This study aims to construct a stochastic process called "Brownian house-moving," which is a Brownian bridge conditioned to stay between two curves. To construct this process, statements are prepared on the weak convergence of conditioned…
The purpose of this paper is to apply characteristics of residual stress that causes cantilever beams to bend for manufacturing a micro-structured gas flow sensor. This study uses a silicon wafer deposited silicon nitride layers,…
When a liquid viscous bridge between two parallel substrates is stretched by accelerating one substrate, its interface recedes in the radial direction. In some cases the interface becomes unstable. Such instability leads to the emergence of…
The ballistic performance of electron transport in nanowire transistors is examined using a 10 orbital sp3d5s* atomistic tight-binding model for the description of the electronic structure, and the top-of-the-barrier semiclassical ballistic…
Wind-traffic interactions strongly influence the dynamic response of long-span bridges, yet loads are often analysed independently. This work models concurrent wind and traffic and demonstrates that it differs from linear superposition.…
In order to characterize very weak adhesive surfaces, we have developed a quantitative test inspired by the Johnson, Kendall, and Roberts adhesion test for soft adhesives, which relies on the formation and then the rupture of a capillary…
In assessing piezoresistive microcantilever sensitivity for surface stress sensing, the key is its capacity to translate surface stress into changes in resistance. This change hinges on the interplay between stresses and piezoresistivity.…
A rectangular plate modeling the deck of a suspension bridge is considered. The plate may widely oscillate, which suggests to consider models from nonlinear elasticity. The von K\'arm\'an plate model is studied, complemented with the action…
Motivated by a biased diffusion of molecular motors with the bias dependent on the state of the substrate, we investigate a random walk on a one-dimensional lattice that contains weak links (called "bridges'') which are affected by the…
We introduce a new class of stochastic processes called fractional Wiener-Weierstrass bridges. They arise by applying the convolution from the construction of the classical, fractal Weierstrass functions to an underlying fractional Brownian…
We describe in this paper a crossbridge model in which an attached crossbridge behaves like a linear spring with a variable rest length. We assume in particular that the rest length has a linear force-velocity relation, and that the force…
Impedance controllers are popularly used in the field of lower limb prostheses and exoskeleton development. Such controllers assume the joint to be a spring-damper system described by a discrete set of equilibria and impedance parameters.…
The beam transport system for the Advanced Hydrotest Facility (AHF) anticipates multiple beam splitters [1]. Monitoring two separated beams in a common beam pipe in the splitter sections imposes certain requirements on diagnostics for these…

Planar tunneling junctions of the presumably unconventional superconductor FeSe were prepared and investigated. The junctions consisted of FeSe/AlOx/Ag multilayers patterned lithographically into mesa structures. Bias voltage dependent…
The electrical response of two-dimensional electron gas to vibrations of a nanomechanical cantilever containing it is studied. Vibrations of perpendicularly oriented cantilevers are experimentally shown to change oppositely the conductivity…

A diagonal surface in a link exterior M is a properly embedded, incompressible, boundary incompressible surface which furthermore has the same number of boundary components and same slope on each component of the boundary of M. We derive a…
We consider a thin and narrow rectangular plate where the two short edges are hinged whereas the two long edges are free. This plate aims to represent the deck of a bridge, either a footbridge or a suspension bridge. We study a nonlocal…
