Abstract: This paper presents a numerical algorithm for finding the bang-bang control input associated with the time optimal solution of a class of nonlinear dynamic systems. The proposed algorithm directly ...

Abstract: Living tissues show an adaptive response to mechanical loading by changing their internal structure and morphology. Understanding this response is essential for successful tissue engineering of ...

Abstract: To optimize the mechanical properties and integrity of tissue-engineered aortic heart valves, it is necessary to gain insight into the effects of mechanical stimuli on the mechanical behavior ...
