Abstract: This work investigates the differences in mechanical and thermal properties of polylactic acid (PLA)/lignin biocomposites made of four different unmodified organosolv lignin materials, three of which were extracted from ...

Abstract: Abstract. This work examines the multistable response of a nonlinear energy sink (NES) incorporating piecewise linear stiffness. The introduction of piecewise linear stiffness modifies the system’s stiffness characteristics, ...

Abstract: emands are growing rapidly in the operational prediction and applications communities for forecasts that fill the gap between medium-range weather and long-range or seasonal forecasts. Based on the potential for improved ...
