The constants s<sub>ij</sub> will be shown to originate in a boson type that is identified as elastic quadrupole radiation. Consistent with the conclusion that the two elastic constants are defined by bosons is that they reach a (finite) maximum at the ordering temperature of the respective boson field.

Additionally, ordered boson fields constrict themselves to the finite volume of a stationary unit. In magnetism, these ordered units are known as domains. The mosaic blocks are identified as the long-range ordered units, created upon ordering of the MP-bosons. Moreover, ordered boson fields attempt to assume the smallest possible volume (magnetostriction).

By combining large-scale molecular dynamics simulations with a stochastic structure generation method, this study revealed that the Poisson’s ratio of biphenylene can shift from positive to negative as the degree of hydrogenation is adjusted. Specifically, at lower hydrogenation levels, the Poisson’s ratio decreases with increasing hydrogenation, eventually exhibiting a negative Poisson’s ratio at 40% to 50% hydrogenation. However, as hydrogenation progresses further, the negative Poisson’s ratio effect diminishes. The occurrence of negative Poisson’s ratio in hydrogenated biphenylene is attributed to a pronounced ripple effect induced by hydrogenation. Under tensile strain, the suppression of ripples reduces contraction in the direction perpendicular to the applied stretch. Moreover, the findings highlight a strong correlation between the ripple effects in the structure and the percentage of hydrogenation.

In order to capture the influences of the finite heat wave speed, the hyperbolic heat transfer equation is used. The face sheets of the nanocomposite sandwich shell are made of graphene platelets (GPLs) reinforced polymer matrix. The core layer is fabricated from a GPLs reinforced porous composite material. In both core layer and face sheets, GPLs have uniform distribution and random orientation. Through a two-dimensional layerwise approach, the differential quadrature method (DQM) and the nonuniform rational basis spline (NURBS) curves based multi-step technique are employed to discretize the governing equations in the spatial and temporal domains, respectively. The performance of the present method is demonstrated by performing convergence study and comparing the results in the limit cases with those reported in literature. Following the approach validation, parametric studies are carried out to elucidate the influences of heat flux speed, porosity distribution and amounts, GPLs weight fractions and the shell-thickness-to-length ratio on the thermal responses of the sandwich conical shells under investigation. The results show that the speed of moving heat flux and GPLs weight fractions have significant effects on the thermal responses of the shells. But the porosity distribution and amounts have less effect on the thermal behavior of the shell.

This study examines the effects of varying negative biases (60 V, 80 V, 100 V) and annealing treatments on the mechanical properties of Ni films deposited on sapphire. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental validation based on results of deposition experiments. With increasing negative bias reduces the grain size of the Ni film and decreases the (111)/(100) phase ratio. After annealing, residual stress within film is released, resulting in increased grain size and a higher content of (100) phase. MD simulations reveal that higher negative biases lead to increased dislocation density in Ni film, with plastic deformation predominantly governed by Shockley and Stair-rod dislocations. After annealing, dislocation density decreases, and under 80 V and 100 V conditions, the emergence of Hirth dislocations facilitates earlier onset of plastic deformation. Differences in phase composition within Ni film cause atomic displacements during indentation to exhibit directionality, which diminishes after annealing. Furthermore, the von Mises strain initially decreases and then increases with rising negative bias. Notably, at 80 V, the film achieves an optimal balance of moderate grain size, low dislocation density, and controlled phase composition, minimizing von Mises strain and exhibiting the highest elastic modulus and hardness. The experimental findings align with MD simulation results based on the COMB3 potential, confirming the reliability of the simulations.
