Rigidity Analysis of Protein Molecules
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intrinsic flexibility of protein molecules enables them to change their 3D structure and perform their specific task. Therefore, identifying rigid regions and consequently flexible regions of proteins has a significant ...
Automated Finite Element Analysis of Tree Branches
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Finite element analysis (FEA) has been one of the successful tools in studying mechanical behavior of biological materials. There are many instances where creating FE models requires extensive time and effort. Such instances ...
