in this paper, we use molecular dynamics and finite element simulations to determine the mechanical properties of single-crystal metal of silver (ag) with nano-holes. the lattice transition method from 3-dimensions into 2-dimentions in molecular dynamics simulation as well as plane stress model in finite element method, is used to lessen the simulation time consuming. elasticity module reductio...

background : near infrared spectroscopy imaging is one of the new techniques used for investigating structural and functionality of different body tissues. this is done by injecting light into the medium and measuring the photon intensity at the surface of the tissue. method : in this paper the different medical applications, various imaging and simulation techniques of nirs imaging is describe...

the aim of this work is to investigate the variational discretization and mixed finite element methods for optimal control problem governed by semi linear parabolic equations with integral constraint. the state and co-state are approximated by the lowest order raviart-thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is not discreted. optimal error estimates in l2 are established for the state...

The numerical solution of partial differential equations frequently requires the solution of large and sparse linear systems. Using generic programming techniques like in C++ one can create solver libraries that allow efficient realization of “fine grained interfaces”, i. e. with functions consisting only of a few lines, like access to individual matrix entries. This prevents code replication a...

Expression Templates (ET) are a powerful tool for development of user-friendly numerical libraries. By this concept and by operator overloading in C++, numerical algorithms can be implemented in a mathematical notation without decreasing the performance in comparison to optimized C or FORTRANcodes. In this paper, we present newExpression Template techniques. First, we explain the concept of “Ea...

We propose a new algorithm for two-phase, piecewise-smooth segmentation with shape prior. The image is segmented by a binary template that is deformed by a regular geometric transformation. The choice of the template together with the constraint on the transformation introduce the shape prior. The deformation is guided by the maximization of the likelihood of foreground and background intensity...

the impact resistance of new lightweight panel is studied. this panel consists of two thin metal layers bonded together by intermediate fiber/epoxy layers (mcm-sheets). to simulate a behavior of this kind of impact problem, explicit and implicit finite element software abaqus is used. in order to validate the finite element modeling, these results have been compared with experimental test resul...

In this work, Si0.8Ge0.2 is deposited onto the rib-patterned Si (1 1 10) template oriented in the [1 -1 0] direction. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) reveals that the rib sidewalls reshape into pyramid-covered (0 0 1) and smooth {1 1 3} facets, respectively, while the {1 0 5} facets-bounded lateral SiGe nanowires dominate the rib top along the [5 5 -1] direction. At both the rib shoulder sites an...

In situations where automatic mesh generation is unsuitable, the finite element (FE) mesh registration technique known as mesh-match-and-repair (MMRep) is an interesting option for quickly creating a subject-specific FE model by fitting a predefined template mesh onto the target organ. The irregular or poor quality elements produced by the elastic deformation are corrected by a 'mesh reparation...
