(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The cross-linked polymeric microstructures of biological hydrogels (or biogels) give rise to their mechanical properties, which in turn contribute to their proper biological function. For example, cartilage is stiff, ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Hydrogen fuel, storing solar energy by splitting water, is of great potential as efficient energy storage due to its sustainability, carbon-neutrality and high energy density per mass. One of major bottlenecks for the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)In structural dynamic problems, the mode superposition method is the most widely used solution approach. The largest computational effort (about 90% of the total solution time) in the mode superposition method is spent on ...
