The mechanical loss spectrum of a yellow gold bi-crystal is presented and analyzed in detail. The relaxation strength is monitored as a function of several geometrical parameters such as sample width, length and thickness. It is found that the relaxation s ...
We consider the question of the correlation of Fourier coefficients of modular forms with functions of algebraic origin. We establish the absence of correlation in considerable generality (with a power saving of Burgess type) and a corresponding equidistri ...
The aim of this work is to solve parametrized partial differential equations in computational domains represented by networks of repetitive geometries by combining reduced basis and domain decomposition techniques. The main idea behind this approach is to ...
A popular approach to tweakable blockcipher design is via masking, where a certain primitive (a blockcipher or a permutation) is preceded and followed by an easy-to-compute tweak-dependent mask. In this work, we revisit the principle of masking. We do so a ...
We assume a scenario where an attacker can mount several independent attacks on a single CPU. Each attack can be run several times in independent ways. Each attack can succeed after a given number of steps with some given and known probability. A natural q ...
The MBI (maximum block improvement) method is a greedy approach to solving optimization problems where the decision variables can be grouped into a finite number of blocks. Assuming that optimizing over one block of variables while fixing all others is rel ...
Finite elements methods (FEMs) with numerical integration play a central role in numerical homogenization methods for partial differential equations with multiple scales, as the effective data in a homogenization problem can only be recovered from a micros ...
A good implant primary stability is closely associated with long-term success of total hip arthroplasty. Excessive interfacial micromotion around the femoral component after cementless hip replacement is related to aseptic loosening of the stem and affects ...
An innovative higher-order beam theory, capable of accurately taking into account flexural–shear–torsional interaction, is originally combined with a force-based formulation to derive the corresponding finite element. The selected set of higher-order defor ...
Fluid bridges are ubiquitous soft structures of finite size that conform to and link the surfaces of neighboring objects. Fluid joints, the specific type of fluid bridge with at least one extremity constrained laterally, display even more pronounced reacti ...
