The development of new theoretical and experimental methods that allow precise control of thermal energy transport is important across a number of research areas, including highly efficient ...

Understanding the way a wave moves through granular materials—after an earthquake, for example—has vast implications for modern science. After all, scientists use stress wave propagation through ...

The study of wave propagation in viscoelastic and piezoelectric materials is pivotal in advancing modern sensor and actuator technologies. Viscoelastic materials, which display both viscous flow and ...

Wave springs come in a variety of configurations, dimensions, and materials to deliver precise spring force in up to 50% less axial space than traditional coiled springs in the aerospace, automotive, ...

For the first time, two mathematicians have created a 3-D simulation of the mass transport capabilities of mode-2 waves. Such models will help define how mode-2 waves can carry materials that are ...
