–-damage formulation, where only the anisotropic elastic part is assumed to damage. The resulting coupled, highly non-linear system of equations is symmetric and can conveniently be solved by standard incremental-iterative…
Nonlinear complex dynamical system 1 Introduction Flow affects the blood vessel responses in many ways, through mechanotransduction mechanisms, or by modifying the interactions between blood-borne agonists and cell receptors, especially…
Fig. 1 Illustration of the RVE generating algorithm. Material is agglomerated randomly around existing material While the volume fraction is directly regulated, the RVE structure develops indirectly by the number…
Fig. 1 Cross-section of the stent mesh, the coating, and the arterial wall: geometrical configuration and reference system (figure not to scale) Our results demonstrate a strong coupling of the…

around the vertical axis (Y) fitting the histological data. As a result, we obtained a cochlea similar to the one presented in (Fig. 3). One of the advantages of the method…
(IFN- induction. The results showed that inflammatory signals can be detected by in vivo imaging after subcutaneous implantation of biocompatible or immune stimulatory implants. However, there were specific differences depending…
v. 971 (LSTC, Livermore, CA, USA). The methods will be divided in two main sections: the first section will concern the realization of the AR models and the analysis of…
