A central goal of materials science is to understand the pathways by which materials transform. The dynamics of these processes involve heterogeneity, disorder, and irreversibility, and underlie a ...
When an elastic material (e.g., fabric) is horizontally stretched (or compressed), the material is compressed (or extended) vertically – so-called the Poisson effect. In the different case of the ...
Manipulation of deformable objects has given rise to an important set of open problems in the field of robotics. Application areas include robotic surgery, household robotics, manufacturing, logistics ...
The dynamics in many complex systems is essentially heterogeneous and involves a series of discrete events—in particular, local structural changes. The nature and scale of these changes may vary ...
I’ve just started teaching an advanced undergraduate course on Fourier analysis — my first lecturing duty in my new job at Edinburgh. What I hadn’t realized until I started preparing was the ...
