A viscous, lubrication-like response can be triggered in a thin film of fluid squeezed between a rigid flat surface and the tip of an incoming projectile. We develop a scaling for this viscous approach stage of fluid-mediated normal impact, applicable to s ...

This paper presents an efficient method to implement a damage law within an explicit time-integration scheme, in an open-source object-oriented finite-element framework. The hybrid object/vector design of the framework and implementation choices are detail ...

The invention relates to a material removing tool, such as an ice cream scoop, and method for designing the same. The material removing tool has a shape optimized to minimize the amount of work the user has to provide in order to form and remove a piece of ...

Crack fronts deform due to heterogeneities, and inspecting these deformations can reveal local variations of material properties, and help predict out-of-plane damage. Current models neglect the influence of a finite dissipation length scale behind the cra ...

We show that concurrent atomistic/continuum displacement-coupling methods are inherently unstable in the context of fully dynamic problems at finite temperature. The fundamental origin of the instability is the displacement coupling of two material descrip ...
