Abstract: This paper describes a combined numerical and experimental approach to the development of a software package for simulating the thermoforming process. In this process thin polymer sheets are ...

Abstract: While many congenital heart defects can be treated without significant long term sequelae, some achieve successful palliation as their definitive endpoints. The single-ventricle defect is one such ...

Abstract: Real-time dynamic substructuring, or hybrid testing, is a technique that enables experimental testing of critical elements of a complete structure. The structure in question is decomposed into at least two parts: the ...
