BACKGROUND Different types of devices are available and the choice about which to use depends on various factors: cost, physical characteristics, performance, and the validity and intra- and interinstrument reliability. Given the large number of studies that have used uniaxial or triaxial devices, it is of interest to know whether the different devices give similar information about PA levels a...

Nuclear magnetic dipole properties of ground bands and γ-vibrational bands are studied for the first time using the triaxial projected shell model approach. The study is carried out for the Dy and Er isotopic chains, ranging from transitional to well-deformed region. It is found that the g-factor ratio of the 2 state in ground bands to that of γ-bands, r = g(2, γ-vib)/g(2, ground), varies along...

This study presents an AI-based constitutive modelling framework wherein the prediction model directly learns from triaxial testing data by combining discrete element (DEM) and deep learning. A learning strategy is proposed based on generally accepted frame-indifference assumption in constructing material models. The low-dimensional principal stress-strain sequence pairs, measured of testing, a...

Cuspy triaxial potentials admit a large number of chaotic orbits, which moreover exhibit extreme “stickiness” that makes the process of chaotic mixing surprisingly inefficient. Environmental effects, modeled as noise and/or periodic driving, help accelerate phase space transport but probably not as much as in simpler potentials. This could mean that cuspy triaxial ellipticals cannot exist as ti...
