TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of non-uniform chordwise stiffness distribution on the self-propulsive performance of three-dimensional flexible plates is studied numerically, and a common optimal K at which all the plates achieve their optimal performance, i.e., the highest cruising speed and efficiency.

TL;DR: The correlations in the fluctuations of the NADs confirm the long-range strain correlation and the scale-free characteristic of NADs in both elastic and plastic deformation, which suggests a universality of the scaling in the plastic flow in MGs.

TL;DR: Two different regimes of activation-volume increment between the peaks are observed, suggesting the involvement of different elements in STZs corresponding to α vs β relaxations, suggesting room-temperature structural relaxation significantly affects the former but not the latter.

TL;DR: This work offers an insight into the equilibrium effect of the single-particle dynamics in glass transition by finding that a pronounced enhancement of the spatial correlation of jumps occurs accompanied by the glass transition: the string-like cooperative jumps dominate the fast motion instead of the uncorrelated and individual jumps.

TL;DR: In this paper, the locomotion of a flapping flexible plate with different shapes and non-uniform chordwise stiffness distribution in a stationary fluid is studied numerically, and the normalized effective bending stiffness for three-dimensional plates with arbitrary stiffness distribution and shape parameters is proposed.
