This work proposes a two-way coupling between Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) model-based named DualSPHysics and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method to solve fluid–structure interaction (FSI). Aiming at having computationally efficient solution via spatial adjustable resolutions for the two phases, SPH-FEA herein presented implements Euler–Bernoulli beam model, based on simplified model ...

  Purpose: Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is one of the causes of death or permanent   invalidity which can occur unexpectedly in both military and civilian populations. This study   set out to conduct a combined Eulerian-Lagrangian computational analysis of the interaction   between a single planar blast wave and a human head in order to assess the extent of intracranial   shock w...

We present calculations of the g factors for the lower conductance steps of three-dimensional hole quantum wires. Our results prove that the anisotropy with magnetic field orientation, relative to the wire, originates in the Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We also analyze the relevance of the deformation, as the wire evolves from three-dimensional toward a flat two-dimensional geometry. For high en...

No technology is presently available to provide real-time information on internal deformations and stresses in plantar soft tissues of individuals during evaluation of the gait pattern. Because internal deformations and stresses in the plantar pad are critical factors in foot injuries such as diabetic foot ulceration, this severely limits evaluation of patients. To allow such real-time subject-...

— We prove that the dimension of the deformations of a given generic Fuchsian system without changing the conjugacy class of its local monodromies (“number of accessory parameters”) is equal to half the dimension of the moduli space of deformations of the associated local system. We do this by constructing a weight 1 Hodge structure on the infinitesimal deformations of integrable connections. W...
