Shear instability in skin tissue
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We propose two toy-models to describe, predict and interpret the wrinkles appearing on the surface of skin when it is sheared. With the first model, we account for the lines of greatest tension present in human skin by ...
A combined experimental and numerical study of stab-penetration forces
(Elsevier, 2013-12)
The magnitude of force used in a stabbing incident can be difficult to quantify, although the estimate given by forensic pathologists is often seen as 'critical' evidence in medico-legal situations. The main objective of ...
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in simple shear at dynamic strain rates
(Elsevier, 2013-12)
During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a rapid and complex deformation, which can be seen as a mixture of compression, tension and shear. Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) occurs in animals and humans when ...
On anisotropic elasticity and questions concerning its Finite Element implementation
(Springer, 2013-05-21)
We give conditions on the strain-energy function of nonlinear anisotropic hyperelastic materials that ensure compatibility with the classical linear theories of anisotropic elasticity. We uncover the limitations associated ...
Deficiencies in numerical models of anisotropic nonlinearly elastic materials
(Springer, 2013-08)
Incompressible nonlinearly hyperelastic materials are rarely simulated in finite element numerical experiments as being perfectly incompressible because of the numerical difficulties associated with globally satisfying ...
In vivo correlation mapping microscopy
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2016-03)
To facilitate regular assessment of the microcirculation in vivo, noninvasive imaging techniques such as nailfold capillaroscopy are required in clinics. Recently, a correlation mapping technique has been applied to optical ...
Glycoclusters as lectin inhibitors: comparative analysis on two plant agglutinins with different folding as a step towards rules for selectivity
(Elsevier, 2015-09-23)
The emerging physiological significance of carbohydrate (glycan) protein (lectin) recognition engenders the interest to design synthetic inhibitors with a high level of selectivity among natural sugar receptors. Plant ...
Molecular simulation of hydrophobin adsorption at an oil-water interface
(American Chemical Society, 2012-05-16)
Hydrophobins are small, amphiphilic proteins expressed by strains of filamentous fungi. They fulfill a number of biological functions, often related to adsorption at hydrophobic interfaces, and have been investigated for ...
Kernel principal component analysis residual diagnosis (KPCARD): an automated method to remove cosmic ray artefacts in Raman spectra.
(2016)
A new, fully automated, rapid method, referred to as kernel principal component analysis residual diagnosis (KPCARD), is proposed for removing cosmic ray artifacts (CRAs) in Raman spectra, and in particular for large Raman ...
On stress-dependent elastic moduli and wave speeds
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
On the basis of the general non-linear theory of a hyperelastic material with initial stress, initially without consideration of the origin of the initial stress, we determine explicit expressions for the stress-dependent ...
