Rogue Waves on a Vortex Filament
The presence of a standing soliton on a vortex filament has been demonstrated theoretically by Hasimoto [1] for classical fluids, by Van Gorder [2] for quantum fluids as well as experimentally by Hopfinger and Browand [3] ... -
The role of cavitation in the toughening of elastomer nanocomposites reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets
(Elsevier, 2024-05-13)The toughening of different types of elastomers through the incorporation of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) has been investigated. Both the tear strength and tearing energy are increased significantly through a combination ... -
The role of focal block (trough/plane) in panoramic radiography: Why do some structures appear blurred out on these images?
(Elsevier/Science Direct, 2014-05-01)Panoramic radiographs are commonly used in dental practice. The challenge with panoramic radiography is overlapping structures, ghost and air shadows. The area of interest can appear blurred especially in the anterior ... -
The role of fullerenes in the environmental stability of polymer:fullerene solar cells
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-01-10)Environmental stability is a common challenge for the commercialisation of low cost, encapsulation-free organic opto-electronic devices. Understanding the role of materials degradation is the key to address this challenge, ... -
The role of hairs in the adhesion of octopus suckers: a hierarchical peeling approach.
(2020-03-20)Organisms like the octopus or the clingfish are a precious source of inspiration for the design of innovative adhesive systems based on suction cups, but a complete mechanical description of their attachment process is ... -
The role of interfacial properties on the intralaminar and interlaminar damage behaviour of unidirectional composite laminates: Experimental characterization and multiscale modelling
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)The development of the latest generation of wide-body passenger aircraft has heralded a new era in the utilisation of carbon-fibre composite materials. One of the primary challenges facing future development programmes is ... -
Role of Ni in PtNi Bimetallic Electrocatalysts for Hydrogen and Value-Added Chemicals Coproduction via Glycerol Electrooxidation.
(2022-12-02)Pt-based bimetallic electrocatalysts are promising candidates to convert surplus glycerol from the biodiesel industry to value-added chemicals and coproduce hydrogen. It is expected that the nature and content of the ...
