It is well known that the strongly location-dependent microstructures observed in metal parts
made using additive manufacturing (AM) processes differ from those found in components …

Hydroelastic fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems usually involve nonlinear free surface
flows, large structure deformations and changing interfaces, which present great challenges …

Abstract Solid Composite Propellants (SCPs) are extensively used in the field of propulsion
for their chemical and mechanical stability in long-term storage, and for having simple …

Fracture is one of the main causes of failure in engineering structures. Phase field methods
coupled with adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) techniques have been widely used to model …

Fracture is a ubiquitous phenomenon in most composite engineering structures, and is often
the responsible mechanism for catastrophic failure. Over the past several decades, many …

Polymers have myriad uses in the modern world, but their advantageous properties can be
compromised by degradation induced via moisture absorption. This work presents a novel …

Solid composite propellants (SCPs) are ubiquitous in the field of propulsion. In order to
design and control solid rocket motors, it is critical to understand and accurately predict SCP …

Abstract Knowledge about grain boundary migration is a prerequisite for understanding and
ultimately modulating the properties of polycrystalline materials. Evidence from experiments …

Grain boundary (GB) migration is a key mechanism underlying such phenomena as
recrystallization, solidification, and severe plastic deformation. Mounting evidence suggests …

Many solid mechanics problems on complex geometries are conventionally solved using
discrete boundary methods. However, such an approach can be cumbersome for problems …
