Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance, increasing in prevalence with age. During the past 20 years, there has been a 66% increase in hospital admissions related to atrial fibrillation. Neither the natural history of at ...
From airplanes to sailboats to bridges, composite materials have become a significant part of our everyday structures. With increasing demand, these materials are pushed to their limits to improve structural efficiency. As a consequence, research and devel ...
The purpose of this thesis is to characterize internal strains in polymeric materials due to consolidation. In view of this, optical Fiber Bragg Grating sensors are an excellent non-destructive tool for internal strain characterization and damage detection ...
Muscular arteries possess the ability to control actively their lumen by altering the tone of the smooth muscle cells of the arterial wall, a property which is vital for a large number of the hemodynamical functions of the body. Arterial contraction is due ...
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of human arrhythmia. Beside its clinical description as absolute arrhythmia, its diagnosis has been assessed for years by visual inspection of the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). Due to the much higher ampl ...
The determination of the thermal and athermal stress components using relaxation experiments along a stress-strain curve is critically evaluated. Short-term stress-relaxations are performed along the stress-strain curve of single crystals of Ge at 850 K, C ...
A growing body of evidence suggests that the sensory information from the cytoskeleton and integrins may be responsible for guiding migration during mechano- and haptotaxis. However, the dual function of these subcellular structures as mechano-sensors and ...
The three-dimensional biomechanical behavior of the vascular wall is best described by means of strain energy functions. Significant effort has been devoted lately in the development of structure-based models of the vascular wall, which account for the ind ...
Smooth muscle and endothelial cells in the arterial wall are exposed to mechanical stress. Indeed blood flow induces intraluminal pressure variations and shear stress. An increase in pressure may induce a vessel contraction, a phenomenon known as the myoge ...
This work addresses nonlinear finite element analysis of laminated structures with weak interfaces. Considered first are shallow laminated beams subject to arbitrary large displacements, small layer strains and moderate interface slippage. Under these requ ...
