A study conducted at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris uses images from NASA's Dawn mission and a Bayesian inversion of the Hapke photometric model to analyze avalanches and ejecta deposits ...

These instructions are meant to take a user familiar with computers but new to (or a beginner with) Python through the basics of how to get gFlex to work. The Python scripting part towards the end ...

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are heavily employed in the field of soft robotics because they exhibit the such programmable reversible shape changing and anisotropic mechanical response. But new ...

Abstract: In this study, we propose an analysis method to evaluate the relationship between the body shape and joint loads of a snake-like robot when a load is applied to the head. A snake-like robot ...

School of Mechanical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece. A Google Scholar search for the term “Timoshenko beam” currently yields approximately 127,000 results—an ...

Strength anisotropy and heterogeneous rotated anisotropy are prevalent phenomena in natural slopes. Previous studies have underscored their significance in slope stability analysis. However, in ...

While nanoscale structural imaging of cells is now possible, a direct recording of chemical composition of these domains is lacking. Here we overcome this challenge by first analytically modeling the ...

What are the key challenges in establishing precise geodetic control networks? This is one of the most important tasks of geodesists and land surveyors, since geodetic control networks are essential ...

Aiming at the problem of insufficient research on the action mechanism and stability calculation method of the top beam in the pile-anchor support structure, firstly the force and deformation model ...

Atomically precise complex oxides containing “stubborn” elements, such as ruthenium, iridium, and platinum, hold tremendous promise as designer quantum materials for exploring novel electronic, ...
