The large deformation of soft rock tunnel is one the key problems to be overcome in construction stage. In present study, mechanism a representative and some related countermeasures are investigated using field tests engineering geological analysis. Owing scarce performances methods based on other criteria such as small pipe spacing, anchor bolt length steel frame new support scheme implemented...

The deformation of aeronautical monolithic components due to CNC machining is a bottle-neck issue in the aviation industry. The residual stress releases and redistributes in the process of material removal, and the distortion of the monolithic component is generated. The traditional one-side machining method will produce oversize deformation. Based on the three-stage CNC machining method, the q...

For real-time rendering of physically-based volumetric deformation, a meshless finite element method (FEM) is proposed and implemented on the new-generation Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). A tightly coupled deformation and rendering pipeline is defined for seamless modeling and rendering: First, the meshless FEM model exploits the vertex shader stage and the transform feedback mechanism of the ...

Shape deformation as a fundamental geometric operation underpins a wide range of applications, from geometric modelling, medical imaging to biomechanics. In medical imaging, for example, to quantify the difference between two corresponding images, 2D or 3D, one needs to find the deformation between both images. However, such deformations, particularly deforming complex volume datasets, are pron...

Red blood cell (RBC) deformation is a dominant factor in the rheological properties of blood in vessels smaller than 300 micrometers. A reduction in cell deformability is associated with health conditions such as malaria and diabetes. The extensional flow within a microfluidic cross-slot microchannel has been proposed as a mechanism for measuring the deformation of cells. Three-dimensional simu...

The plastic deformation of Ti45Zr16Be20Cu10Ni9 bulk metallic glass has been investigated by nanoindentation performed with loads ranging from 10 to 200 mN in a wide range of loading rates. The plastic flow in the alloy exhibited conspicuous serrations at low loading rates. The serrations, however, became less prominent as the rate of indentation increased. Atomic force microscopy showed a signi...

We have conducted a study of toughening mechanisms in rubber modified polycarbonate systems in order to evaluate the sequence of deformation events which improve fracture toughness. We conclude that cavitation of the rubber particles occurs first, followed by massive shear yielding of the matrix material. The size and shape of the deformation zone created in front of the crack is governed by th...
