There is a need to identify biomarkers that predict degree of chronic speech fluency/language impairment and potential for improvement after stroke. We previously showed that the Arcuate Fasciculus lesion load (AF-LL), a combined variable of lesion site and size, predicted speech fluency in patients with chronic aphasia. In the current study, we compared lesion loads of such a structural map (i...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the buckling behavior porous Functionally Graded Materiel (FGM) cylindrical shells based on Donnell shell theory. In context, we develop an explicit analytical expression which takes into consideration effect porosities through thickness structure and that elastic foundation using a modified power-law function models Winkler Pasternak, respectively. We us...

Transient wave processes in viscoelastic structures built from functionally graded material (FGM) still remain almost unexplored. In this article, the problem of propagation nonstationary longitudinal waves an infinite layer a FGM with plane–parallel boundaries is considered. The physical and mechanical parameters depend continuously on transverse coordinate, while process propagates along same...

Computer simulation and FEM analysis of the stress-strain state thin plates thin-walled cylindrical shells, weakened by a circular hole in presence an annular inclusion functionally graded material (FGM) surrounding it, have been carried out. The influence dimensions FGM-inclusion law change its elastic modulus on concentration parameters shells vicinity is studied. distribution stress strain i...

Alumina has received considerable attention and has been historically wellaccepted as biomaterials for dental and medical applications. This article reviews the applications of this material in dentistry. It presents a brief history, dental applications and methods for improving the mechanical properties of aluminabased materials. It also offers perspectives on recent research aimed at the furt...

Despite advances in surgical methods, postsurgical adhesions (PSA) remain a significant clinical challenge affecting millions of patients each year. These permanent fibrous connections between tissues result from the bridging of wounded internal surfaces by an extended fibrin gel matrix (FGM). Adhesion formation is a result of a systems level convergence of wound healing pathways, complicating ...

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of multi-material and functionally graded materials (FGM) has attracted significant research interest due to its ability fabricate components with superior performance compared those manufactured single material. However, the forming mechanisms various defects remain unknown. In this paper, a DEM-CFD model was first established obtain an in-depth understanding pro...

Abstract In this study we present a numerical approach to solve steady-state heat conduction problems in functionally graded materials (FGMs). Two different types of material gradations are considered for spatially varying thermal conductivity FGM: (1) Quadratic gradation; (2) Exponential gradation. The proposed procedure is based on finite-difference method and developed the equation over gene...

Abstract In this work, the state -space nonlocal strain gradient theory is used for vibration analysis of magneto thermo piezoelectric functionally graded material (FGM) nanobeam. An FGM constituent properties stated by using power law relations. The refined higher order beam and Hamilton’s principle have been to obtain motion equations. Besides, governing equations nanobeam are extracted devel...

In this study, the mechanical behaviours of thick-walled hollow functionally graded material (FGM) cylinder subjected to uniform pressures at inner and outer surfaces are proposed. The FGM has variable geometric profile, thickness properties like elastic modulus mass density all assumed vary radially according exponentially-varying functions in radial direction.
