In multi-scale topology optimization methods, the analysis encompasses two distinct scales: the macro-scale and the micro-scale. The macro-scale refers to the overall size and dimensions of the structural domain being studied, while the micro-scale perta...

Due to the nature of their deployment, very few people know the location and course of a submarine during its time at sea, including only a handful of the ship?s crew. The possibility of immediate retaliation by the UK and her allies is aided by the subm...
