Open AccessPhysical Regime Sensitivity
This work presents a novel sensitivity approach that quantifies sensitivity to regimes of a model’s state variables rather than constitutive model parameters. This Physical Regime Sensitivity (PRS) determines ...

Open AccessBiodegradable interstitial release polymer loading a novel small molecule targeting Axl receptor tyrosine kinase and reducing brain tumour migration and invasion
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive brain tumour. The neoplasms are difficult to resect entirely because of their highly infiltration property and leading to the tumour edge is uncl...

Sequence variability of the human cytomegalovirus UL141 Open Reading Frame in clinical strains
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) displays genetic polymorphisms. HCMV disease and tissue tropism may be related to specific genomic variability among strains. This work analyzed the genetic polymorphism of UL141 o...

Influence of shock prestraining on the formation of shear localization in 304 stainless steel
Adiabatic shear localization was studied in both annealed (as-received) and shock-prestrained 304 stainless steels (304 SS). A forced shear technique was used to probe the evolution of shear localization under...

The mechanical threshold stress constitutive-strength model description of HY-100 steel
A generalized three-term mechanical threshold stress (MTS) strength model description, considering athermal, thermal, and strain-hardening contributions to flow stress, is employed to characterize the constitu...

Influence of Tungsten Alloying Additions on the Mechanical Properties and Texture of Tantalum
Tantalum, like all bcc metals, exhibits deformation behavior which is substantially influenced by alloying, temperature, and strain rate. Recently, the mechanical response, in particular the high-strain-rate r...
