Abstract: Whether the next generation of submarines can operate more deeply depends on the feasibility of developing pressure hull structures sufficiently strong to resist intense external pressure, but ...

Abstract: Ocean and arctic engineers typically play three roles. Through research, they contribute new understandings of basic scientific principles applied in a strenuous and hostile environment. Through ...

Abstract: The issues of our time, increasingly laden with science and technology, are generally resolved by elected leaders as matters of public policy. With such decisions, questions arise as to how political leaders deal with ...

Abstract: As a follow-up to the work presented in (2010, “Numerical Modeling of Stress in Stenotic Arteries With Microcalcifications: A Micromechanical Approximation,” ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 132, p. 091011), ...

Abstract: Low-density polyethylene (PE) was grafted with maleic anhydride (MAH) in solution, which was proved by the infrared (IR) spectrum test result. The grafting ratio peaked at 3.3% as the grafting temperature maintained at ...

Abstract: The left ventricle (LV) of the heart is composed of a complex organization of cardiac muscle fibers, which contract to generate force and pump blood into the body. It has been shown that both the orientation and contractile ...

Abstract: Most finite element models of atherosclerotic arteries do not account for the heterogeneity of the plaque constituents at the microscale. Failure of plaque lesions has been shown to be a local ...

Abstract: Besides primarily carrying radial load, cylindrical roller bearings with flanges or lips on both inner and outer raceways need also carry axial load in some applications. Because of the axial ...
