The use of physically-based models combined with image constraints for intraoperative guidance is important for surgical procedures that involve large-scale tissue deformation. A biomechanical model of tissue deformation is described in which surface positional constraints and internally generated forces are derived from endoscopic images and preoperative 4D CT data, respectively. Considering c...

Cold rolled sheet metal often used in laser forming exhibits anisotropic properties, which are mostly caused by preferred orientations of grains developed during the severe plastic deformation. In present study, the textures of cold-rolled mild steel sheets are characterized and the influence of the plastic anisotropy on laser forming process is investigated. Deformation textures are measured i...

The entire recrystallisation process of a cold-rolled WE43 Mg alloy containing a high density of shear bands was tracked using a quasi-in-situ electron backscatter diffraction method. The results showed the resultant recrystallised texture arose principally from recrystallisation within shear bands rather than from deformation twins, which made a negligible contribution to the final texture. On...

Triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB) is a highly anisotropic molecular crystal used in several plastic-bonded explosive (PBX) formulations. A complete understanding of the orientation distribution of TATB particles throughout a PBX charge is required to understand spatially variable, anisotropic macroscale properties of the charge. Although texture of these materials can be measured after they have b...

Abstract. Texture, plastic deformation, and phase transformation mechanisms in perovskite post-perovskite are of general interest for our understanding the Earth's mantle. Here, analogue NaCoF3 is deformed a resistive-heated diamond anvil cell (DAC) up to 30 GPa 1013 K. The situ state sample, including crystal structure, stress, texture, monitored using X-ray diffraction. A from structure obser...
