Effective Long-Time Diffusivity of Particles of Arbitrary Shape in an External Orienting Field
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2025)Pertaining to the motion of a rigid particle in a flow, several distinct “centers” of the rigid particle can be identified, including the geometric center (centroid), center of mass, hydrodynamic center, and center of ... -
Kirchhoff’s Analogy for a Planar Deformable Ferromagnetic Rod
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2025)Kirchhoff’s kinetic analogy relates the equilibrium solutions of an elastic rod or strip to the motion of a spinning top. In this analogy, time is replaced by the arc length parameter in the phase portrait to determine the ... -
Objective Moiré Patterns
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2025)Moiré patterns, typically formed by overlaying two layers of two-dimensional materials, exhibit an effective long-range periodicity that depends on the short-range periodicity of each layer and their spatial misalignment. ... -
