Mechanisms of transverse cracking induced by adjacent ply matrix cracks in composite laminates by Carrère, Nicolas, Doitrand, Aurélien, Conan, Mathilde, Martin, Eric

“…Experimental observations of the composite edge under tensile loading evidence θ-ply cracking (i) at an imposed strain level much larger than first transverse cracking in 90° ply for a sufficiently large orientation mismatch between adjacent plies or (ii) at a similar imposed strain level if the mismatch angle between two adjacent plies is small. …”

Geometry-symmetry-free and material-symmetry-guaranteed polariton-induced transparency by Xingyu Tang, Huaping Wang, Zhenyang Cui, Sihao Xia, Zhiwei He, Song Han, Hongsheng Chen, Yingjie Wu

“…PIT arises from the strong resonance of vPhPs and the subsequent robust near-field coupling at large thicknesses, where the in-plane anisotropy of vPhPs results in multi-spectral PIT across different polariton bands, enabling the tuning of PIT by adjusting the lattice orientation of α-MoO3 without altering geometry. These findings highlight the potential of polariton modes beyond PPs in PIT systems, with applications in sensors, modulators, and slow light systems.…”

Finite Element Method Using a Characteristic-Based Split for Numerical Simulation of a Carbonate Fracture-Cave Reservoir by Liehui Zhang, Yuhui Zhou, Lei Zhao, Deliang Zhang

“…After discrete modeling, the Galerkin finite element method was used for numerical calculation of the single-phase free flow; the method maintains a high-precision result with low grid orientations during the simulation. In addition, because only one linear equation requires solving at each step, the solution is obtained quickly. …”

Leveraging Simplex Gradient Variance and Bias Reduction for Black-Box Optimization of Noisy and Costly Functions by Mircea-Bogdan Radac, Titus Nicolae

“…Regardless of the simplex orientation, while reducing the gradient bias error owned to several factors such as truncation, numerical or measurement noise, we claim and verify that, under relaxed assumptions about the underlying function&#x2019;s differentiability, the estimated gradient by the simplex method has at most half the variance of the finite-difference gradient. …”
