A measurement technique using flexible PVDF gages for characterizing the propagation of pressure waves in biological tissues is developed. We demonstrated that experimental measurements, coupled with numerical simulations, represent a promising method to o ...

Therapies using so called extracorporeal shock waves (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy ESWT) have become current medical practice in orthopedy and traumatology. In order to understand and to optimize the effect of shock waves in clinical applications, med ...
Shore protection in confined water bodies is of major importance in Switzerland where many lakes suffer severe shore erosion. It occurs mainly in shallow zones due to several reasons such as: the fluctuations of the water level , the wind-wave impact durin ...
This paper first presents a method to estimate Newell's car-following model parameters in congestion at a microscopic scale. I-80 NGSim data analysis shows that at this scale driving behaviors vary from one vehicle to the another. Then, relations between s ...
The onset of undamped wave propagation in noisy self-oscillatory media is identified with a Hopf bifurcation of the corresponding effective dynamical system obtained by properly renormalizing the effect of noise. We illustrate this fact on a dense array of ...
Plane wave propagation in a chiral lattice is investigated through the application of Bloch's theorem. Two-dimensional dispersion relations are estimated and analyzed to illustrate peculiar properties of chiral or non-centrosymmetric configurations and inv ...

Periodic arrays of shunted, piezoelectric patches are employed to control waves propagating over the surface of plate structures, and corresponding vibrations. The shunted, piezoelectric patches act as sources of impedance mismatch, which gives rise to int ...
The two-dimensional two-phase Navier-Stokes equations, volume of fluid technique and a two-equation turbulence closure model were used to predict wave breaking and runup, and compared with experimental data. Comparison of the results with a corresponding s ...
Aim of the study: This work develops a measurement technique for pressure waves in soft tissues. It aims at characterizing, understanding and modeling the generation and propagation of pressure waves in soft tissues, with a view towards medical application ...

A comparative study on the two different kinds of ultrasonic linear motors (ULM), standing and travelling wave types, is described. Analytical modeling using the wave theory and the contact mechanisms is presented. The former is used to describe the wave p ...
