We give error estimates for the approximation of a laminated microstructure which minimizes the energy R (rv(x))dx for a rotationally invariant, double well energy density (A). We present error estimates for the convergence of the deformation in L; the convergence of directional derivatives of the deformation in the \twin planes," the weak convergence of the deformation gradient, the convergenc...

Differential Interferometric SAR (DInSAR) time-series techniques can be used to derive surface displacement rates with accuracies of 1 mm/year, by measuring the one-dimensional distance change between a satellite and the surface over time. However, the slanted direction of the measurements complicates interpretation of the signal, especially in regions that are subject to multiple deformation p...

One of the major challenges associated with the in-mold assembly processes at the mesoscale is the interaction between the polymer melt and the premolded components that are present in the mold. When a high speed, high temperature second stage melt comes in contact with a premolded mesoscale component having similar melting temperatures, the premolded component undergoes thermal softening and p...

In this study, a denoising method of smoothing spline is proposed to reconstruct parent β grain titanium alloys as supplement the past literatures. The mean orientation sample with bimodal microstructure can be well reconstructed similar size and negligible misorientation (<1°) compared traditional reconstruction result. second test case deals globularized α grains after multi-axial hot compres...

The effects of using both directions and directional subdividing on adaptive gridembedding on the computational time and the number of grid points required for the same accuracy are considered. Directional subdividing is used from the beginning of the adaptation procedure without any restriction. To avoid the complication of unstructured grid, the semi-structured grid was used. It is used to so...

We introduce multi-directional optical coherence tomography (OCT), a technique for investigation of the scattering properties of directionally reflective tissue samples. By combining the concepts of multi-channel and directional OCT, this approach enables simultaneous acquisition of multiple reflectivity depth-scans probing a mutual sample location from differing angular orientations. The appli...

This survey paper presents the state-of-the-art directional medium access control (MAC) protocols in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks (WAHSNs). The key benefits of directional antennas over omni-directional antennas are longer communication range, less multipath interference, more spatial reuse, more secure communications, higher throughput and reduced latency. However, directional antennas ...

Tissue-level characterization of deformation dynamics is crucial for understanding organ morphogenetic mechanisms, especially the interhierarchical links among molecular activities, cellular behaviors and tissue/organ morphogenetic processes. Limb development is a well-studied topic in vertebrate organogenesis. Nevertheless, there is still little understanding of tissue-level deformation relati...
