Abstract: A wide variety of crystalline nanowires (NWs) with outstanding mechanical properties have recently emerged. Measuring their mechanical properties and understanding their deformation mechanisms are of important relevance ...

Abstract: Interfacial shear stress transfer of a monolayer graphene on top of a polymer substrate subjected to uniaxial tension was investigated by a cohesive zone model integrated with a shearlag model. Strain distribution in the ...

Abstract: A new algorithm is applied to study water vapor fluxes in the troposphere using wind and moisture data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. The fluxes are divided into filamentary structures known ...

Abstract: In this work, the compressive buckling of a nanowire partially bonded to an elastomeric substrate is studied via finiteelement method (FEM) simulations and experiments. The buckling profile of the nanowire can be divided ...

Abstract: The seasonal changes of the upper-tropospheric humidity are studied with the water vapor data from the Microwave Limb Sounder on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration?s Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, and ...
