| In this paper, we describe models and algorithms designed to produce eecient and physically consistent dynamic simulations. These models and algorithms have been implemented in a unique framework, modeling both deformations and contacts through visco-elastic relations. Since this model of interaction (known as \penalty based") is much debated, we present a compared study of two contact models...

-During the course of present investigation, effects of first order homogeneous chemical reaction and thermal radiation on two dimensional MHD flow of a visco-elastic fluid past a moving porous plate by considering double diffusive convection in presence of heat generation has been analyzed. A uniform magnetic field is applied in the direction normal to the moving plate. Also, the plate is cons...

An analysis of unsteady MHD flow of an electrically conducting visco-elastic fluid confined between two horizontal parallel non conducting plates in presence of a transverse magnetic field and Hall current is presented. The lower plate is a stretching sheet while the upper one is an oscillating porous plate, which is oscillating in its own plane. The motion of the fluid is produced by the stret...

Correction manoeuvres are as important as the other issues such as hardware selection, graft options, fusion and osteotomy techniques in the surgical treatment of spinal deformities.The property of materials demonstrating both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation is called visco-elasticity. Purely elastic materials change in shape with a stress, and go back to their i...

In this study, forced-vibration analysis of a coupled system of single layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) subjected to the moving nano-particle is carried out based on nonlocal elasticity theory of orthotropic plate. Two SLGSs are coupled with elastic medium which is simulated by Pasternak and Visco-Pasternak models. Using Hamilton’s principle, governing differential equations of motion are derive...

We theoretically and experimentally investigate visco–thermal effects on the acoustic propagation throughmetamaterials consisting of rigid slabswith subwavelength slits embedded in air.We demonstrate that this unavoidable lossmechanism is notmerely a refinement, but that it plays a dominant role in the actual acoustic response of the structure. Specifically, in the case of very narrow slits, th...

An analysis of two dimensional unsteady electrically conducting visco-elastic fluid flow through a porous medium has been carried out in this paper in presence of simultaneous heat and mass transfer. The porous medium is bounded by two horizontal plates moving in opposite directions. The visco-elastic fluid is characterized by Walters liquid (Model ). A magnetic field of uniform strength B0 is ...

Purpose: Tissue conditioners are used for healing of abused oral tissues. They may harbour microorganisms causing oral diseases such as candidiasis compromising the health of the patient. Also, addition of antifungal agents into tissue conditioner may alter its properties. This study compares the anti-fungal property and mechanical properties of tissue conditioner containing different antifunga...

The mechanical characteristics of respiratory system tissues include visco-elastic behaviour. In particular, after mechanical unloading, i.e., a reduction in respiratory system volume, the lower stress achieved slowly increases, approaching higher constant value, due to visco-elastic stress recovery. We performed experiments in which constant deflation flow arrest was applied in rats to study t...

The immersed boundary (IB) method is a mathematical formulation for fluid-structure interaction problems, where immersed incompressible visco-elastic bodies or boundaries interact with an incompressible fluid. The original numerical scheme associated to the IB method requires a smoothed approximation of the Dirac delta distribution to link the moving Lagrangian domain with the fixed Eulerian on...
