On the attitude stability of flying dandelion seeds (2023)
Journal Article
Qin, L., Jian, Z., Xu, Y., & Ma, L. (2023). On the attitude stability of flying dandelion seeds. Physics of Fluids, 35(8), Article 081904. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0160735

Dandelion seeds possess a complex three-dimensional structure and a self-adapted flying ability. To understand this fascinating flight mechanism, a three-dimensional umbrella-shaped model imitating dandelion seeds is proposed. The effects of folding...

Formulation for zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) reinforced metal matrix composites based on a three-phase concentric inclusion model (2023)
Journal Article
Yan, J., Ma, L., & Wang, J. (2023). Formulation for zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) reinforced metal matrix composites based on a three-phase concentric inclusion model. Mechanics of Materials, 181, Article 104660. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mechmat.2023.104660

In this paper, a model of a coated inhomogeneous circular inclusion concentrically embedded within a finite matrix is proposed, which is employed to analyze zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) reinforced metal matrix composites. The general solution is... Read More about Formulation for zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) reinforced metal matrix composites based on a three-phase concentric inclusion model.
