Distorting crack-front geometry for enhanced toughness by manipulating bioinspired heterogeneity by Kaijin Wu, Zhaoqiang Song, Mengqi Liu, Zewen Wang, Si-Ming Chen, Shu-Hong Yu, Linghui He, Yong Ni

“…An anomalous nonlinear law of both the enhanced fracture resistance and the helical crack-front length versus the microstructural orientation is revealed, in contrast to the linear toughening law ignoring the hidden 3D topography within crack fronts. An optimization design protocol towards toughness amplification is developed by parametrically manipulating anisotropic heterogeneities to helically distort crack front. …”

Are queries and keys always relevant? A case study on transformer wave functions by Riccardo Rende, Luciano Loris Viteritti

“…Furthermore, through the analysis of the attention maps generated by standard attention mechanisms, we show that the attention weights become effectively input-independent at the end of the optimization. We support the numerical results with analytical calculations, providing physical insights of why queries and keys should be, in principle, omitted from the attention mechanism when studying large systems.…”
