Immersed boundary method for the MHD flows of liquid metals
(2009)
Wall-bounded magnetohydrodynamic (MHD hereafter) flows are of great theoretical and practical interest. Even for laminar cases, MHD simulations are associated with very high computational cost due to the resolution ...
Fabrication of nanorods by metal evaporation inside the pores of ultra-thin porous alumina templates
(2007)
Porous alumina has attracted a great deal of attention as a template material for the growth of nanowires and nanodots. Typically, the pores have a high aspect ratio, which forbids the use of evaporation techniques for ...

Solid solution series of the type K 2Bi 8-xSb xSe 13, K 2-xRb xBi 8Se 13 as well as K 2B 18Se 13-xS x were prepared and the distribution of the atoms (Bi/Sb, K/Rb and Se/S) on different crystallographic sites, the band ...
Identification of hysteretic systems using the differential evolution algorithm
(2001)
A widely used model in the field of hysteretic or memory-dependent vibrations is that of Bouc and Wen. Different parameter values extend its use to various areas of mechanical vibrations. As a consequence an identification ...
Differential evolution based identification of automotive hydraulic engine mount model parameters
(2000)
Hydraulic engine mounts are commonly used in an automotive applications, and numerical models exist for performing full-vehicle noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) studies by means of multibody simulation. The parameters ...
Poly[2-(acetoacetoxy)ethylmethacrylate]-based hybrid micelles
(2006)
Block copolymers based on n-butyl mediacrylate (BMA) and 2-(acetoacetoxy)ethyl methacrylate (AEMA), a commercially available monomer bearing a β-dicarbonyl ligand, are used for the solubilization of metal ions (Fe3+, Co2+, ...
Mathematical modeling of herpes simplex virus distribution in solid tumors: Implications for cancer gene therapy
(2009)
Purpose: Although oncolytic viral vectors show promise for the treatment of various cancers, ineffective initial distribution and propagation throughout the tumor mass often limit the therapeutic response. A mathematical ...
Design of an advanced heavy tactical truck: A target cascading case study
(2001)
The target cascading methodology is applied to the conceptual design of an advanced heavy tactical truck. Two levels are defined: an integrated truck model is represented at the top (vehicle) level and four independent ...
Structural modification. Part 1: Rotational receptances
(2005)
The inverse problem of assigning natural frequencies and antiresonances by a modification to the stiffness, mass and damping of a structure is addressed. Very simple modifications such as the addition of masses and grounded ...
