Temperature dependence of elastocaloric effect in a microstructurally graded NiTi alloy by Chen, Junyu, Wang, Wenqiang, Zhang, Qi, Lei, Liping, Ramamurty, Upadrasta, Fang, Gang

“…Detailed analyses show that while the fine grains present in the core of NiTi sheets reduce the global martensitic autocatalytic nucleation potency and increase strength to broaden Tspan, the coarser grains near the surfaces accommodate interlayer deformation to improve |ΔTad|. …”

On the local and string stability analysis of traffic collision risk by Dong, Tianyu, Zhou, Jiazu, Zhuo, Junfan, Li, Bo, Zhu, Feng

“…These theoretical insights are substantiated through microscopic simulations using a variety of car-following models. The simulations also indicate that the consistency between theoretical and simulation outcomes diminishes as the disturbance magnitude increases, which is attributed to the linearization errors inherent in applying the transfer function in the theoretical derivations.…”
