The elastic pressure/volume (P/V) curve obtained by the multiple linear regression (MLR) technique using a new model, was compared with the quasi-static P/V points obtained by the rapid airway occlusion technique. Seven infants were studied during mechanical ventilation using a pressure controlled mode. The resistive pressure was subtracted from airway opening pressure, thus determining the ela...

this study aims to numerically investigate on the crashworthiness of thin-walled square tubes by consideration of 3-d oblique loading. in this type of loading, direction of loading is defined by using two spatial angles relative to the position of the tube. to this aim, finite element (fe) analysis is employed to simulate the loading for 8 different numerical models with different loading orien...

The problem of unbounded uniaxial chiral omega media in the presence of both static electric and magnetic point charges is investigated. For this purpose scalar electric and magnetic potentials in these media are introduced. Using these potentials, the corresponding electric and magnetic fields are determined. The similar problem of static electric and magnetic current sources with the goal of ...

we have investigated the electronic structure and thermodynamic properties of supercell of the
-al2o3 by first-principles calculation in framework of density functional theory (dft) and full potential linearized augmented plane wave (fp-lapw) with generalized gradient approximation (gga) and by quasi-harmonic debye model. our calculated value for direct band gap of α-al2o3 is 7.2 ev which is v...

Explicit expressions for the minimum free energy of a linear viscoelastic material and Noll’s definition of state are used here to explore spatial energy decay estimates for viscoelastic bodies, in the full dynamical case and in the quasi-static approximation. In the inertial case, Chirita et al. obtained a certain spatial decay inequality for a space-time integral over a portion of the body an...

A quasi-static electric field can enhance laser-induced diffraction rings from a nematic liquid-crystal film. This phenomenon is shown to be the combined result of the critical behavior of the sample at the Freedericksz transition and the nonlinear coupling of the optical and quasi-static electric fields.

In order to reduce the computation time of a quasi-static problem solved by the finite element method, methods of model order reduction can be applied. In this context, two approaches, the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and the Proper Generalized Decomposition, are applied to the vector potential formulation used to solve the quasi-static problem. The developped methods are compared on an acad...
