A mathematical technique for representing solid objects. Unlike wireframe and surface modeling, solid modeling systems ensure that all surfaces meet properly and that the object is geometrically ...

Quasiparticles arise from the complex interaction of many particles in solids; for example, we describe lattice vibrations in ...

(Phys.org)—Phase transitions are transformations that occur between states of matter—that is, between solid, liquid, gas, and less commonly between gas and plasma. What may be surprising is that solid ...

Constitutive modelling of solid propellants seeks to describe the complex mechanical response of composite energetic formulations under varied loading, thermal and pressure conditions. These materials ...
