Abstract: There are various methods for transforming probable maximum precipitation (PMP) to probable maximum flood (PMF). Each method involves several steps during which certain assumptions have to be made and subjective judgments ...

Abstract: Elastic gridshell is a class of net-like structure formed by an ensemble of elastically deforming rods coupled through joints, such that the structure can cover large areas with low self-weight and allow for a variety of ...

Abstract: When an overhand knot tied in an elastic rod is tightened, it can undergo a sudden change in shape through snap buckling. In this article, we use a combination of discrete differential geometry (DDG)-based simulations and ...

Abstract: The fisherman’s knot, renowned for its strength and reliability, finds applications in engineering and medicine. However, a comprehensive understanding of its mechanics remains limited in scientific literature. In this ...

Abstract: The mechanical response of a knot tied in elastic rods strongly depends on the frictional force due to rod–rod contact. The behavior of a knot can be qualitatively different based on the frictional coefficient of the elastic ...
