The effects of graphite surface geometrical deformation on the dynamics of conducting electrons are investigated theoretically. The analysis is performed within the framework of a deformation-induced gauge field and corresponding deformation-induced magnetic field. It is shown that the latter gives a local energy gap along the axis of a deformed nanotube. We compare our energy gap results with ...

This paper presents a new methodology for the deformation of soft objects by drawing an analogy between cellular neural network (CNN) and elastic deformation. The potential energy stored in an elastic body as a result of a deformation caused by an external force is propagated among mass points by nonlinear CNN activities. The novelty of the methodology is that soft object deformation is carried...

Recently, with the requirement of lighter weight and more safety for a design of automobile, energy absorption capability of structural materials has become important. TRIP (Transformation-induced Plasticity) steel is expected to apply to safety members because of excellent energy absorption capability and ductility. Past studies proved that such excellent characteristics in TRIP steel are domi...

Harmonic surface deformation is a well-known geometric modeling method that creates plausible deformations in an interactive manner. However, this method is susceptible to artifacts, in particular close to the deformation handles. These artifacts often correlate with strong gradients of the deformation energy. In this work, we propose a novel formulation of harmonic surface deformation, which i...

contact mechanics is related to the deformation study of solids that meet each other at one or more points. the physical and mathematical formulation of the problem is established upon the mechanics of materials and continuum mechanics and focuses on computations involving bodies with different characteristics in static or dynamic contact. contact mechanics gives essential information for the s...

Abstract The search for better and cheaper electrocatalysts is vital in the global transition to renewable energy resources. High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) provide a near‐infinite number of different with approximately continuous properties such as catalytic activity. In this work, activity electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction function molar composition Ag‐Ir‐Pd‐Pt‐Ru HEA treated landscape whe...

We analyse deformation mechanism in neutron-rich Cr, Fe and Ti isotopes with N=3244 by means of a Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mean-field code employing a twodimensional mesh representation in the cylindrical coordinate system. Evaluating systematically the quadrupole deformation energy, we show that the Skyrme parameter set SkM* gives a quadrupole instability around the neutron number N∼38-4...

The halting scale of the inverse energy cascade and the partition between kinetic and potential energy are considered for the case of forced quasigeostrophic turbulence in the regime of intermediate Rossby deformation length, for which the deformation length is comparable to the energy-containing scales of the flow. Phenomenological estimates for the halting scale and equilibrated energy of the...

Present study took into account the relationship between surface soil moisture of intertidal zone and its spectral reflectance and the relationship between surface soil moisture and the relative elevation of intertidal zone to extract ‘ridges’. It can represent the main morphological character of radial sand ridges, and find specific spectral bands to diagnose much ‘drier’ points of sand ridges...
