COMPRESSION OF ECAPED TITANIUM MICRO-PILLARS FOR TWO PRINCIPAL ORIENTATIONS

Plasticity of Nano- and Micro-pillars

We review unique mechanisms of plastic deformation in nanoand micropillars. At the nanoscale, it is shown that plastic deformation is asymmetric with respect to direction of mechanical loading, as a result of specific relationships between the normal and resolved shear stress on active slip planes. This is attributed to the dependence of shear wave speed on the stress state acting on slip plane...

Compression of Breast Cancer Images By Principal Component Analysis

The principle of dimensionality reduction with PCA is the representation of the dataset ‘X’in terms of eigenvectors ei ∈ RN  of its covariance matrix. The eigenvectors oriented in the direction with the maximum variance of X in RN carry the most      relevant information of X. These eigenvectors are called principal components [8]. Ass...

Light-Driven Reversible Shaping of Individual Azopolymeric Micro-Pillars

Azopolymers are known to exhibit a strong light responsivity known as athermal photofluidization. Although the underlying physics is still under debate, athermal photofluidization has been demonstrated to trigger mass-migration according to the polarization of a proper illumination light. Here, a polymer blend is proposed wherein a commercial azo-polyelectrolyte is mixed with a passive polymer....
