he bonds between leukocytes and endothelial cells last longer when under some strain, as shown by Yago et al. (page 913). The results explain why these white blood cells attach to and roll along the vasculature only when blood flow is strong enough. Most explanations of this flow-enhanced adhesion suggest that flow increases the number of bonds that form between L-selectin on leukocytes and PSG...

In this paper we investigate the interaction between a granular layer and an elastic foundation using a coupled Discrete Element Method-Finite Element Method (DEM–FEM) computational model. We use this dynamics code to simulate quasi-static bending of the granular layer and we observe the changes taking place in the structure of the force chains for two cases: with and without rolling resistance...

In this paper a complete 3D contact model is presented. This model has nonlinearity in determining both normal and friction forces. A new nonlinear normal force model is introduced and the differences between this new model and previous ones are described. Also, the characteristics of this model are discussed and compared with the classical models and empirical results. For calculating the fric...

Abstract Rolling speed ratios during the rolling process are critical to ring forming in this pepper. The selected roll feed mode is constant with increasing of diameter main stage. Based on Deform-3D finite element software, a large size φ1530 mm was taken as research object. numerical model 40Cr13 stainless steel established. radial-axial rings under different increase speeds simulated, and c...

L-selectin requires a threshold shear to enable leukocytes to tether to and roll on vascular surfaces. Transport mechanisms govern flow-enhanced tethering, whereas force governs flow-enhanced rolling by prolonging the lifetimes of L-selectin-ligand complexes (catch bonds). Using selectin crystal structures, molecular dynamics simulations, site-directed mutagenesis, single-molecule force and kin...

key account business analyst, Quaker Chemical Corp., Conshohocken, Pa., USA [email protected] Nucor Steel Tuscaloosa Inc. is the first U.S. mill to employ Steckel mill technology for producing high-quality wide coiled plates and discrete plates. Since 1985, the Steckel mill has consistently demonstrated product versatility, quality and cost advantage over traditional plate mills. The single...

A novel numerical simulation of adhesive particles (cells) reversibly interacting with an adhesive surface under flow is presented. Particle--particle and particle--wall hydrodynamic interactions in low Reynolds number Couette flow are calculated using a boundary element method that solves an integral representation of the Stokes equation. Molecular bonds between surfaces are modeled as linear ...
