Abstract: We have been developing a virtual surgery system that is capable of simulating surgical maneuvers on elastic organs. In order to perform such maneuvers, we have created a deformable organ ...

Abstract: The properties of force-sensing micro-cantilevers are of fundamental importance for measurements employing atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. Due to the well-known arguments of Sader, ...

Bolted joints are among the most common structural elements in precision machinery. They are used because they are strong, serviceable and reliable. Yet, despite their prevalence, the moment stiffness ...

FElupe is an open, Python-based finite element infrastructure for nonlinear computational solid mechanics, providing high-level and extensible workflows for research and engineering applications. A ...

At 11:03 A.M. on April 17, 2018, metal fatigue caused a fan blade to break off inside the left engine of Southwest flight 1380 en route from New York to Dallas at 32,000 feet. The rupture blew the ...

Background: Posterior internal fixation is the main method used for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures. Fractures often occur in the upper 1/3 of the vertebral body. However, they can also occur ...

Soil-facing mechanical interactions play an important role in the behavior of earth-retaining walls. Generally, numerical analysis of earth-retaining structures requires the use of interface elements ...
