Effect of Fiber Geometry on Pulsatile Pumping and Energy Expenditure

Submitted by Arash_Kheradvar on

Myocardial fiber orientation is a topic that has recently received much attention in connection with cardiac pumping function. The twisting motion of the cardiac base to apex can be a direct result of this geometric orientation of these fibers. One important question that has not been addressed yet is whether there is any relationship between the contractile energy expenditure and the geometric orientation of myocardial fibers. In the present work, we study the effect of contractile fiber orientation on pumping function.

Hello,

Does anybody know if there exists an analytical solution for stress distribution in a sandwich like/ multilayered thin films subjected to cyclic bending? The sandwich has line-patterned metal of submicrons in thick and a few microns in width, which was coated/deposited by other material on top and bottom (surrounding as well) with different thickness up to 20 microns.

 

Singular stress fields at corners in flip-chip packages

Submitted by Nanshu Lu on

An electronic device integrates diverse materials, and inevitably contains sharp features, such as interfaces and corners. When the device is subject to thermal and mechanical loads, the corners develop intense stress and are vulnerable sites to initiate failure. This paper analyzes stress fields at corners in flip-chip packages. The stress at a corner is a linear superposition of two modes of singular fields, with one mode being more singular than the other. The amplitudes of the two modes are represented by two stress intensity factors of dissimilar dimensions.

MRI-R2 has been posted

Submitted by Ken P. Chong on

The NSF Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI-R²) Recovery and Reinvestment is now posted. This is a good way to build up the needed major research instrumentation

The deadline for proposals will be August 10, 2009.

A link can be found through the page www.nsf.gov/od/oia/programs/mri (preferred to keep abreast of updates) or through the NSF-wide page at http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5260.

hi, i m studieng grp pipes as graduation project and need to modelling the pipe on ansys under inner pressure.

if somebody can help me i ll be very grateful.

the pipe wall contains of 32 layers from glassfiber and epoxy as acomposite material,the layers are [+55(16),-55(16)].

itried to do that using the element shell 91,but i failed.

my mail is yhkasem [at] yahoo.com (yhkasem[at]yahoo[dot]com).

thanks for any help.

Compression Testing of alumina ceramics

Submitted by ash74u on

 

Hi all ,

We were doing compression testing of alumina using Instron compression testor. plates used to compress the specimen is made up of Steel. When we applying load in elastic region we are not able to see right deflection because of compliance. Deflection of alumina is not clear as we are getting lots of compliance error. Has anyone faced similar problems. Is changing the steel plate and using any hard material in place of steel is the solution.

 Thanks
