Piezoelectric coefficient and dielectric constant of PZT-5H vary with electric field. In this work, variations of these coefficients with electric field are included in finite element modelling of a cantilevered plate ...

Intracortical canals are a major contributor to cortical bone porosity and influence its mechanical response. Canal networks act as stress concentrators and the magnitude of which depends on the size and spatial distribution ...

n recent years, non-stationary, non-invasive imaging methodologies demonstrated as reliable, quantitative, remote characterization and evaluation methods for characterization of biological samples. This present work ...

In light of recent focus on the behaviour of the natural structures for revolutionary technological growth, spider web seems to have seized considerable attention of product designer due to its amazing behaviour. In ...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) adversely affects the normal functioning, intrinsic material properties, and structural integrity of many tissues, including bone. It is well known that the clinical utility of areal bone ...

Unbalance, misalignment, partial rub, looseness and bent rotor are one of the most commonly observed faults in rotating machines. These faults cause breakdowns in rotating machinery and create undesired vibrations while ...

The oscillatory dynamics of picolitre water droplets following impact onto a range of hydrophobic surfaces is found to be influenced by the underlayer stiffness and thickness. The relative contributions of surface functionality ...

The co-existing secondary phases, in off-stoichiometric Cu-Zn-Sn-S (CZTS) solar cells, are one of the main causes of performance gap between earth abundant CZTS and matured Cu-In-Ga-Se (CIGS) solar cells technology. Highly ...

A new conceptual utilization of Silicon on Insulator (SOI) wafer is reported for bi-directional vertical electrostatic fringe field tuning of the Micro Electro Mechnical Systems (MEMS) micro accelerometer for compensating ...

Objective The paucity of mechanical ventilators necessitates development of innovative respiratory support devices. Methods: We developed the Artificial Breathing Capability Device (ABCD) to automate compression of ...
