This paper describes an effort to develop timestepping methods for partial differential equations that can overcome the difficulties that existing methods have with stiffness of the system of ordinary differential equations that results from spatial discretization. Stiffness is caused by the contrasting behavior of coupled components of the solution, and makes “one-size-fits-all” polynomial and...

Pathological fibrosis is driven by a feedback loop in which the fibrotic extracellular matrix is both a cause and consequence of fibroblast activation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly understood. Here we identify yes-associated protein (YAP) (homolog of drosophila Yki) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) (also known as Wwtr1), tra...

Cells secrete and assemble extracellular matrix throughout development, giving rise to time-dependent, tissue-specific stiffness. Mimicking myocardial matrix stiffening, i.e. ~10-fold increase over 1 week, with a hydrogel system enhances myofibrillar organization of embryonic cardiomyocytes compared to static hydrogels, and thus we sought to identify specific mechanosensitive proteins involved....

Determining which time point is optimal for bone marrow-derived cell (BMC) transplantation for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has attracted a great deal of attention. Studies have verified the interaction between cell treatment effect and transfer timing and have suggested that the optimal time frame for BMC therapy is day 4 to day 7 after AMI. However, the potential mechanism underlying the...

This paper discusses static stability of a planar object grasped by multifingers with three joints. Each individual joint (prismatic joint or revolute joint) is modeled as a linear spring stiffness. The object mass and the link masses are also included. We consider not only pure rolling contact but also frictionless sliding contact. The grasp stability is investigated using the potential energy...

Proportional damping is a widely used approach to model dissipative forces in complex engineering structures and it has been used in various dynamic problems for more than ten decades. A major limitation of the mass and stiffness proportional damping approximation is the lack of generality of the model to allow for experimentally observed variation of damping factors with respect to vibration f...

In this paper we develop an efficient numerical method for the finite-element model updating of damped gyroscopic systems based on incomplete complex modal measured data. It is assumed that the analytical mass and stiffness matrices are correct and only the damping and gyroscopic matrices need to be updated. By solving a constrained optimization problem, the optimal corrected symmetric damping ...

This paper presents a symbolic and recursive calculation of the stiffness and mass matrices of parallel robots. In order to reduce the computational time required for simulating the elastodynamic behavior of robots, it is necessary to minimize the number of operators in the symbolic model expression. Some algorithms have been proposed for the rigid case or for parallel robots with lumped spring...

Electrospinning is a simple and efficient method of fabricating a non-woven polymeric nanofiber matrix. However, using fluorinated alcohols as a solvent for the electrospinning of proteins often results in protein denaturation. TEM and circular dichroism analysis indicated a massive loss of triple-helical collagen from an electrospun collagen (EC) matrix, and the random coils were similar to th...

This paper presents a direct substructuring method to reduce the computing time of implicit simulations of single point incremental forming (SPIF). Substructuring is used to divide the finite element (FE) mesh into several non-overlapping parts. Based on the hypothesis that plastic deformation is localized, the substructures are categorized into two groups: the plastic—nonlinear—substructures a...
