Abstract: To present the ligament effects on sacroiliac joint (SIJ) stability and human pelvis biomechanical characteristics in two different positions by using three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models of pelvis. Based on ...

Abstract: An improved heat balance nodal model is proposed to predict the inner wall temperature profiles and calculate the stratified air-conditioning load in large spaces. The model aims to weaken the correlation between load ...

Abstract: In this work, the random vibration characteristics of a beaded rope under a concentrated load are investigated. A stochastic model describing the sawing force of a single diamondbeaded rope was established, based on the ...

Abstract: Various plants have the ability to follow the sun with their flowers or leaves via a mechanism known as heliotropism, which is powered by pressure gradients between neighboring motor cells. Adapting this bio-inspired ...

Abstract: Coefficients of restitution (CoR) is used to scale the kinetic energy dissipation, which is a necessary parameter for discrete element modeling simulations of granular flow. Differences from the collision of spherical ...

Abstract: Originated from the art of paper cutting and folding, kirigami and origami have shown promising applications in a broad range of scientific and engineering fields. Developments of kirigami-inspired inverse design methods ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) is gaining prominence across numerous fields, which involves the generation of extensive data at each process stage. A relational database is a useful tool to store such AM data and streamline ...
