Abstract: The transient behaviors of the swelling and deswelling of gels involve concurrent mechanical deformation and solvent diffusion and exhibit a fascinating phenomenon. In this paper, a simple numerical tool is developed by ...

Abstract: Data-driven equation identification for dynamical systems has achieved great progress, which for static systems, however, has not kept pace. Unlike dynamical systems, static systems are time invariant, so we cannot capture ...

Abstract: Energy absorption structures are widely used in many scenarios. Thin-walled members have been heavily employed to absorb impact energy. This paper presents a novel, Ron Resch origami pattern inspired energy absorption ...

Abstract: The simplified governing equations of applied mechanics play a pivotal role and were derived based on ingenious assumptions or hypotheses regarding the displacement fields for specific problems. In this paper, we introduce ...

Abstract: The increasing significance on the development of high-performance lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is calling for new battery materials, theoretical models, and simulation tools. Lithiation-induced deformation in electrodes ...
