In viscoelastic liquids, molecules are prone to spatial and temporal ordering. At equilibrium, the collective motions are rare events and their timespan is short. In flowing liquids, the propensity for ordering increases, ...

Understanding peeling behavior in soft materials is integral to diverse applications, from tissue engineering, wound care, and drug delivery to electronics, automotive, and aerospace equipment. These applications often ...

The resistance of sandwich cylinders with density-graded foam cores to internal blast loadings is investigated theoretically and numerically. Four kinds of density-graded foam core are designed, such as positive, negative, ...

Mechanical failure prediction of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can provide important maintenance information and decision-making reference in battery safety management. However, the complexity of the internal structure of ...

Although success is achieved by physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) as a deep learning solver in many fields, they face some challenges when solving solid mechanics problems. The most notable challenges include the ...

The plane strain problem of an isotropic elastic matrix subjected to uniform far-field load and containing multiple stiff prestressed arcs located on the same circle is considered. The boundary conditions for the arcs are ...

Space-coiling acoustic metamaterials dominated by the Fano resonance are being widely exploited for simultaneous control of sound isolation and air ventilation, and they usually achieve complete sound mitigation at multiple ...

Magnetic domain walls are promising information carriers for developing next-generation high-processing speed spintronic devices. While extensive research has been conducted on field- and current-driven domain wall propagation ...

A new central result that gives the necessary and sufficient conditions for two n by n skew-symmetric matrices and one symmetric matrix to be simultaneously quasi-diagonalized by a real orthogonal congruence is proved. ...

Democratized mechanical testing offers a promising solution for enabling the widespread adoption of recycled and renewably sourced feedstocks. Locally sourced, sustainable materials often exhibit variable mechanical ...
