Abstract: We present a modeling and computational approach to study fusion of multicellular aggregates during tissue and organ fabrication, which forms the foundation for the scaffoldless biofabrication of tissues and organs known ...

Abstract: Acoustic sensitivity analysis is an essential technique to determine the direction of structural-acoustic optimization by evaluating the gradient of the objective functions with respect to the design variables. However, ...

Abstract: Development of an optimal systemic drug delivery strategy to the brain will require noninvasive or minimally invasive methods to quantify the permeability of the cerebral microvessel wall or bloodbrain barrier (BBB) to ...

Abstract: An approach to eigenvalue assignment for systems of linear time-invariant (LTI) delay differential equations (DDEs), based upon the solution in terms of the matrix Lambert W function, is applied ...

Abstract: A nonlinear continuum damage mechanics model is proposed to assess the high temperature creep life of a steam turbine rotor, in which the effect of mean stress is taken into account and the ...

Abstract: Oxidation kinetics of recently developed ferritic heat-resistant steels, HCM12A, NF616, and HCM2S, were investigated in a superheated steam to evaluate the effects of chemical composition of the ...

Abstract: In this study, a novel vibration isolator is presented. The presented isolator possesses the controllable stiffness and can be employed in vibration isolation at a low-resonance frequency. The controllable stiffness of the ...
