In this work, we couple a high-accuracy phase-field fracture reconstruction approach iteratively to fluid-structure interaction. The key motivation is to utilize phase-field modelling to compute the fracture path. A mesh reconstruction…
While several experiments claim that two-level system (TLS) defects in amorphous surfaces/interfaces are responsible for energy relaxation in superconducting resonators and qubits, none can provide quantitative explanation of their data in…
Complex dynamical systems are notoriously difficult to model because some degrees of freedom (e.g., small scales) may be computationally unresolvable or are incompletely understood, yet they are dynamically important. For example, the small…
Connected multi-agent robotic systems (MRS) are prone to deadlocks in an obstacle environment where the robots can get stuck away from their desired locations under a smooth low-level control policy. Without an external intervention, often…
An acoustic topological insulator (TI) is synthesized using topology optimization, a free material inverse design method. The TI appears spontaneously from the optimization process without imposing requirements on the existence of pseudo…
Three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TI) are novel quantum materials with insulating bulk and topologically protected metallic surfaces with Dirac-like band structure. The spin-helical Dirac surface states are expected to host…
We explore how the thermodynamic properties and dynamics of a self-interstitial prismatic dislocation loop are affected by microscopic-scale variations in its geometric configuration, an aspect that rarely received attention in literature.…
In natural images, object skeletons are used to represent geometric shapes. However, even slight variations in pose or movement can cause noticeable changes in skeleton structure, increasing the difficulty of detecting the skeleton and…
Dislocations are ubiquitous in three-dimensional solid-state materials. The interplay of such real space topology with the emergent band topology defined in reciprocal space gives rise to gapless helical modes bound to the line defects.…
Topological insulators (TIs) represent a novel quantum state of matter, characterized by edge or surface-states, showing up on the topological character of the bulk wave functions. Allowing electrons to move along their surface, but not…
The wide adoption of thermoplastic composites to reduce weight in structural parts requires reliable numerical methods to account for debonding between overmolded parts. Although cohesive elements are effective for debonding, the need for…
Exponentially localized surface states are the most distinctive property of a crystal with non-trivial band topology. Such surface states play a key role in characterizing topological insulators (TIs), both in theory and experiments. TIs…
Knots are entangled structures that cannot be untangled without a cut. Topological stability of knots is one of the many examples of their important properties that can be used in information storage and transfer. Knot dynamics is important…
Bulk boundary correspondence in topological materials allows to study their bulk topology through the investigation of their topological boundary modes. However, for classes that share similar boundary phenomenology, the growing diversity…
A challenge for renewable and hybrid power systems is the dynamically stable integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). This paper specifically investigates the influence of intermittent RES and measurement delays from power electronic…
This paper investigates finite-element modeling of a vertically damped free-standing rocking column. The paper first derives the nonlinear equation of motion for the coupled system and then compares the analytical solution with…
Network topology identification (TI) is an essential function for distributed energy resources management systems (DERMS) to organize and operate widespread distributed energy resources (DERs). In this paper, discriminant analysis (DA) is…
The mechanics of cohesive or cemented granular materials is complex, combining the heterogeneous responses of granular media, like force chains, with clearly defined material properties. Here, we use a discrete element model (DEM)…
The search for new topological materials and states of matter is presently at the forefront of quantum materials research. One powerful approach to novel topological phases beyond the thermodynamic space is to combine different…
The interaction between thin structures and incompressible Newtonian fluids is ubiquitous both in nature and in industrial applications. In this paper we present an isogeometric formulation of such problems which exploits a boundary…
