Capillary forces and wetting dynamics by diffuse-interface modeling
… are studied within the framework of the diffuse interface theory. The key to understanding the dynamics of interfacial systems lies in an accurate description of the capillary forces. In this work, we combine the diffuse interface theory with a multiphase lattice Boltzmann algorithm to develop a …

Collaborative Interface Modeling of Fuel Wood Harvesting Practices: Residential NIPF Landowners of the Jefferson National Forest Wildland/Urban Interface, Montgomery County, Virginia
… forest (NIPF) owners within the Wildland/Urban interface are an increasingly important forest owner demographic. An increase in rural residential land use is fragmenting historically large contiguous forestlands. Consequently resource management has become decentralized. NIPF-landowners, as the …

Single-component Li₂O solid electrolyte interphase on lithium : probing transport properties in battery environments
… spite of much attention paid to engineering Li interfaces of late, there is still limited understanding of the desired chemical composition of an improved Li SEI. One major challenge has been a lack of empirical data on the structure-property-performance relations in individual SEI phases, and …

Computer Aided Drafting Virtual Reality Interface
… monitor. Along the way, other, more specialized interface devices were created specifically for CAD that allowed for easier and more intuitive navigation within a 3D space, but they were at best stopgap solutions. Virtual Reality (VR) allows users to navigate and interact with digital 3D objects …

Multiscale Peridynamics Analysis of Nanocomposites and Energetic Materials Using Nonlocal and Local Interface Models
Interface modeling is a critical aspect in any multi-material system modeling. Even a small change in the interface model may lead to significant changes in material behavior of the microscale, and these changes may transfer up to higher scales influencing the strain and stress fields, and damaging …

An Object Model Framework for Interface Management in Building Information Models
… performance is significantly reduced by numerous interface issues that also hinder its industrialization. Interface Management (IM) is becoming critical to the success of multidisciplinary construction projects. This research deals with three challenging problems associated with IM: 1) how to …

Dynamic soil modeling in site response and soil-large pile interaction analysis
… highlighted the important role of soil-pile interface modeling to simultaneously provide the best match for measurements of pore water pressure, acceleration, and lateral displacement. The numerical model is then employed to determine the effects of using representative permeability values …

Battery interfaces in the face of machine learning and artificial intelligence
… Instabilities arise in the solid-solid interfaces within the battery, especially in the interfaces between the solid electrolyte and the electrodes where decomposition reactions often occur. Experimental efforts to characterize these interfaces face significant obstacles due to the …

Chemistry, Transport and Function of Ionic Phases in the Solid Electrolyte Interphase on Lithium Metal Anodes
… Despite much attention paid to engineering Li interfaces of late, there is still limited understanding of the desired chemical composition and structure of an improved Li SEI. One major challenge has been a lack of empirical data on individual SEI phases present at a metallic Li interface, …

Modeling and Interpretation of Fiber Orientation-Based Failure Mechanisms in Machining of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Composites
… are not fully understood. Many experimental and modeling techniques have been implemented to more fully explain the nature of the fiber failure mechanisms in the machining process, but these have fallen short of a complete understanding of the machining complexities. This research seeks to gain a …
