As experimental techniques in biophysics have progressed at the single molecule level, there has been considerable interest in understanding how external mechanical influences (such as load) affect chemical reactions. The majority of biophysical studies investigating load-dependent kinetics use an equation where the rate constant exponentially depends on force, which is sometimes called Bell's ...

The comprehension of the anisotropy impacts on mechanical properties of the rolled steel sheets was investigated using a non-quadratic anisotropic yield function. In this study, experimental and modelling determination regarding the behaviour of an industrial rolled sheet for a ferritic stainless low-carbon steel were carried out. The parameters of the associated yield equation, derived from th...

In this paper, we have studied the strain, band-edge, and energy levels of cubic InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) surrounded by GaAs. It is shown that overall strain value is larger in InGaAs-GaAs interfaces, as well as in smaller QDs. Also, it is proved that conduction and valence band-edges and electron-hole levels are size dependent; larger QD sizes appeared to result in the lower recombination...

The traditional Hessian-related vessel filters often suffer from the problem of handling non-cylindrical objects. To remedy the shortcoming, we present a shape-tuned strain energy density function to measure vessel likelihood in 3D images. Based on the tensor invariants and stress-strain principle in mechanics, a new shape discriminating and vessel strength measure function is formulated. The s...

The atomic structure, mechanical and thermodynamic stability of vacancy clusters in Cu are studied by atomistic simulations. The most stable atomic configuration of small vacancy clusters is determined. The mechanical stability of the vacancy clusters is examined by applying uniaxial and volumetric tensile strains to the system. The yield stress and yield strain of the system are significantly ...

• Low-cycle fatigue behaviour of nine advanced high-strength steels is studied. Cumulative strain energy density applied as indicator parameter. can successfully assess life. In this paper, the applicability cumulative explored a parameter for subjected to strain-controlled conditions. Firstly, cyclic stress–strain responses steels, selected from three multiphase families, encompassing differen...

interaction of meso — tetrakis (p-sulphonato phenyl) porphyrin (hereafter abbreviated to tspp)with na+ has been examined using hf level of theory with 6-31g* basis set. counterpoise (cp)correction has been used to show the extent of the basis set superposition error (bsse) on thepotential energy curves. the numbers of na+ have a significant effect on the calculated potentialenergy curve (includ...
