Rapid development of artificial intelligence requires the implementation of hardware systems with bioinspired parallel ...

Abstract: Quantitative elasticity imaging seeks to retrieve spatial maps of elastic moduli of tissue. Unlike strain, which is commonly imaged in compression elastography, elastic moduli are intrinsic ...

Abstract: In order to obtain a complete characterization and understanding of the structural, optical and mechanical properties of LYSO scintillanting crystals, we studied a mechanical, optical and ...

Aim: To measure corneal and scleral radii of curvature in response to intraocular pressure (IOP). Methods: Using digital photographic profile images of 16 fresh porcine eyes, the curvatures of the ...

Researchers have developed a hydrogel composed of poly(N-acryloylglycinamide) (PNAGAm) grafted with arginine (R)–glycine (G)–aspartic acid (D)–serine (S) peptide whose elastic modulus can be changed ...

Elasticity is one of the fundamental properties of alloys. Calculating various elastic constants bases on the elastic constant matrix. ABACUS cannot calculate elastic constants matrix yet. If IBRION=6 ...

The mechanism facilitating the smooth movement of the oceanic lithosphere over the underlying asthenosphere (upper mantle) remains poorly understood. Recently, researchers from Japan investigated the ...

The elastic responses of nuclear graphite not only depend on the graphitic content itself but are largely dictated by the microstructural constitution of the material. The types of raw materials ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 38 (September 22, 2020), pp. 23365-23373 (9 pages) The elastic and viscous properties of biological ...

Fibrin hydrogels have proven highly suitable scaffold materials for skeletal muscle tissue engineering in the past. Certain parameters of those types of scaffolds, however, greatly affect cellular ...

Crack surfaces are usually rough on various scales, and are sensitive to loading stresses and hence significantly affecting the mechanical properties of cracked rocks. We design a number of dry- and ...
