in this work quantitative structure activity relationship (qsar) methodology was applied for modeling and prediction of cellular response to polymers that have been designed for tissue engineering. after calculation and screening of molecular descriptors, linear and nonlinear models were developed by using multiple linear regressions (mlr) and artificial neural network (ann) methods. the root m...

Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed traditionally using conventional finite element basis functions (i.e., cubic Hermite, equi-spaced Lagrange interpolation functions, or spectral/hp Legendre functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, tota...
