We present a method for measuring the characteristic length of sea ice based on fitting to a the recentlyfound solution for the flexural response of a floating ice sheet subject to localized periodic loading. Unlike previous techniques, the method enables localized measurements at single frequencies of geophysical interest and, since the measurements may be synchronously demodulated, gives exce...

In this paper, a numerical solution has been developed for hollow circular cylinders made up of orthotropic material which is subjected to twist using micro polar theory. The effect of twisting moment and material internal length on hollow thick-walled circular cylinder made up of micro polar orthotropic material is investigated. Finite difference method has been used to exhibit the influence o...

A fluctuation theory approach to a cooperativity onset of the dynamic glass transition is described. Recent dielectric and heat capacity spectroscopy (HCS) experiments for several random copolymers of n-butyl methacrylate with styrene indicate a steep linear increase of relaxation intensities (lie, chop) and of square root of cooperativity (Nj/~)

A tight-binding model together with a statistical method are used to investigate the relation between the sequence-dependent electric transport properties and the sequences of protein-coding regions of complete genomes. A correlation parameter Omega is defined to analyze the relation. For some particular propagation length w max, the transport behaviors of the coding and noncoding sequences are...

Some correlated materials display an insulator-to-metal transition as the temperature is increased. In most cases, this can also be induced electrically, resulting in volatile resistive switching due to formation of a conducting filament. While phenomenon has attracted much attention potential applications, many fundamental questions remain unaddressed. One them its characteristic lengths: What...

Abstract. The utilization of a fracture energy regularization technique, based on the crack band model, can effectively resolve issue mesh-size dependency in finite element modelling quasi-brittle structures. However, achieving accurate results requires proper estimation characteristic length method. This study presents practical calculation methods for length, particularly higher-order element...
