Modeling of thermal-induced mechanical behaviors of soft tissues is of great importance for thermal ablation. This paper presents a method by integrating the heating process with thermal-induced mechanical deformations of soft tissues for simulation and analysis of the thermal ablation process. This method combines bio-heat transfer theories, constitutive elastic material law under thermal load...

Interest in polarimetric remote sensing is gaining momentum in the visible and remains strong in the microwave regions of the spectrum. However, passive polarimetric phenomenology in the 3-14 micron infrared (IR) region is complicated by the relative contributions and complementary polarization orientation of the thermally emitted and background reflected radiance. Although this modality has fo...

The major physicochemical processes involved in an industrial HVOF thermal spray process (Diamond Jet hybrid gun, Sulzer Metco, Westbury, NY) are studied by a comprehensive multiscale model. The model includes continuum type differential equations that describe the dynamics of gas phase and particles of different sizes, and a rule-based stochastic simulator that predicts the evolution of coatin...

Excimer laser ablation of metals starts as a thermal process in the -1-J/cm2 fluence range and makes a rapid transition near 5 J/cm2 to a highly ionized plume (for IO-ns pulses). The 1-5-J/cm2 range is of particular interest because it overlaps the irradiance range used to fabricate high-temperature superconductors, diamondlike carbon films, and conducting Cu films. Covered here are analyses ai...

This paper proposes a new thermal nonlinear modeling technique for packaged integrated systems. Thermal behavior of complicated systems like packaged electronic systems may exhibit nonlinear and temperature dependent properties. As a result, it is difficult to use a low order linear model to approximate the thermal behavior of the packaged integrated systems without accuracy loss. In this paper...

Fuzzy modeling has been widely applied as a powerful methodology for the identification of nonlinear systems from process measurements. In particular, the design of black-box approaches based on fuzzy models has been recognized as an alternative to mathematical methods. This article deals with the application of modeling and identification techniques for obtaining two fuzzy models of a solar do...
