Abstract: A new nonholonmic Hamiltonian formulation of ab initio molecular dynamics extends current Ehrenfest, Car–Parrinello, and Born–Oppenheimer formulations, offering potential improvements to modeling methods employed in ...

Abstract: Carbon nanotube (CNT)-based conductors are the focus of considerable ongoing experimental research, which has demonstrated their potential to offer increased current carrying capacity or higher specific conductance, as ...

Abstract: The widespread use of copper in power and data cabling for aircraft, ships, and ground vehicles imposes significant mass penalties and limits cable ampacity. Experimental research has suggested that iodine-doped carbon ...

Abstract: Experimental research has investigated the non-Newtonian fluid augmentation of fabric barrier materials, aimed at adding impact energy dissipation mechanisms and thereby improving ballistic performance. Published experimental ...

Abstract: Magnetorheological (MR) fluids, well established as components of a variety of suspension systems, may offer opportunities to improve the performance of fabric ballistic protection systems, which typically do not incorporate ...
