WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A solid can serve as a medium for heat and sound wave interactions just like a fluid does for thermoacoustic engines and refrigerators – resulting in leak-free machines that can ...

Storage has come a long way in recent years, from hard disk drives to solid-state drives, and now that we're multiple ...

Introduction to the formulation and implementation of inelastic constitutive relations for solids. Viscoelasticity, rate-independent plasticity, viscoplasticity. State variable descriptions and ...

WHILE the specific heat, melting point and many other physical constants of a crystal are definite for any defined chemical composition, the mechanical strength may vary widely from specimen to ...

Solid-state batteries promise safer, lighter, and more energy-dense power packs for everything from smartphones to long-range electric cars, yet their real-world performance keeps falling short of the ...
