It has been proposed in the literature, based on theoretical considerations and on finite-element calculations, that all three stress tensor invariants govern the yield surface of cellular materials. Recent experiments on 75 gm pore size aluminium replicat ...
We present a new descriptor and feature matching solution for omnidirectional images. The descriptor builds on the log-polar planar descriptors, but adapts to the specific geometry and non-uniform sampling density of spherical images. We further propose a ...
Aging affects elastin, a key component of the arterial wall integrity and functionality. Elastin degradation in cerebral vessels is associated with cerebrovascular disease. The goal of this study is to assess the biomechanical properties of human cerebral ...
Voids and He bubbles are strong obstacles to dislocation, which induce hardening and loss of ductility. In Fe, molecular dynamics simulation is used to investigate the basic mechanisms of the interaction between a moving edge dislocation and a void or He b ...
We attempted ultrasonic welding as a technique for the bonding of connectors to microfluidic devices. Different schemes of the method were explored based on different designs of the connectors to achieve a strong, minimal dead-volume connection. Results sh ...
We present a new approach to solar concentration where sunlight collected by each lens in a two-dimensional lens array is coupled into a shared, planar waveguide using localized features placed at each lens focus. This geometry yields a thin, flat profile ...
We extend a previously proposed spectral reflectance and transmittance prediction model for recto-verso prints to the case of multi-ink halftones. The model takes into account the multiple reflections and the lateral propagation of light within the paper s ...
The title compound, Co(C20H23N3O2)(C5H11N) or [Co{(Me-sal)(2)dien}(pprdn)] BPh4, where (Me-sal) 2dien is 2,2'[1,1'-(3-azapentane-1,5-diyldinitrilo)diethylidyne]diphenolate and pprdn is piperidine, contains a pentadentate (Me-sal) 2dien ligand fu ...
The goal of this study is to analyze mechanical behavior of a new scaffold composed of PLA/bTCP in revision knee arhtroplasty (RKA). For this purpose, finite element models of RKA was developed to study the importance of the geometry of bones, the fixation ...
We introduce a computational framework for discovering regular or repeated geometric structures in 3D shapes. We describe and classify possible regular structures and present an effective algorithm for detecting such repeated geometric patterns in point- o ...
