Assessment of spatiotemporal changes in land use/land cover of North Kashmir Himalayas from 1992 to 2018
Under changing global scenarios, assessment of land use/land cover change becomes necessary. Geospatial technologies have been used extensively in many areas of the world for generating valuable information on...

Open AccessPlanar Equilibria of an Elastic Rod Wrapped Around a Circular Capstan
We present a study on planar equilibria of a terminally loaded elastic rod wrapped around a rigid circular capstan. Both frictionless and frictional contact between the rod and the capstan are considered. We i...

Open AccessA Ribbon Model for Nematic Polymer Networks
We present a theory of deformation of ribbons made of nematic polymer networks (NPNs). These materials exhibit properties of rubber and nematic liquid crystals, and can be activated by external stimuli of heat...

Open AccessBending and Stretching in a Narrow Ribbon of Nematic Polymer Networks
We study the spontaneous out-of-plane bending of a planar untwisted ribbon composed of nematic polymer networks activated by a change in temperature. Our theory accounts for both stretching and bending energie...
