Arterial stiffness is a growing epidemic associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, dementia, and death. Decreased compliance of the central vasculature alters arterial pressure and flow ...

You heard it here first! The new Otis solver in Houdini 21 uses Vertex Block Descent! They made some nice improvements for stability, including several new hessian approximations. It also runs in ...

Abstract: Finite element analysis is one of the important methods for multiphysics calculation of electrical equipment. However, in the face of the increasing complexity of finite element models, the ...

Abstract: The static and dynamic analysis of the arch dam is performed using the 3D scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). Only the boundaries are discretized and the solution in the radial ...

Biological materials such as extracellular matrix scaffolds, cancer cells, and tissues are often assumed to respond elastically for simplicity; the viscoelastic response is quite commonly ignored.

The effects of elevated arterial stiffness on cardiovascular outcomes are widely studied, whereas the relation to noncardiovascular outcomes relevant to older persons, such as the effect on bones and ...

The migration and invasion of cancer cells through 3D confined extracellular matrices is coupled to cell mechanics and the mechanics of the extracellular matrix. Cell mechanics is mainly determined by ...
