Near-wall hemodynamic parameters quantification in in vitro intracranial aneurysms with 7 T PC-MRI

ObjectiveWall shear stress (WSS) and its derived spatiotemporal parameters have proven to play a major role on intracranial aneurysms (IAs) growth and rupture. This study aims to demonstrate how ultra-high field (UHF) 7 T phase contrast magnetic resonance ...

Wrist-driven passive grasping: interaction-based trajectory adaption with a compliant anthropomorphic hand

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kieran Daniel Gilday

The structure of the human musculo-skeletal systems shows complex passive dynamic properties, critical for adaptive grasping and motions. Through wrist and arm actuation, these passive dynamic properties can be exploited to achieve nuanced and diverse envi ...

A numerical study on the coupled hydro-mechanical behaviour of compacted bentonite

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Jose Antonio Bosch Llufriu

Understanding the mechanical behaviour of compacted bentonite upon re-saturation is of outmost importance in most designs of nuclear waste disposal repositories. The behaviour of bentonite is characterized by its stress-path dependency and it is typically ...

Real-time management of berth allocation with stochastic arrival and handling times

Michel Bierlaire, Nitish Umang

In this research we study the berth allocation problem (BAP) in real time as disruptions occur. In practice, the actual arrival times and handling times of the vessels deviate from their expected or estimated values, which can disrupt the original berthing ...

On the early stages of precipitation in dilute Mg–Nd alloys

Anirudh Raju Natarajan

We report on a first-principles and experimental study of precipitation in supersaturated solid solutions of Mg-rich Mg–Nd alloys. A cluster expansion Hamiltonian combined with Monte Carlo simulations was used to calculate a metastable HCP temperature-comp ...
