estimation use historical rainfall-runoff data and unit hydrographs derived from them. Such procedures are questioned for their reliability due to the climatic and physical changes ...
