Effective continuum models for the buckling of non-periodic architected sheets that display quasi-mechanism behaviors

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Connor McMahan, Andrew Akerson, Paolo Celli, Basile Audoly, Chiara Daraio | Summary: In this work, we construct an effective continuum model for architected sheets that are composed of bulky tiles connected by slender elastic joints. Due to their mesostructure, these sheets feature quasi-mechanisms — low-energy local kinematic […]

A shock near the virial radius of the Perseus Cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Zhenlin Zhu, Aurora Simionescu, Hiroki Akamatsu, Xiaoyuan Zhang, Jelle S. Kaastra | Summary: Previous X-ray studies of the Perseus Cluster, consisting of 85 Suzaku pointings along eight azimuthal directions, revealed a particularly steep decrease in the projected temperature profile near the virial radius (~r200) towards the […]
