The comprehension of the anisotropy impacts on mechanical properties of the rolled steel sheets was investigated using a non-quadratic anisotropic yield function. In this study, experimental and modelling determination regarding the behaviour of an industrial rolled sheet for a ferritic stainless low-carbon steel were carried out. The parameters of the associated yield equation, derived from th...

Diffusion anisotropy is the most fundamental and important parameter in the description of cardiac fibers using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI), by reflecting the microstructure variation of the fiber. It is, however still not clear how the diffusion anisotropy is influenced by different contiguous structures (collagen, cardiac myocyte, etc.). In this paper, a virtual cardiac ...

In this paper, the effect of anisotropy on the free vibration of laminated rectangular plate supporting a localized patch mass is investigated. The two variable refined plate theory is applied to define the third order displacement field of a composite rectangular plate. The plate is considered to have simply supported boundaries. The equations of motion for rectangular plate are obtained by ca...

We report calculations of the anisotropy ratio of the electrical conductivity of a simple model of a loose connective biological tissue described as a random assembly of multiscale undeformable core-shell and controlled polydisperse spherical structures. One can estimate a 10% increase in the anisotropy ratio due to the application of electric field (duration 100 lm) above the electroporation t...

In crystals the speed of the surface acoustic wave mode may approach that of the lowest-speed quasitransverse bulk mode in some directions of propagation. Under these circumstances, it is possible for energy to be transferred from the surface mode to the bulk mode by nonlinear coupling. In the present paper we investigate the possibilities for mode coupling in the (001), (110), and (111) planes...

A mean field model is presented for the configuration dependent effective demagnetizing and anisotropy fields in assemblies of exchange decoupled magnetic particles of arbitrary shape which are expressed in terms of the demagnetizing factors of the particles and the volumetric shape containing the assembly. Perpendicularly magnetized two-dimensional (2D) assemblies have been considered, for whi...

Protein-protein interactions comprise both transport and reaction steps. During the transport step, anisotropy of proteins and their complexes is important both for hydrodynamic diffusion and accessibility of the binding site. Using a Brownian dynamics approach and extensive computer simulations, we quantify the effect of anisotropy on the encounter rate of ellipsoidal particles covered with sp...

The magnetization reversal in exchange-biased ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic (FM-AFM) bilayers is investigated. Different reversal pathways on each branch of the hysteresis loop, i.e., asymmetry, are obtained both experimentally and theoretically when the magnetic field is applied at certain angles from the anisotropy direction. The range of angles and the magnitude of this asymmetry are deter...

When a liquid is supercooled towards the glass transition, its dynamics drastically slows down, whereas its static structure remains relatively unchanged. Finding a structural signature of the dynamic slowing down is a major challenge, yet it is often too subtle to be uncovered. Here we discover the structural signatures for both translational and rotational dynamics in monolayers of colloidal ...
