Particle adhesion to the vasculature depends critically upon particle/cell properties (size, receptors), scale/geometric features of vasculature (diameter, bifurcation, etc.) and local hemodynamic factors (stress, torque, etc.) Current investigations using in vitro parallel-plat…

The vast majority of constitutive models for solids implemented in available finite element and finite difference codes are based on “elliptical” mathematical formulations. Particulate materials exhibit strain localization that requires mathematical treatment based on “hyperboli…
The actual shear capacity of existing concrete structures is often unable to meet current standard requirements. This may be attributable to increased load requirements, inadequate shear provisions in the original design or increased demand in shear capacity owing to flexural st…
There are a large number of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in seismically active areas of the world that are not designed and constructed in accordance with modern seismic design provisions. These buildings are vulnerable to severe damage or collapse due to their low lateral…
