Why are most 2D lattices hexagonal? The stability of 2D lattices predicted by a simple mechanics model

Submitted by Bin Liu on

Published in Extreme Mechanics Letters: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eml.2019.100507. For more than half a century, physicists rejected the existence of two-dimensional (2D) materials since they theoretically underestimated the stability. However, the discovery of one-atom-thick graphene proved the inapplicability of this theory.

Reconstruction of Governing Equations from Vibration Measurements for Geometrically Nonlinear Systems

Submitted by Antonio Papangelo on

Data-driven system identification procedures have recently enabled the reconstruction of governing differential equations from vibration signal recordings. In this contribution, the sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics is applied to structural dynamics of a geometrically nonlinear system. First, the methodology is validated against the forced Duffing oscillator to evaluate its robustness against noise and limited data.
