Non-Hermitian extension of the Haldane model induced by non-reciprocal hopping by Law, Yi Khing

“…In the presence of non-Hermiticity however, there is a failure of the correspon- dence between the bulk and the boundary which is attributed to the non-Hermitian skin effect. The report concludes with a depiction of the non-Hermitian skin effect in the form of a square geometry under open boundary conditions.…”

Free vibration properties of beetle elytron plate: Composite material, stacked structure and boundary conditions by Song, Yiheng, Hao, Ning, Ruan, Sihan, He, Chaochao, Quanjin, Ma

“…The results indicate that 1) the ranking of structural parameters on the 1st order frequency from a strong to weak sequence is as follows: length-to-width ratio, core height-to-thickness ratio, foam density and skin thickness; for the 2nd order natural frequency: length-to-width ratio, skin thickness, foam density and core height-to-thickness ratio. 2) Generally, an increase in the length-to-width ratio will reduce the frequency of the BEP, and increases in the core height-to-thickness ratio and skin thickness will raise its frequency. …”
