Numerical simulation of titanium fibre metallic laminates under various impact loading by Selvadurai Shanmugasundram

“…In low impact velocity impact, the front and back panels failed in a petaling shape mode but when the impact velocity is increased to the ballistic level of 400m/s shear plugging was observed. The experimental setup is replicated in the FE model and analyzed for the same velocity and energy levels for both low and high velocity impacts models. …”

Galaxy bias in the era of LSST: perturbative bias expansions by Nicola, A, Hadzhiyska, B, Findlay, N, García-García, C, Alonso, D, Slosar, A, Guo, Z, Kokron, N, Angulo, R, Aviles, A, Blazek, J, Dunkley, J, Jain, B, Pellejero, M, Sullivan, J, Walter, CW, Zennaro, M

“…We consider a variety of different simulated galaxy samples and test the performance of the bias models in a tomographic joint analysis of LSST-Y10-like galaxy clustering, galaxy-galaxy-lensing and cosmic shear. We find both HEFT methods as well as LPT and EPT combined with non-perturbative predictions for the matter power spectrum to yield unbiased constraints on cosmological parameters up to at least a maximal scale of&nbsp;<em>k</em>_max&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.4&nbsp;Mpc^-1&nbsp;for all samples considered, even in the presence of assembly bias. …”

Failure analysis and characterization for microelectronic packaging by Lin, Pamela

“…The simulation results also show that the presence of an interfacial void has a more adverse impact on the interfacial strength than having a void in the Si layer. Under the shear loading, the bilayer system deforms in three stages: elastic deformation, plastic flow in the a-Si3N4 layer and interfacial sliding. …”

Recovery of Herschel-Bulkley Fluid Parameters from Video via Differentiable Simulations by Eastman, John M.

“…Our approach aims to accurately recover physical parameters and achieve high-fidelity 3D reconstructions from single-view videos of fluids, even those with complex rheological behaviors like shear thinning and thickening. In this study, we apply our method to a Herschel-Bulkley fluid, namely ketchup, under two different real-world conditions: a 50mm column collapse and being squeezed from a bottle. …”

Self-organized canals enable long-range directed material transport in bacterial communities by Li, Ye, Liu, Shiqi, Zhang, Yingdan, Seng, Zi Jing, Xu, Haoran, Yang, Liang, Wu, Yilin

“…Using Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonies as a model system, we discover that a large-scale and temporally evolving open-channel system spontaneously develops in the colony via shear-induced banding. Fluid flows in the open channels support high-speed (up to 450 µm/s) transport of cells and outer membrane vesicles over centimeters, and help to eradicate colonies of a competing species Staphylococcus aureus. …”
