Conductive silicone rubber has great advantages for tactile sensing applications. The electrical behavior of the elastomeric material is rate-dependent and exhibit hysteresis upon cyclic loading. Several constitutive models were developed for mechanical simulation of this material upon loading and unloading. One of the successful approaches to model the time-dependent behavior of elastomers is ...

The paper addresses the problem of maximizing the percentage of on-time jobs in a parallel machine environment with sequence dependent deterioration. The deterioration of each machine (and therefore of the job processing times) is a function of the sequence of jobs that have been processed by the machine. Two machine loading strategies are combined with a set of list scheduling algorithms to so...

We consider a non-isothermal one-dimensional model of martensitic phase transitions that incorporates a finite bar with a non-monotone temperature-dependent stress–strain law and non-zero latent heat. Two dissipation mechanisms are considered: heat conduction and the internal viscous dissipation of kinetic origin. Time-dependent displacement and ambient temperature are prescribed at the ends of...

In this paper, size-dependent effects on the vibration behavior of Timoshenko microbeams under pre-stress loading embedded in an elastic foundation, using modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) and surface stress effects, were studied. To consider the surface stress effects, the Gurtin–Murdoch continuum mechanical approach was employed. Using Hamilton’s principle, the governing equations of mot...

reduced differental transform method (rdtm), which isone of the useful and effective numerical method, is applied to solve nonlinear time-dependent foam drainage equation (fde) with different initial conditions. we compare our method with the famous adomian decomposition and laplace decomposition methods. the obtained resultsdemonstrated that rdtm is a powerful tool for solving nonlinear par...

A regulated mechanism of cargo loading is crucial for intracellular transport. N-cadherin, a synaptic adhesion molecule that is critical for neuronal function, must be precisely transported to dendritic spines in response to synaptic activity and plasticity. However, the mechanism of activity-dependent cargo loading remains unclear. To elucidate this mechanism, we investigated the activity-depe...
