Direct measurements of the bulk flow of a ferrofluid in a uniform rotating magnetic field were obtained using the ultrasonic velocity profile method. The fluid was observed to corotate with the field in a rigid-body-like fashion throughout the bulk of the container, except near the air-fluid interface, where it was observed to counterrotate. The results were found in qualitative agreement with ...

Osborne et al [Phys. Rev. E 74, 036309 (2006)] suggested that our conclusions on the ability of kinematic simulation to represent the t(3) Richardson law [Thomson and Devenish, J. Fluid Mech. 526, 277 (2005)] were an artifact of our choice of time step. Here we repeat some of the simulations with a small fixed time step, enabling us to confirm that our previous study was not compromised by the ...

We give a rigorous proof of existence for solitary waves of a peridynamics model in one space dimension recently investigated by Silling (J. Mech. Phys. Solids 96:121–132, 2016). We adapt the variational framework developed by Friesecke and Wattis (Comm. Math Phys. 161:391–418, 1994) for the FermiPasta-Ulam-Tsingou lattice equations to treat a truncated problem which cuts off short-range intera...

Mobile robots are increasingly being developed for highrisk missions in rough terrain situations, such as planetary exploration. Here a rough-terrain control (RTC) methodology is presented that exploits the actuator redundancy found in multi-wheeled mobile robot systems to improve ground traction and reduce power consumption. The methodology “chooses” an optimization criterion based on the loca...

Assessing singular elements that constitute the air barrier of a building envelope is quite unfeasible in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The study these solutions through this particular scope often overlooked. Two major aspects contribute to it: complexity relationships between and reduced embodied impact materials overall construction or retrofitting works. This work uses LCA Costing (LCC) viab...
