On Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Wedging in Two Contact Node System
A necessary and sufficient condition for wedging in two node system is explored. When external loading is zero, wedging is possible if and only if the constraint vectors consisting of contact stiffness and coeffi...

Open AccessLinear Micro-patterned Drug Eluting Balloon (LMDEB) for Enhanced Endovascular Drug Delivery
In-stent restenosis (ISR) often occurs after applying drug eluting stents to the blood vessels suffering from atherosclerosis or thrombosis. For treatment of ISR, drug eluting balloons (DEB) have been develope...

Open AccessFemale-specific myoinhibitory peptide neurons regulate mating receptivity in Drosophila melanogaster
Upon mating, fruit fly females become refractory to further mating for several days. An ejaculate protein called sex peptide (SP) acts on uterine neurons to trigger this behavioural change, but it is still unc...

Explicit solution of the frictional contact problem of anisotropic materials indented by a moving stamp with a triangular or parabolic profile
The frictional contact problem of anisotropic materials under a moving rigid stamp is solved exactly. Inside the contact region, the Coulomb friction law is applied. Both Galilean transformation and Fourier tr...

Structure–property relationships for partially aliphatic polyimides
The structure–property relationship was studied for partially aliphatic polyimides containing alicyclic dianhydride and aromatic diamine unit. Rel-[1S,5R,6R]-3-oxabicyclo[3,2,1]octane-2,4-dione-6-spiro-3′-(tet...

Micro-Mechanical Behavior of a Unidirectional Composite Subjected to Transverse Shear Loading
The effects of interphase between fibers and matrix on the micro-and macro-mechanical behaviors of fiber-reinforced composite lamina subjected to transverse shear load at remote distance have been studied. The...

Dynamic analysis of flexible media by dynamic elastica theory with aerodynamic effect
The paper presents a numerical analysis to predict the behavior of the flexible media by considering the effect of dynamic contact interaction between media and guide, and the aerodynamic forces. The result of...
