This paper presents a general high-order kernel regularization technique applicable to all four integral operators of Calderón calculus associated with linear elliptic PDEs in two and three spatial dimensions. Like previous density interpolation methods, the proposed relies on interpolating function around singularity terms solutions underlying homogeneous PDE, so as recast singular nearly inte...

Originally developed by the consortium Sony-Toshiba-IBM for the Playstation 3 game console, the Cell Broadband Engine processor has been increasingly used in a much wider range of applications like HDTV sets and multimedia devices. Conforming the new Cell Broadband Engine Architecture that extends the PowerPC architecture, this processor can deliver high computational power embedding nine cores...

In this paper we describe the development of an interactive virtual reality (VR) system that aims to realistically simulate specific paracentesis clinical procedures (particularly the procedure involved in the catheterization of the subclavian vein). Two elastostatic finite element (FE) models are developed to enable physically based simulation of the deformable tissues, particularly skin defle...

The elastodynamic image forces on edge and screw dislocations in the presence of a planar-free surface are derived. The explicit form of the elastodynamic fields of an injected, quiescent screw dislocation are also derived. The resulting image forces are affected by retardation effects: the dislocations experience no image force for a period of time defined by the arrival and reflection at the ...

By virtue of a complete set of two displacement potentials, an analytical derivation of the elastostatic Green’s functions of an exponentially graded transversely isotropic bi-material full-space was presented. Three-dimensional point-load Green’s functions for stresses and displacements were given in line-integral representations. The formulation included a complete set of transformed stress-p...

the product rate variation problem minimizes the variation in the rate at which different models of a common base product are produced on the assembly lines with the assumption of negligible switch-over cost and unit processing time for each copy of each model. the assumption of significant setup and arbitrary processing times forces the problem to be a two phase problem. the first phase determ...

Two classes of exact solutions are derived for the equations of three dimensional linear orthotropic elasticity theory governing flat (plate) bodies in plane strain or axisymmetric deformations. One of these is the analogue of the Levy solution for plane strain deformations of isotropic plates and is designated as the interior solutions. The other complementary class correspond to the Papkovich...
