Finite element modeling of the human head under baton impact

Purpose: This research will try to predict damage probability and calculate the main stress resulted from baton impacts by finite element (FE) modeling of the human head considering skull texture, brain and cerebrospinal fluid.Materials and Methods: A three dimensional FE model of the skull-brain complex was constructed for simulating the baton impact. The FE analysis was carried out using ANSY...

Finite Element Modeling of a Plate with Localized Piezoelectric Sensors and Actuators

This paper presents the numerical modeling of a plate structure containing bonded piezoelectric material. Hamilton’s principle is employed to derive the finite element equations using the mechanical energy of the structure and the electrical energy of the piezoelectric material. Then, a numerical model is developed based on Kirchhoff’s plate theory. A computational program is implemented for an...

pH Sensitive Hydrogel Based Acrylic Acid for Controlled Drug Release

Hydrogels, due to their unique potentials such as high-water content and hydrophilicity are interest for the controlled release of drug molecules. The present study aims to create a controlled-release system through the preparation and characterization of hydrogels based on pH-sensitive polymers such as poly (acrylic acid). Poly (acrylic acid), p(AA), hydrogel has been synthesized by radical po...
