Tendril-bearing climbing plants must recur to the tendril helices with chiral perversion or dual chirality for climbing and to obtain sun exposure. Despite researchers’ prolonged fascination with climbing tendrils since Darwin’s time and even earlier, why the soft and slender tendrils can bear heavy loads such as the self-weight of a plant or additional load caused by rain remains elusive. In this...
In this paper, the eigenvalue problem with multiple uncertain parameters is analyzed by the sparse grid stochastic collocation method. This method provides an interpolation approach to approximate eigenvalues and eigenvectors’ functional dependencies on uncertain parameters. This method repetitively evaluates the deterministic solutions at the pre-selected nodal set to construct a high-dimensional...
