Dynamic Indentation Characteristics for Various Spacings and Indentation Depths: A Study Based on Laboratory and Numerical Tests by Jie Liu, Wen Wan, Yu Chen, Jun Wang

“…Moreover, the numerical analysis indicates that crack propagation usually leads to the decrease of the indentation force and the dissipation of the stress concentrations at crack tips, whereas the cessation of crack propagation frequently resulted in the increase of the indentation force and the stress concentrations at crack tip with the increase in indentation depth.…”

Coupling Ratio-Based Design and Seismic Performance of Modular Prefabricated Hybrid Coupled Walls by Yun Shi, Yumin Zhang, Jianbo Dai, Guangyuan Weng

“…However, it also exhibits excellent ductility of the coupling beams, which is necessary for dissipating energy under infrequent earthquakes. Subsequently, nonlinear hysteretic analyses are conducted from finite element analysis software ABAQUS, and a parametric study based on the finite element technique is performed to identify the optimal value of the coupling ratio. …”

Low-Rank Variational Quantum Algorithm for the Dynamics of Open Quantum Systems by Sara Santos, Xinyu Song, Vincenzo Savona

“…Two variational ansatze are proposed, and their effectiveness is assessed in the simulation of the dynamics of a 2D dissipative transverse field Ising model. The results underscore the algorithm's efficiency in simulating the dynamics of open quantum systems in the low-rank regime with limited quantum resources on a near-term quantum device.…”

Numerical investigation of water droplet collision dynamics on moving surfaces by Shu Tian, Atena Ghaderi

“…Also, detachment of the lamella becomes stronger by increasing the speed of the surface; hence, there is only a little recoiling contact with increased energy dissipation. In contrast, the smaller droplets had a quite stable spreading with no lamella breakup at all, which is evidence again for the decisive action of droplet size and kinetic energy in dynamics after impact. …”
