Constructing 3D self-supporting surfaces with isotropic stress using 4D minimal hypersurfaces of revolution by Ma, Long, He, Ying, Sun, Qian, Zhou, Yuanfeng, Zhang, Caiming, Wang, Wenping

“…The existing thrust network analysis methods discretize both geometry and material by approximating the continuous stress field through uniaxial singular stresses, making them an ideal tool for analysis and design of beam structures. In contrast, our method works on piecewise linear surfaces with continuous material. …”

On shear adhesion of adhesive fibrils by Linghu, Changhong, Du, Zihao, Sun, Yi, Chen, Weiqiu, Hsia, K. Jimmy

“…Our model reveals that, depending on the fibrillar aspect ratio, the adhesive fibril exhibits three distinct deformation regimes: thin film shearing, thick block shearing, and slender beam bending. The important parameters governing the shear adhesion of the lap shear system are the aspect ratio of fibrils, elastic moduli of the fibrils and substrates, while the Poisson's ratio of fibrils has no noticeable effect. …”

Advection-diffusion-settling of deep-sea mining sediment plumes. Part 1: Midwater plumes by Ouillon, Raphael, Muñoz-Royo, Carlos, Alford, Matthew H., Peacock, Thomas

“…The model shows that the discharge mass flow rate and the concentration threshold play an equal and opposite role on setting the extent of the plume. Ambient ocean turbulence and the settling velocity distribution of particles play a lesser yet significant role on setting the extent, and can influence different metrics in opposing ways.…”
