Some computers are easy to spot. Artificial, human-built computers like those found in smartphones and laptops are abstract ...

This study presents a newly engineered nonlinear stiffness-softening mechanism that enables micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers to operate with dramatically reduced bias force and ...

ABSTRACT: Nanopillars have attracted considerable attention in nanoengineering because of their superior optical, chemical, and biological properties, which have led to their use in nanodevices and ...

Abstract: To tackle the insufficient representation of uncertainty and weak structural adaptability in nonlinear system modeling, a dynamic interval type-2 fuzzy stochastic configuration network ...

China’s western alpine regions are rich in mineral resources. However, factors such as freeze-thaw erosion, earthquakes, rainfall, and mining disturbances have weakened the strength of rock masses in ...

In a world of shifting social norms and evolving family roles, one concept remains strikingly relevant: structural family dynamics. While often overlooked in public discourse, this psychological and ...

Many systems obey simple, linear rules: If you pull twice as hard on a spring, it stretches twice as far. However, when we introduce very large forces or complicated interactions, that linear rule ...

Chaotic systems, such as fluid dynamics or brain activity, are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making long-term predictions difficult. Even minor errors in modeling these systems can rapidly ...

This study establishes a thermo-mechanical coupling framework to elucidate the contribution mechanisms of nonlinear thermal loads in composite girders through thermal effect decomposition. A novel ...
