In our previous study, we demonstrated that the time-dependent failure of transversely loaded UD (unidirectional) glass/iPP is fully plasticity-controlled and proposed a lifetime prediction method based on plasticity to predict transverse failure. present work, extending study other off-axis angles, aim investigate effect angle glass/iPP, propose for Glass/iPP specimens with different angles ar...

Classically, action-potential-based learning paradigms such as the Bienenstock-Cooper-Munroe (BCM) rule for pulse rates or spike timing-dependent plasticity for pulse pairings have been experimentally demonstrated to evoke long-lasting synaptic weight changes (i.e., plasticity). However, several recent experiments have shown that plasticity also depends on the local dynamics at the synapse, suc...

We suggest a 'universal' electrical circuit for the realization of an artificial synapse that exhibits long-term plasticity induced by different protocols. The long-term plasticity of the artificial synapse is basically attributed to the nonvolatile resistance change of the bipolar resistive switch in the circuit. The synaptic behaviour realized by the circuit is termed 'universal' inasmuch as ...

Modulation of intrinsic excitability is an alternative to classical synaptic plasticity for implementing activity-dependent changes in neuronal networks. In this issue of Neuron, Nelson et al. reveal a new form of plasticity of intrinsic excitability that can be triggered rapidly when synaptic inhibition reduces spontaneous firing, resulting in persistent enhancement of firing rate and neuronal...

The NMDAR-dependent synaptic plasticity is thought to mediate several forms of learning, and can be induced by spike trains containing a small number of spikes occurring with varying rates and timing, as well as with oscillations. We computed the influence of these variables on the plasticity induced at a single NMDAR containing synapse using a reduced model that was analytically tractable, and...

In the field of single crystal plasticity, different algorithms exist for solution constitutive equations. They can be grouped into rate independent and dependent approaches, where both classes are governed by inherent shortcomings, as discussed in, e.g., [3]. This contribution outlines an algorithmic formulation plasticity at small strains case relying on infeasible primal-dual interior point ...

To assess the effect of stress state and strain rate on damage fracture a commercial DP1000 steel with very fine microstructure, an extensive series tests were performed. Using finite element simulations, eight different sample geometries, including dogbone, central hole, shear several notched samples, designed to achieve both proportional non-proportional states using conventional test benches...
