Bone fracture is a very common body injury. The healing process is physiologically complex, involving both biological and mechanical aspects. Following a fracture, cell migration, cell/tissue differentiation, tissue synthesis, and cytokine and growth factor release occur, regulated by the mechanical environment. Over the past decade, bone healing simulation and modeling has been employed to und...

Many engineering design applications require geometric modeling and mechanical simulation of thin flexible structures, such as those found in the automotive and aerospace industries. Traditionally, geometric modeling, mechanical simulation, and engineering design are treated as separate modules requiring different methods and representations. Due to the incompatibility of the involved represent...

The development of full displacement field measurements as an alternative to the optical lever technique to measure the mechanical response for MEMS components in their environment calls for a modeling of chemically-induced mechanical fields (i.e., stress, strain, and displacements). As these phenomena usually arise from species adsorption, adsorbate modification or surface reconstruction, they...

The first part of paper describes step by step installation of Switched Reluctance Motor & its drive. A special procedure for installation (Mechanical as well as Electrical) is developed in order to reduce acoustic noise, EMI interference and torque ripple of a motor. A serious electrical interference problem is solved using special designed screened cable. The second part of paper describes dy...
