Many physical quantities can provide useful information of a shell structure, such as nuclear masses and nuclear charge radii. This paper introduces three kinds of local relations, i.e., the NpNn scheme respectively for the quadrupole deformation parameter and the excitation energy of the first 2+, 4+, 6+ states, the (\u03b1N\u2032n+N\u2032p) relation for nuclear charge radii and \u03b1 decay energies, and the so-called \u201cnonpairing\u201d relation for binding energies and nuclear charge radii. All these relations reflect the evolution of nuclear structures, involving shells, subshells, shape coexistence, phase transition and the Wigner effect. Some results from different models can be verified with each other.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13122253","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]],"date-time":"2021-12-01T03:12:40Z","timestamp":1638328360000},"page":"2253","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Nuclear Structure Evolution Reflected from Local Relations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8714-715X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Man","family":"Bao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai 200093, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai 200093, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"165","DOI":"10.1038\/130165a0","article-title":"Nuclear Structure","volume":"130","author":"Bartlett","year":"1932","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"370","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRev.41.370.2","article-title":"Structure of Atomic Nuclei","volume":"41","author":"Bartlett","year":"1932","journal-title":"Phys.
