Dans cet article on démontre que si une structure de contact sur variété dimension trois est portée par un livre ouvert à pages planaires, alors certaine configuration d’intersections n’apparaît dans l’homologie d’aucun ses remplissages minimaux. On plus les d’une telle ne contiennent pas surface symplectique genre positif. En appliquant ces obstructions aux structures canoniques bords des sing...

Abstract We propose a frictionless contact formulation for isogeometric analysis, which combines collocated the surfaces with standard Galerkin treatment of bulk. denote it as Collocated Contact Surface (CCS) formulation. The approach is based on simple pointwise enforcement constraints, performed in this study penalty method. Unlike (node-to-surface or point-to-surface) algorithms framework, C...

nowadays cmm machines are widely used in surface measurement and inspection. as inspection results from cmm machine are obtained by the means of measuring surfaces with direct contact, they are more precise than non-contact method (like optical measurement). however, cmm machines give more reliable and accurate results rather than non-contact methods but also these results come with error when ...

The produced liquid water in cathode catalyst layer (CCL) has significant effect on the operation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). To investigate this effect, the transport of oxygen in CCL in the presence of immiscible liquid water is studied applying a two-dimensional pore scale model. The CCL was reconstructed as an agglomerated system. To explore the wettability effects, diffe...

In this paper, the method of determining thermal contact resistance of wavy surfaces is discussed exactly. For determining the thermal contact resistance of real contacts, a new method has been presented. In this method, assuming a regular sinusoidal surface profile, the real contact area in terms of applied forces has been determined. Then thermal contact resistance has been calculated. Testin...

In order to increase the water content and the oxygen permeability of hydrogels used in themanufacture of contact lenses, the polar monomer Silicon Hydrogel Contact Lenses (SHCL), and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were copolymerized with the hydrogels. Due to the presence ofpolar monomers in the conventional contact lenses, the major component of the human tear,lysozyme is extensively adso...

Purpose To investigate the correlation between the changes in the ocular surface temperature (OST) and tear film stability over soft contact lenses (SCLs). Methods We enrolled 20 eyes of 20 normal SCL wearers (20 men; 24.4 ± 4.1 years). We used four different daily disposable SCLs: one silicone hydrogel lens (delefilcon A) and three hydrogel lenses (etafilcon A with polyvinylpyrrolidone [PVP]...
