Introduction: Nano-indentation has recently been employed as a powerful tool for determining the mechanical properties of biological tissues on nano and micro scales. A majority of soft biological tissues such as ligaments and tendons exhibit viscoelastic or time-dependent behaviors. The constitutive characterization of soft tissues is among very important subjects in clinical medicine and espe...

whereas in electrical discharge machining (edm) the heat flux entering the workpiece is extremely high, the fourier heat conduction model may fails. this article reports on determination of temperature distribution in the workpiece due to edm using non-fourier heat conduction model. equations are solved by deriving the numerical solution. the temperature layers and profiles of sample calculatio...

We consider Waveform Relaxation (WR) methods for parallel and partitioned time-integration of surface-coupled multiphysics problems. WR allows independent time-discretizations on adaptive time-grids, while maintaining high orders. Classical such as Jacobi or Gauss-Seidel are typically either converge quickly. present a novel method utilizing asynchronous communication techniques to get both pro...
