The so-called glass transition is the process by which some liquid-like materials become solid-like, without forming a ...

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) is a powerful numerical technique used to solve complex engineering problems, particularly in the analysis of anisotropic materials and thermal stress.

Anisotropic materials play a critical role in today's manufacturing processes and other applications. Their unique ability to retain their shape under extreme thermal conditions has made these ...

McGill University researchers have expanded the capabilities of kirigami-inspired metamaterials to achieve anisotropic morphing, enabling stable transitions into various shapes. This could lead to ...

New theory offers insights into the origin of the very low and negative thermal expansion observed in cordierite ...

Recently, a research team uncovered the propagation and toughening mechanism of tortuous crack front in bioinspired ...
