This study aimed to model phenomenologically the dynamics of arterial wall remodeling under hypertensive conditions. Sustained hypertension was simulated by a step increase in blood pressure. The arterial wall was considered to be a thick-walled tube made ...
The strength and reliability of a 3-D unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite containing an initial defect in the form of a cluster of initial fiber breaks are studied analytically and by simulation. The simulation model uses a Monte Carlo technique base ...
The initial compaction under uniaxial hot-pressing conditions of titanium monotapes containing silicon carbide fibres is studied for variable matrix/fibre volume ratio, temperature (800-950 degrees C) and compaction stress (10-40 MPa). The matrix compactio ...
We report here torsional analysis of rotationally resolved spectra of the 3 nu(1), 5 nu(1), and 6 nu(1) (OH stretch) bands of jet-cooled methanol. The upper states are reached by a double resonance excitation scheme involving the selection of single rotati ...
A theoretical model and numerical methods were developed for testing different bone internal remodelling stimuli. The keystone of the study was the formulation of a stimulus based on the mechanical invariants of the stress tensor, which took into account b ...
This paper describes a stator flux oriented control strategy using state space controllers. The optimal determination of the different controllers parameters leads to an independent control of the stator flux and the torque. The effects of undesired offset ...
Two:dimensional time-dependent calculations for a molecular model of finite extensibility in the journal-bearing geometry are presented. The flow is considered to be incompressible and isothermal. The momentum conservation equation is integrated using a ti ...
Piezoelectric membranes consisting of sputter deposited PbZrXTi1-XO3 (PZT) films on silicon diaphragms have been investigated for their resonance and piezoelectrical properties, in view of their application as stator of a micromotor. The behavior of resona ...
Energy balance and reciprocity relations are studied for harmonic inhomogeneous plane waves that are incident upon a stack of continuous absorbing dielectric media that are macroscopically characterized by their electric and magnetic permittivities and the ...
A specific choice of gauge is shown to imply a decoupling between the tensor and scalar components of gravitational radiation in the context of Brans–Dicke-type theories of gravitation. The comparison of the predictions of these theories with those of gene ...
