Vibrational properties, such as phonon dispersion and scattering, play a crucial role in a material’s mechanical, thermal, and thermoelectric behavior. Knowledge of the phonon stability boundary in ...

Abstract: Finite element method (FEM) is a numerical method for solving boundary value problem. The purpose of FEM is to solve partial differential equation (PDE) with specific boundary conditions. It ...

Multiple valves in the pipeline system belong to obvious periodic structure distribution types. When a high-speed airstream flows through the pipeline valve, it produces obvious aero-acoustic and ...

Abstract: Initial boundary-value problem for the homogeneous wave equation with dynamic boundary condition is considered in three-dimensional Lipschitz domain. The Kirchhoff's formula is used to ...

In geotechnical engineering, vertical drainage is the most economical method for accelerating the consolidation of a large area of soft ground. In this study, we analyze the viscoelasticity of the ...

Ask the publishers to restore access to 500,000+ books. An icon used to represent a menu that can be toggled by interacting with this icon. A line drawing of the Internet Archive headquarters building ...

Thermal gradients are ubiquitous in nature, yet relatively little is known about the forces they induce on the nanoscale. Here, we show using molecular simulations that a pair of heated/cooled ...

Humans have problems with quantum mechanics. We have excellent intuition about the motion of a tennis ball tossed in the air, but what about an electron trapped in a box? The tendency is to use the ...

ABSTRACT: Numerical simulation of the bifurcation of Bingham fluid streamline topologies in rectangular double-lid-driven cavity, with varying aspect (height to width) ratio A, is presented. The lids ...

This work deals with numerical techniques to compute electrostatic fields in devices with rounded corners in 2D situations. The approach leads to the solution of two problems: one on the device where ...
