Liquid crystal elastomers can vary their shape freely with no extra mechanical energy like liquids when deformed in the plane.

LATTICE DISCRETE MODELING OF OUT-OF-PLANE BEHAVIOR IRREGULAR MASONRY - 8th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering 28-30 June 2021, Streamed from Athens, Greece

Data plane compilation is a transformation from a high-level description of the intended packet processing functionality to the underlying data plane architecture. Compilation in this setting is usually done statically, i.e., the input of the compiler is a fixed description of the forwarding plane semantics and the output is code that can accommodate any packet processing behavior set by the co...

A macroscopic constitutive equation is developed for a high-density cellulose insulation material with emphasis on the outof-plane stress relaxation behavior. A hypothesis is proposed where the total stress is additively composed by an out-of-plane visco-elastic isotropic contribution and an in-plane elastic orthotropic response. The theory is validated against out-of-plane stress relaxation, c...

In addressing the integration of IP and WDM networks, we propose a joint operation approach. Through reconfiguration or real-time setup of lightpaths, joint operation focuses on optimizing network performance or guaranteeing it to a defined level under current network configuration and dynamic data traffic pattern at the network operational stage. Our model features a separation of control plan...
