In this paper, we study the hydrodynamics of a vesicle doublet suspended in an external
viscous fluid flow. Vesicles in this study are modeled using the phase-field model. The …

In design optimization of structures, design domains are often described by multiple non-
uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) patches. To perform multi-material topological design in …

Architected lattice materials, realized through artificial micro‐structuring, have drawn
tremendous attention lately due to their enhanced mechanical performances in …

Flexoelectricity is the generation of electric fields through strain gradients. It offers
unconventional ways to enhance the electromechanical coupling response of piezoelectric …

The Bézier extraction can decompose the NURBS-based isogeometric analysis (IGA)
elements into a series of Bézier elements with C 0 continuity, which is considered into …

In this work, a novel multiscale topology optimization method has been proposed for the
design of electromechanical energy-harvesting systems converting mechanical vibrations …

There has been a growing interest in controlled heat flux manipulation to increase the
efficiency of thermal apparatus. Heat manipulators control and manipulate heat flow. A key …

We present an isogeometric boundary element method (IGABEM) capable of studying heat
transfer problems for multiscale structures in electronic packaging problems. This method …

The flexoelectric effect, coupling polarization and strain gradient as well as strain and
electric field gradients, is universal to dielectrics, but, as compared to piezoelectricity, it is …

The simulation of microstructural evolution in multi-principal element alloys is still
challenging although for alloy development it is of high importance. In the work, a phase …
