EARLY SHAPE DIVERGENCE OF DEVELOPMENTAL TRAJECTORIES IN THE JAW OF GALEOMORPH SHARKS


Influence of Temperature and Plastic Strain on Deformation Mechanisms and Kink Band Formation in Homogenized HfNbTaTiZr

Due to its outstanding ductility over a large temperature range, equiatomic HfNbTaTiZr is well-suited for investigating the influence of temperature and plastic strain on deformation mechanisms in concentrated, body centered cubic solid solutions.For this purpose, compression tests in a temperature range from 77 up to 1073 K were performed and term

Vortex formation and dynamics of defects in active nematic shells

We present a hydrodynamic model for a thin spherical shell of active nematic liquid crystal with an arbitrary configuration of defects.The active flows generated by defects in the director lead to the formation of stable vortices, analogous to those seen in confined systems in flat geometries, which generate effective dynamics for four +1/2 Scraper
