Molecular dynamics is a popular method for evaluating the tensile stress behaviors of many nanomaterials; however, few manuscripts include their thermostat and barostat damping parameters along with their methods. Here, we illustrate the demonstrable effect that barostat integration has on system dynamics during uniaxial testing under a Nosé-Hoover scheme. Three systems are tested: a 2D graphene sheet, a 3D continuous aluminum volume, and a 3D discontinuous polyvinyl alcohol volume. Isobaric-isothermal (NPT) and isochoric-isothermal (NVT) integration methods are intrinsically related, with high NPT barostat damping parameters converging on the NVT system. As a result, slight variations in barostat damping parameters may elicit different stress responses with higher damping parameters directly linked to increased levels of triaxial strain.

The phenomenon of snaking of vehicles can be caused by many factors. It results from the loss of the vehicle's straight-line direction of motion, which is intended by the driver. In this situation, for single-mass vehicles (like automobiles), special systems (braking) are activated, aiming to return the vehicle to the direction intended by the driver.

The dynamics of the convergence for the stationary state considering a Duffing-like equation are investigated. The driven potential for these dynamics is supplied by a damped forced oscillator that has a piecewise linear function. Fixed points and their basins of attraction were identified and measured.

Non-Newtonian fluids are also widely used in a variety of scientific, engineering, and industrial domains, including the petroleum sector and polymer technologies. They are vital in the development of drag-reducing agents, damping and braking systems, food manufacturing, personal protective equipment, and the printing industry. Fluid movement and transport via porous materials draw a lot of attention; they are important in science and technology.

The design parameters of the dynamic vibration absorber significantly affect the motion performance of the main vibration system. The Brock's approaching zero method was improved as approaching the fixed point frequency method. A general method of obtaining the explicit exact solution to the optimum damping ratio was presented to improve the accuracy of calculating the dynamic vibration absorber's optimum parameter.
