Micro-electroactive polymers have wide applications from industry to healthcare. Artificial muscles, microvalves, microswitches, haptic sensing, blood pressure and pulse monitoring are some potential applications for micro-electroactive polymers. The most advantage of micro-electroactive polymers as sensors and actuators is bio-compatibility and low power threshold for large deformations...

The bending of bilayer plates is a mechanism which allows for large deformations via small externally induced lattice mismatches of the underlying materials. Its mathematical modeling, discussed herein, consists of a nonlinear fourth order problem with a pointwise isometry constraint. A discretization based on Kirchhoff quadrilaterals is devised and its Γ-convergence is proved. An iterative met...

Though fluid model offers a good approach to nonrigid registration with large deformations, it suffers from the blurring artifacts introduced by the viscosity term. To overcome this drawback, we present an inviscid model expressed in a particle framework. Our idea is to simulate the template image as a set of particles moving towards the target positions. The proposed model can accommodate both...

Having sufficient and accurate understanding about kinetics of phenomena, could be an important reason for further technological progresses. Finding a white-box mathematical model for weight vs. time curves of Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) using large and small signal analysis has been studied thoroughly in the present investigation. Weight-Time curves of nano-Mullite suspension have been tr...

the purpose of this research was socioeconomicanalysis of farms using primary data in two villages of mymensingh sadar. a total of 60 farms including 20 small, 20 medium and 20 large were randomly selected for the study. socioeconomic analysis showed that indebtedness was higher in large farms than those of small and medium ones. large farms also engaged more in farm activities than others. all...
