By employing coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation, we simulate the spatial organization of the polymer-grafted nanoparticles (NPs) in homopolymer matrix and the resulting mechanical performance, by particularly regulating the grafted chain length and flexibility. The morphologies ranging from the agglomerate, cylinder, sheet, and string to full dispersion are observed, by gradually incr...

With the development of the technology and increase of human dependency on structures, healthy structures play an important role in people lives and communications. Hence, structural health monitoring has been attracted strongly in recent decades. Improvement of measuring instruments made signal processing as a powerful tool in structural heath monitoring. Wavelet transform invention causes a g...

A factor for estimating the flexibility of proteins is described that uses a cleavage method of "in-source decay (ISD)" coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). The MALDI-ISD spectra of bovine serum albumin (BSA), myoglobin and thioredoxin show discontinuous intense ion peaks originating from one-side preferential cleavage at the N-Cα bond of Xxx-As...

In recent years, numerous approaches have been proposed for detecting damage in structures, in which the flexibility-based Damage Locating Vector (DLV) method is one of the promising techniques. By computing a set of load vectors from the change of the flexibility matrix before and after damage and then applying them as static forces to analytical model for static computation, the DLV method is...

We propose an interpretable model that combines the simplicity of matrix factorization with flexibility neural networks to evolving user interests by efficiently extracting nonlinear patterns from massive text data collections.

Protein structural fluctuation, typically measured by Debye-Waller factors, or B-factors, is a manifestation of protein flexibility, which strongly correlates to protein function. The flexibility-rigidity index (FRI) is a newly proposed method for the construction of atomic rigidity functions required in the theory of continuum elasticity with atomic rigidity, which is a new multiscale formalis...

in recent years the aluminum matrix composites are gaining wide spread applications in automotive, aerospace, defense, sport and other industries. the reason for this is their exciting properties like high specific strength, stiffness, hardness, wear resistance, dimensional stability and designer flexibility. the present work reports on mechanical properties and microstructure analysis of al-si...
