Percutaneous implants are a family of devices that penetrate the skin and suffer from infection-mediated device failure caused by lack of integration/adhesion at the skin/device …
Stress-reduction, creep, grain-growth, and attenuation experiments were conducted on polycrystalline water ice to examine the links amongst microstructural steady-state, the mechanical response to transient loading, …
This work presents multiscale modeling of blood flow and polymer suspensions which requires the use of heterogeneous modeling approaches. A hybrid method based on coupling …
The force-coupling method (FCM) represents the dynamics of low Reynolds number suspension flows through a low-order, regularized multipole expansion and provides an effcient,matrix-free method to …
The rheology of the lower continental crust profoundly affects our understanding of crustal dynamics, lithospheric curst/mantle coupling, and seismic hazards. However, the effect of processes …
Experiments were conducted in a Griggs-type deformation apparatus at high temperature and pressure to determine the effects of fluids on rock rheology. In the first …
