This paper describes a fast technique for animating clothing on walking humans. It exploits a mass-spring cloth model but applies a new velocity directional modification approach to overcome its super-elasticity. The algorithm for cloth-body collision detection and response is based on image-space interference tests, unlike the existing ones that use object-space checks. The modern workstations...

Abstract The deep cryogenic temperatures encountered in aerospace present significant challenges for the performance of elastic materials spacecraft and related apparatus. Reported carbon or ceramic aerogels overcome low-temperature brittleness conventional polymers. However, complicated fabrication process high costs greatly limited their applications. In this work, super-elasticity at a tempe...

In this work, the nonlocal elastic waves in a fluid conveying armchair thermo elastic single walled carbon nanotube under moving harmonic load is studied using Eringen nonlocal elasticity theory via Euler Bernoulli beam equation. The governing equations that contains partial differential equations for single walled carbon nanotube is derived by considering thermal and Lorenz magnetic force. The...

We report extensive numerical simulations of different models 2D polymer rings with internal elasticity. monitor the dynamical behavior as a function packing fraction to address effects particle deformation on collective response system. In particular, we compare three models: (i) recently investigated model [N. Gnan and E. Zaccarelli, Nat. Phys. 15, 683 (2019)] where an inner Hertzian field pr...

Large super-elasticity approaching its theoretically expected value was achieved in Ti-13.3Nb-4.6Mo alloy having an ultrafine-grained ?-phase. In-situ synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the dominant yielding mechanism changed from dislocation slip to martensitic transformation by decreasing ?-grain size down sub-micrometer. Different grain dependence of critical stre...

To Malthus, rapid human population growth-so evident in 18th Century Europe-was obviously unsustainable. In his Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus cogently argued that environmental and socioeconomic constraints on population rise were inevitable. Yet, he penned his essay on the eve of the global census size reaching one billion, as nearly two centuries of super-exponential increase ...
