The Investigation of the Mechanical Behavior of a Braided Parachute Suspension Line Using a Mesomechanical Finite Element Model

open access: yesTextiles
Parachute suspension lines shed vortices during descent, and these vortices develop oscillating aerodynamic forces that can induce forced parasitic vibrations of the lines, which can have an adverse impact on the parachute system.

Divisor braids

open access: yes, 2016
We study a novel type of braid groups on a closed orientable surface $ $. These are fundamental groups of certain manifolds that are hybrids between symmetric products and configuration spaces of points on $ $; a class of examples arises naturally in gauge theory, as moduli spaces of vortices in toric fibre bundles over $ $.

HILDEN BRAID GROUPS

open access: yesJournal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications, 2012
Let Hgbe a genus g handlebody and MCG2n( Tg) be the group of the isotopy classes of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of Tg= ∂ Hg, fixing a given set of 2n points. In this paper we study two particular subgroups of MCG2n( Tg) which generalize Hilden groups defined by Hilden in [Generators for two groups related to the braid groups, Pacific J.

Trajectories of Physical Function in Canadian Children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives We describe trajectories of physical function in children newly diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and identify trajectories with persisting functional impairments and associated baseline characteristics. Methods We included patients enrolled in the Canadian Alliance of Pediatric Rheumatology Investigators (CAPRI) Registry ...

On the unrestricted virtual singular braid

open access: yesAnalele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Ovidius Constanta: Seria Matematica
Let n, m ∈ ℕ, n ≥ 3 and n ≥ m ≥ 2. In this paper, we study some properties of the unrestricted virtual singular braid of braid monoid UVSBmn and group UVSGmn.

Blocked-Braid Groups

open access: yesApplied Categorical Structures, 2013
We introduce and study a family of groups $\mathbf{BB}_n$, called the blocked-braid groups, which are quotients of Artin's braid groups $\mathbf{B}_n$, and have the corresponding symmetric groups $ _n$ as quotients. They are defined by adding a certain class of geometrical modifications to braids.

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Thermo‐Mechanically Recyclable Smart Textiles from Circularly Knitted Liquid Crystal Elastomer Fibers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Reprogrammable multi‐material smart textiles knitted from liquid crystal elastomer fibers undergo 2D and 3D deformation under thermal and photo stimuli. Circularly knitted tubular structures reversibly contract in radial and axial directions, enabling autonomous climbing, liquid release, and micro pumping.
