The adhesive contact of a flat punch on a hyperelastic substrate subject to a pull-out force or a bending moment
(2011)In the last decade; instrumented macro- and nano-indentation tests have become useful tools for probing mechanical properties of materials. In this context, little in-depth work has been done for soft bio-materials like ... -
Collapse of pressurized elastoplastic tubular members under lateral loads
(2004)The present work examines the collapse of tubular members subjected to lateral (transverse) quasi-static loading in the presence of uniform pressure. In particular, it investigates pressure effects on the ultimate lateral ... -
Conical indentation of incompressible rubber-like materials
(2009)In the last decade, the indentation test has become a useful tool for probing mechanical properties of small material volumes. In this context, little has been done for rubber-like materials (elastomers), although there ... -
Denting of internally pressurized tubes under lateral loads
(2006)The present work examines the structural response of tubular members subjected to lateral quasi-static loading, imposed by wedge-shaped denting devices, in the presence of internal pressure. First, tubes are modeled with ... -
Erosion probability for biofilm modeling: analysis of trends
(2014)This study presents the strengths and weaknesses of a biofilm erosion probability algorithm that can be used in cellular automaton and individual-based biofilm simulation models. The erosion probability is calculated using ... -
Improved retrieval effectiveness by efficient combination of term proximity and zone scoring: A simulation-based evaluation
(2012)During the past few years, the commercial Web search engines have augmented their underlying index structures by significantly enriching the information which describes the appearance of a word within a document Dean (2009) ... -
Material modeling of biofilm mechanical properties
(2014)A biofilm material model and a procedure for numerical integration are developed in this article. They enable calculation of a composite Young's modulus that varies in the biofilm and evolves with deformation. The ... -
On the calculation of the elastic modulus of a biofilm streamer
(2008)Biofilm mechanical properties are essential in quantifying the rate of microbial detachment, a key process in determining the function and structure of biofilm systems. Although properties such as biofilm elastic moduli, ...
