An interdisciplinary research team of the Institutes of Physical Chemistry and Physics of the University of Freiburg and the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Frankfurt-am-Main has discovered a ...

This paper presents the development of a physics-based model of a proportional directional valve with the aim of describing its dynamic behavior while accounting for the influence of friction forces ...

As oil and gas exploration and development gradually expand into complex areas such as deep and ultra-deep, offshore, and unconventional resources, directional drilling and horizontal wells have ...

The upper figure shows the viscoelastic toy model proposed here, characterized by only six independent parameters. Surprisingly, this simple mechanical model produces complicated system dynamics, as ...

Atoms slip against one another, eventually sticking in various combinations. Tectonic plates do the same, sliding across each other until they stick in a stationary state. Everything from the tiniest ...
