CURSIVE WORDS TAL STEINHERZ, NATHAN INTRATOR Tel-Aviv University Ramat Aviv 69978, Israel (talstz,nin)@math.tau.ac.il EHUD RIVLIN Department of Computer Science Technion Haifa 32000, Israel [email protected] We present a novel approach for nding a pseudo-skeleton of a cursive word's image. This pseudo-skeleton preserves all the necessary components of a cursive word such as: loops, curves...

The boundary value problem (BVP) for a class of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is examined. It can be used to describe the eversion problem for a spherical shell composed of a class of transversely isotropic incompressible Mooney-Rivlin materials. The solutions of the nonlinear equation describing the relation among deformed thickness, initial thickness and material parameters of the...

Harmonic wave excitation in a semi-infinite incompressible hyperelastic 1D rod with the Mooney–Rivlin equation of state reveals formation and propagation shock fronts arising between faster slower moving parts initially harmonic wave. The observed result collapse being absorbed by parts; hence, to attenuation kinetic elastic strain energy corresponding heat generation. Both geometrically physic...

In this paper we assume determination of pseudo-viscosity coefficients of visco-elastic non-Newtonian fluid flow directly near the cooperating micro-bearing surface. We show the constitutive stress-strain dependencies of nonNewtonian visco-elastic media with regard to the content of addition of nano-particles. The greater content of nano-particles and influences of superficial layer of cooperat...

Computational Structural Dynamics (CSD) simulations, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, and Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) simulations were carried out in an anatomically realistic model of a saccular cerebral aneurysm with the objective of quantifying the effects of type of simulation on principal fluid and solid mechanics results. Eight CSD simulations, one CFD simulation, and ...

I made a detailed comparative examination of five mathematical models of left ventricular (LV) mechanics: the Laplace model, Lame model, Valanis-Landel model, Rivlin-Saunders model, and a nonhomogeneous version of the Valanis-Landel model. All five models are used to predict LV pressurevolume (P-V) and pressure-wall stress (P-S) behavior using the same geometric and stress-strain data (rat data...

We find the spatial variation of material parameters for pressurized cylinders and spheres composed of either an incompressible Hookean, neo-Hookean, or Mooney–Rivlin material so that during their axisymmetric deformations either the in-plane shear stress or the hoop stress has a desired spatial variation. It is shown that for a cylinder and a sphere made of an incompressible Hookean material, ...
