Compression Analysis of Hollow Cylinder Basalt Continuous Filament Epoxy Composite Filled with Shape Memory Wire

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the compression behavior of shape memory alloy hybrid composites (SMAHC) subjected to quasi-static loading taking into account of rotation effects of shape memory wire in basalt continuous filament (BCF) direct roving epoxy composite. Two types of specimen prepared, the BCF direct roving reinforced epoxy composite filled with shape memory w...

Shape Preserving Filament Enhancement Filtering

Morphological connected set filters for extraction of filamentous details from medical images are developed. The advantages of these filters are that they are shape preserving and do not amplify noise. Two approaches are compared: (i) multi-scale filtering (ii) single-step shape filtering using connected set (or attribute) thinnings. The latter method highlights all filamentous structure in a s...

Shape Sensitive Geometric Complexity

Shape Sensitive Geometri Permutations

Designing stimulus-sensitive colloidal walkers.

Colloidal particles with DNA "legs" that can bind reversibly to receptors on a surface can be made to 'walk' if there is a gradient in receptor concentration. We use a combination of theory and Monte Carlo simulations to explore how controllable parameters, e.g. coating density and binding strength, affect the dynamics of such colloids. We find that competition between thermodynamic and kinetic...
