Although linear accelerations are an important common component of the diversity fish locomotor behaviors, acceleration is one least-understood aspects propulsion. Analysis behavior in fishes with both spiny and soft-rayed median fins demonstrates that fin area actively modulated when accelerate. We implemented undulatory biomimetic robotic model manufactured using multimaterial three-dimensional printing-a spiny-rayed dorsal fin, dorsal/anal fins, a caudal fin-whose stiffnesses span three...

Abstract. Earth and other terrestrial icy planetary bodies deform visco-elastically under various forces. Numerical modeling plays a critical role in understanding the nature of dynamic deformation processes. This article introduces newly developed, open-source package, CitcomSVE-3.0, which efficiently solves visco-elastic bodies. Based on its predecessor, CitcomSVE-2.1, CitcomSVE-3.0 is updated to account for elastic compressibility depth-dependent density, are particularly important...

A series of TiO2 nanorod arrays were obtained by hydrothermal reaction, then the morphologies characterized and analysed. In light polymerization condition, different chiral nematic liquid crystalline (N*-LCs) media combined to prepare broad-band reflectors. By adjusting length interval size arrays, reflection spectra positions reflected spectrum bandwidth can be controlled accordingly. As a result, effect temperatures on in N*-LC composite system has been investigated. Potential...

Tandem blade technology has become an effective method to break the load limit of conventional aerodynamic configurations. To expand application range tandem blades, supersonic flow characteristic was studied and optimal design conducted by using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver, with inflow Mach number 1.2. The main conclusions follow: (1) loss is difficult control because complicated structures inflow; (2) forward dominates overall in whole operating conditions; (3) profile...
