Hsu recently proposed a new interconnection topology called Fibonacci cubes. ln this correspondence rve show that his routing and broadcasting algori thms do not work correctly and that a routing algorithm by Liu and Hsu does not run in optimal compu_ tation time. we also describe simple optimar deadlock-free routir,s and broadcasting algorithms. The routing algorithm sends ̂ -"rI sa.ge from a s...

Methods Healthy controls and patients with heart failure related structural heart disease underwent a standard cardiac magnetic resonance examination. Right and left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and end diastolic volumes (EDV) were traced from cine imaging. RVD was defined as RVEF less than mean minus 2 standard deviations of healthy gender matched controls. RVE was defined as either inde...

The effect of interfacial bonding of glass hollow microspheres and a polymer matrix on the elastic properties of syntactic foam was investigated using representative volume element (RVE) models, including partially debonded interfaces. Finite element analysis, with models having different debonding geometries, was performed to numerically estimate the elastic behavior of the models. The models ...

using  principle  of  minimum  total  potential  energy  approach  in conjunction  with  rayleigh-ritz  method,  the  electro-thermo-mechanical  axial  buckling  behavior  of  piezoelectric  polymeric cylindrical  shell  reinforced  with  double-walled  boron-nitride nanotube  (dwbnnt)  is  investigated. coupling  between  electrical and mechanical  fields  are  considered  according  to  a  re...

Smart composite materials have been an active field of research in the last few decades. Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are examples such smart composites and they show a coupling between magnetism elasticity. MREs heterogeneous consist magnetic particles silicone-based elastomer. To describe predict behaviour macroscopic continuum accurately, microstructural information needs to be taken...

The conceptualization of a representative volume element (RVE) hardened cement paste for numerical homogenization mechanical problems rests on identifying the largest discernible microstructural feature, i.e. unreacted grains. While particle size distribution (PSD) anhydrous is well-controlled production parameter, evolution grain throughout hydration remained unresolved. This study analyzes di...
