Monolithic Framework to Simulate Fluid‐Structure Interaction Problems Using Geometric Volume‐of‐Fluid Method

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional fluid‐structure interaction (FSI) framework is developed using the geometric volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) interface capturing method and applied to assess largescale turbulent FSI interactions. The monolithic FSI framework is extensively validated, and despite the discontinuities across the interface, the FSI framework delivers stable and ...

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Electrical Modalities in the Rehabilitation of Peripheral Nerve Injuries: State of the Literature and Current Clinical Applications

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are a common cause of long‐term motor and sensory disability despite advances in microsurgical repair. Functional recovery following PNI depends not only on axonal regeneration, but also on preservation of distal nerve pathways, maintenance of neuromuscular junction integrity, prevention of irreversible muscle ...

Streamwise Vorticity in Simple Mechanical Flapping Wings

, 2007
The presence of streamwise vorticity in the vicinity of the wing tip contributes to lift in thin flat plate zero pitch angle flapping wings in quiescent air. In creating flapping wing micro air vehicles it is desirable to maintain only the mechanical and

Complications of Cochlear Implant Surgery in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: A Systematic Review

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Hearing loss disproportionately affects low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Recent advances in cochlear implant surgery have benefitted patients globally, but the risk of complications in LMICs may be heightened due to social and structural factors.

On the Proper Treatment of Dynamics in Cognitive Science

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This essay examines the relevance of dynamical ideas for cognitive science. On its own, the mere mathematical idea of a dynamical system is too weak to serve as a scientific theory of anything, and dynamical approaches within cognitive science are too rich and varied to be subsumed under a single “dynamical hypothesis.” Instead, after first ...

Assessing and Quantifying Variability Across Vacuum‐Assisted Resin Infusion Variants for Aerospace‐Grade Composite Manufacturing

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Radar‐plot comparison of consolidation quality and flexural performance of composite laminates manufactured by six vacuum‐infusion routes, evaluated at the resin‐inlet and vacuum‐port regions. ABSTRACT Conventional vacuum‐assisted resin transfer molding (C‐VARTM) is recognized as a cost‐effective resin infusion technique for manufacturing large‐scale ...
