Abstract Over the last decades, finite element analysis (FEA) has become a standard tool in industrial product development, allowing for virtual of designs, quick turnaround times and prompt implementation results. Although academic research also provides numerous approaches evaluating product’s robustness towards geometrical, material load variations based on FEA analyses, this, however, stand...

In the present article, geometrical nonlinear behavior of deployable booms undergoing large displacements and rotations is investigated. The triangular rollable collapsible boom made fiber-reinforced composite materials considered along with a metallic tape spring. mathematical model makes use higher-order 1D structural theories based on Carrera unified formulation, which allows description mod...

© 2006 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0602-010-2 T ancient Greeks were aware of the phenomenon of magnetic order in lodestone, a type of rock containing the ferromagnet magnetite Fe3O4. Magnetic moments in a ferromagnet tend to align and thereby sum to an easily observed macroscopic magnetic moment. The absence of such a moment even in ordered antiferromagnets is the reason their di...

This paper proposes rigorous geometrical treatment of bioelectrodynamics, underpinning two fast–growing biomedical research fields: bioelectromagnetism, which deals with the ability of life to produce its own electromagnetism, and bioelectromagnetics, which deals with the effect on life from external electromagnetism.

This is a working paper, describing work that the two of us have done over the course of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, developing in some detail an analysis of some aspects of inflectional morphology. In most respects this work continues the development of work in this area over the past fifty or more years, but in one or two important ways our approach is different. We believe that a geometr...

 The existence and non-existence of trend-resistant repeated measurement designs are investigated. Two families of efficient/optimal repeated measurement designs which are very popular among experimenters are shown to be trend-resistant or trend-resistant with respect to treatments.
