This study presents the effect of porosity on mechanical behaviors of a power distribution functionally graded beam. The Euler-Bernoulli beam is assumed to describe the kinematic relations and constitutive equations. Because of technical problems, particle size shapes and micro-voids are created during the fabrication which should be taken into consideration. Two porosity models are proposed. T...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is frequently used in exploring the mechanical behaviors of nanowires, which have strong dependency on parameters such as size, strain-rate, temperature, and so on. However, the MD simulations require heavy computation power. For efficient parametric study on the mechanical behaviors, the use of a snapshot-based proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is propose...

Modeling of thermal-induced mechanical behaviors of soft tissues is of great importance for thermal ablation. This paper presents a method by integrating the heating process with thermal-induced mechanical deformations of soft tissues for simulation and analysis of the thermal ablation process. This method combines bio-heat transfer theories, constitutive elastic material law under thermal load...
