While deformable object modeling has been studied by computer graphics specialists for more than two decades, only a few applications in the field of surgical simulation have been developed which provide both real-time and physically realistic modeling of complex, nonlinear tissue deformations. Particularly in craniofacial surgery, the prediction of soft-tissue changes—which result from alterat...

the object of this work is to present a study of the thermomechanical behavior of the automobile disc brake for the prediction of their resistance to fatigue. then, a study of purely mechanical dry contact between the disc and pads is developed with a good prediction becomes a major stake for the industrialists while modeling the loading and the boundary conditions around the disc.we used the s...

This paper deals with modeling of plasma cutting process using artificial neural network (ANN). The objective was to develop an ANN model in order to predict the ten-point height of irregularities (Rz) in terms of three input parameters, cutting current, plate thickness and cutting speed. To this aim, a feed-forward backpropagation ANN was developed and trained using the experimental data. Afte...

The paper overviews the development of a selflearning computing chip in 0.18 micron copper technology. This chip supercedes, in its capabilities, present micro-computing paradigms (micro-processors, micro-controllers, and DSPs) in the application domains of process identification, modeling, prediction, and real-time control. In particular, specific domains of targeted potential applications inc...

Modeling the diffusion of information on social media has mainly been treated as a diffusion process on known graphs, and under closed world assumptions. We introduce here a new approach to this problem whose principle is to learn a mapping of the observed interacting users onto a latent representation space in such a way that information diffusion can be modeled efficiently using a heat diffus...

Wind power technology has been developing widely in recent years. Several research fields in power systems such as prediction of wind speed, wind generator system modeling, system stability and control of wind energy conversion system are emphasized further with the consideration of wind power. With increasing penetration level in power system, the issue concerning the influence of wind power o...
