Biomodels of bone: a review
(Springer, 2005)
In this paper, a definition of a biomodel is presented, based on which different specific types of biomodels are identified, viz., virtual biomodels, computational biomodels, and physical biomodels. The paper then focuses ...
Effect of hydroxyapatite on biodegradable scaffolds fabricated by SLS
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd., 2009)
Selective laser sintering (SLS) has the potential to fabricate bioresorbable polymer / ceramic composite scaffolds with pre-designed external and internal architecture that can be used for bone tissue engineering applications. ...
Supporting systems innovation
(World Scientific Publishing, 2000)
Many researchers and practitioners contend that organisations should respond to changing market need and create competitive advantage through innovation and creativity. Each year, organisations expend significant resources ...
Influence of seasonal circulation on flushing of the Irish Sea
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2009-12-16)
We applied a three-dimensional general ocean and coastal circulation model to the Irish Sea in order to determine water renewal time scales in the region. The model was forced with meteorological data for 1995, a year with ...
A combined experimental-numerical approach for generating statistically equivalent fibre distributions for high strength laminated composite materials
(Elsevier, 2009-11-04)
A technique is presented where actual experimental distributions, measured from a high strength carbon fibre composite, are considered in the development of a novel method to generate statistically equivalent fibre ...
Automated sorting of consumer image collections using face and peripheral region image classifiers
(IEEE, 2005)
An evaluation of techniques and recognition technologies for use in an automatic cataloging tool for consumer image collections is presented. A working implementation of an automatic cataloging tool and user search tools ...
Extension of the finite volume particle method to viscous flow
(Elsevier, 2009-03-20)
The finite volume particle method (FVPM) is a mesh-free method for fluid dynamics which allows simple and accurate implementation of boundary conditions and retains the conservation and consistency properties of classical ...
Models of flow-induced loading on blood cells in laminar and turbulent flow, with application to cardiovascular device flow
(Springer, 2007-08)
Viscous shear stress and Reynolds stress are often used to predict hemolysis and thrombosis due to flow-induced stress on blood elements in cardiovascular devices. These macroscopic stresses are distinct from the true ...
Effect of eddy length scale on mechanical loading of blood cells in turbulent flow
(2009)
Non-physiological turbulent blood flow is known to occur in and near implanted cardiovascular devices, but its effects on blood are poorly understood.
The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of turbulent ...
Permeable and Non-reflecting Boundary Conditions in SPH
(Wiley, 2009-11)
Inflow and outflow boundary conditions are essential for the application of computational fluid dynamics to many engineering scenarios. In this paper we present a new boundary condition implementation that enables the ...
