Thin sheets respond to confinement by smoothly wrinkling, or by focusing stress into small, sharp regions. From engineering to biology, geology, textiles, and art, thin sheets are packed and confined in a wide variety of ways, and yet…
Refractory metals exhibit high strength at high temperature, but often lack ductility. Multiprinciple element alloys such as high entropy alloys offer the potential to improve ductility while maintaining strength, but we don't know…
This study presents results of experiments where roughness applications are evaluated in delaying the tip vortex cavitation inception of an elliptical foil. High-speed video recordings and Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) measurements are…
Two-point incremental forming (TPIF) is a flexible sheet metal forming process, commonly divided into positive and negative configurations. In order to improve the dimensional accuracy, thickness distribution, and overall formability of…
We use numerical simulation to investigate the effect an intruder's shape has on the drag and lift forces that it experiences while moving through a granular medium composed of polydisperse disks of mean diameter d. The intruder velocity,v,…
The effects of insulating lids on the convection beneath were investigated experimentally using rectangular convection cells in the flux Rayleigh number range $2.3\times10^{9}\leq Ra_F \leq 1.8\times10^{11}$ and cylindrical cells in the…

Estimation of condenser performance of two-phase passive heat spreaders with grooved wick structures is crucial in the prediction of the overall performance of the heat spreader. Whilst the evaporation problem in micro-grooves has been…
The interlock drive system generates traction by inserting narrow articulated spikes into the ground and by leveraging the soil's strength to resist horizontal draft forces. The system promises high tractive performance in low gravity…
We investigate the ground state configurations of $p$-atic liquid crystals on fixed curved surfaces. We focus on the intrinsic geometry and show that isothermal coordinates are particularly convenient as they explicitly encode a geometric…
Understanding contact line dynamics on superhydrophobic surfaces with microscopic structures is essential for designing materials with reduced drag, anti-icing, self-cleaning, and anti-fouling properties. Using numerical simulations, we…
For the contact of two finite portions of interacting rigid crystalline surfaces, we compute the dependence of the pinning energy barrier on the misfit angle and contact area. The resulting data are used to investigate the distribution of…
We investigate the stability of the deformation modeled by the opening angle method, often used to give a measure of residual stresses in arteries and other biological soft tubular structures. Specifically, we study the influence of…
We examine the shape change of a thin disk with an inserted wedge of material when it is pushed against a plane, using analytical, numerical and experimental methods. Such sheets occur in packaging, surgery and nanotechnology. We…
Photoelasticity is employed to investigate the stress state near stiff rectangular and rhombohedral inclusions embedded in a 'soft' elastic plate. Results show that the singular stress field predicted by the linear elastic solution for the…
Compliant grippers, owing to adaptivity and safety, have attracted considerable attention for unstructured grasping in real applications, such as industrial or logistic scenarios. However, accurately modeling the bidirectional relationship…
We develop a theory for drying-induced stresses in sessile, poroelastic drops undergoing evaporation on rigid surfaces. Using a lubrication-like approximation, the governing equations of three-dimensional nonlinear poroelasticity are…
We have performed high-fidelity simulations of turbulent open-channel flows over submerged rigid canopies made of cylindrical filaments of fixed length $l=0.25H$ ($H$ being the domain depth) mounted on the wall with an angle of inclination…
With a view to identifying and understanding the linear receptivity and amplification mechanisms that underpin laminar-to-turbulent transition over blunt bodies in hypersonic flow, we use resolvent analysis to study the flow over a blunt…
Graphene nanoslit pore is used for nanofluidic devices like water desalination, ion-selective channels, ionic transistors, sensing, molecular sieving, blue energy harvesting, and protein sequencing. It is a strenuous task to prepare…
