Abstract: In a hypervelocity impact (HVI) event, the shock pressures exceed the strength of common aerospace materials, and brief shockinduced temperature rises cause melting and vaporization of most structural bodies. Under these ...

Abstract: Despite recent interests in complex fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems, little work has been conducted to establish baseline multidisciplinary FSI modeling capabilities for research and commercial activities across ...

Abstract: The size of a bumblebee relative to its wing span would suggest that flight is not possible according to the conventional aerodynamic theories, yet nature shows that not to be true, hence the bumblebee paradox. Bumblebee ...
