This study investigates the fluid–structure interaction of two coaxial cylinders separated by a Newtonian fluid under turbulent axial flow. The theoretical framework treats the inner cylinder as a rigid body mounted on a flexible blade modeled as a Rayleigh beam. The goals of this study are to determine the free vibration modes and frequencies, identify the fluid-elastic instability threshold, and establish an analytical expression for the mean-square displacement of the structure.

We have a new, slightly different perspective on the basis of size-dependent, finite-deformation crystal plasticity. If you are interested and have time to check it out, I’ll be happy to discuss it:

Many xeric plant leaves exhibit bending and twisting morphology, which may contribute to their important biological and physical functions adapted to drought and desert conditions. Revealing the relationships between various morphologies and functionalities can inspire device designs for meeting increasingly stringent environmental requirements.

Prof. Oreste Bursi, Full Professor at the University of Trento (Italy) and Dr. Davide Noè Gorini, Assistant Professor at the University of Trento, are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join their research group on Hazard protection of Civil Engineering Structures.

Biological tissues with core–shell structures usually exhibit non-uniform curvatures such as toroidal geometry presenting interesting features containing positive, zero, and negative Gaussian curvatures within one system, which give rise to intriguing instability patterns distinct from those observed on uniformly curved surfaces. Such varying curvatures would dramatically affect the growing morphogenesis.

Length of regular research papers should be less than 4000 words; total number of figures is limited to 6.

Submissions not in compliance with the limits will be automatically “rejected without review”.

If the editors feel the submission has scientific merits but over the page/figure limits, they can suggest that the authors reformat the article (reduce or combine figures, reduce length) and resubmit. In that case, the authors should resubmit to the same editor since the submission may be flagged for “duplicate submission”.
