It is highly desirable for the promising sodium storage possessing high rate and long stable capability, which are mainly hindered by unstable yet conventional solvent-derived organic-rich solid electrolyte interphases (SEI). Herein, an solvation chemistry elaborately manipulated to produce enhanced anion-derived inorganic components-dominated SEI introducing a low permittivity (4.33) bis(2,2,2...

Surgical valve replacement in patients with severe calcific aortic valve disease using either bioprosthetic or mechanical heart valves is still limited by structural valve deterioration for the former and thrombosis risk mandating anticoagulant therapy for the latter. Prosthetic polymeric heart valves have the potential to overcome the inherent material and design limitations of these valves, b...

Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is one of the growing challenges in recent times, wherein both fluid and structural solution domains are coupled using CFD and FEM methods respectively. Results from both the analysis are exchanged at interface junction in a synchronized manner to obtain an FSI solution. This study is helpful in observing the behavior of blood flow through arteries and to study...

SUMMARY An immersed finite element Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) algorithm with an anisotropic remeshing strategy for thin rigid structures is presented in two-dimensions. The algorithm consists in remeshing only the fluid elements that are cut by the solid such that they fit the solid geometry. This approach allows to keep the initially provided fluid mesh vertexes fixed during the whole s...

The number of studies on blood flow analysis using fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis is increasing. Though a 3D blood vessel model that includes intima and adventitia is required for FSI analysis, there are difficulties in generating it using only one type of medical imaging. In this paper, we propose a 3D modeling method for accurate FSI analysis. An intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) im...

This paper presents a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) analysis of ball grid array (BGA) package encapsulation. Real-time and simultaneous FSI analysis is conducted by using finite volume code (FLUENT) and finite element code (ABAQUS), which are coupled with MpCCI. A BGA integrated circuit (IC) package with different solder bump arrangements is considered in this study. In the FSI analysis, ef...

The present status of the theoretical description of Initial (ISI) and Final State Interactions (FSI) in nucleon induced exclusive meson production processes close to threshold is reviewed. Shortcomings are addressed and new perspectives given. It is quite surprising, that the discussion of the theoretical description of ISI and FSI in nuclear and particle collision/production processes is gain...

The influence of spring stiffness and valve quality on the motion behaviors of reciprocating plunger pump discharge valves was investigated by fluid structure interaction (FSI) simulation and experimental analysis. The mathematical model of the discharge valve motion of a 2000-fracturing pump was developed and the discrete differential equations were solved according to FSI and results obtained...

An important eld in computational science and engineering is the simulation of the coupled problem of uid ow interacting with a moving structure. A common notation for this is uid-structure interaction (FSI) problems, which include both aeroelasticity and hydroelasticity. Such multi-physics systems have received renewed attention as a result of the increase in length of slender structures e.g. ...

The dysfunction of parvalbumin-positive, fast-spiking interneurons (FSI) is considered a primary contributor to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SZ), but deficits in FSI physiology have not been explicitly characterized. We show for the first time, that a widely-employed model of schizophrenia minimizes first spike latency and increases GluN2B-mediated current in neocortical FSIs. The redu...
