In this paper, a two-dimensional (2D) quantitative sonoelastographic technique for estimating local shear wave speeds from slowly propagating shear wave interference patterns (termed crawling waves) is presented. Homogeneous tissuemimicking phantom results demonstrate the ability of quantitative sonoelastographic imaging to accurately reconstruct the true underlying shear wave speed distributio...

abstract: The PCD (piecewise constant distributions) method is a discretization technique of the boundary value problems in which the unknown distribution and its derivatives are represented by piecewise constant distributions but on distinct meshes. It has the advantage of producing the most sparse stiffness matrix resulting from the approximate problem. In this contribution, we propose a gene...

Trapped substances between a two-dimensional (2D) crystal and an atomically flat substrate lead to the formation of bubbles. Their size, shape and internal pressure are determined by the competition between van der Waals attraction of the crystal to the substrate and the elastic energy needed to deform it, allowing to use bubbles to study elastic properties of 2D crystals and conditions of conf...

We consider the problem of image recognition via two-dimensional random projection and nearest constrained subspace. First, image features are extracted by a two-dimensional random projection. The two-dimensional random projection for feature extraction is an extension of the 1D compressive sampling technique to 2D and is computationally more efficient than its 1D counterpart and 2D reconstruct...

A two dimensional deformation due to internal heat source in a thermoelastic solid with microtemperatures under the dependence of modulus of elasticity and thermal conductivity on reference temperature has been studied. A mechanical force of constant magnitude is applied at the free surface of thermoelastic half space. The normal modes technique has been applied to obtain the exact expressions ...
