Arterial stiffness, a leading marker of risk in hypertension, can be measured at material or structural levels, with the latter combining effects of the geometry and composition of the wall, including ...

Ammo.js driver support has been added. Please see Ammo Driver for documentation. CANNON.js support may be deprecated in the future. When using webpack, you need to ensure that your loader for .js ...

You heard it here first! The new Otis solver in Houdini 21 uses Vertex Block Descent! They made some nice improvements for stability, including several new hessian approximations. It also runs in ...

Abstract: Drawing on screw theory and the virtual joint method, this paper presents a general and hierarchical approach for semianalytical stiffness modeling of parallel mechanisms. The stiffness ...

Double-row tapered roller bearings have been widely used in various equipment recently due to their compact structure and ability to withstand large loads. The dynamic stiffness is composed of contact ...

Liver fibrosis, a condition characterized by extensive deposition and cross-linking of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, is idiosyncratic in cases of chronic liver injury. The dysregulation of ECM ...

The extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is derived from the traditional finite element method for discontinuous problems. It can simulate the behavior of cracks, which significantly improves the ...

Cardiomyocytes are permanently exposed to mechanical stimulation due to cardiac contractility. Passive myocardial stiffness is a crucial factor, which defines the physiological ventricular compliance ...
