Slow motion of a sphere towards a plane through confined non-Newtonian fluid [PDF]
The time needed for the contact of two spheres or a sphere with a rigid plane is mainly controlled by the hydrodynamic drainage of the film located in the gap as long as its thickness is out of range of the Van der Waals interactions.

Determination of cellular strains by combined atomic force microscopy and finite element modeling [PDF]
Many organs adapt to their mechanical environment as a result of physiological change or disease. Cells are both the detectors and effectors of this process.

Fluid Reconstruction and Editing from a Monocular Video based on the SPH Model with External Force Guidance [PDF]
We specifically present a general method for monocular fluid videos to reconstruct and edit 3D fluid volume. Although researchers have developed many monocular video‐based methods, the reconstructed results are merely one layer of geometry surface, lack ...

A 'reciprocal' theorem for the prediction of loads on a body moving in an inhomogeneous flow at arbitrary Reynolds number [PDF]
Several forms of a theorem providing general expressions for the force and torque acting on a rigid body of arbitrary shape moving in an inhomogeneous incompressible flow at arbitrary Reynolds number are derived.

Arc pressure and weld metal fluid flow whilst using alternating shielding gases Part 2 : arc force determination [PDF]
The transient variation of the shielding gas present in the alternating shielding gas process produces a dynamic action within the liquid weld metal. Flow vectors opposite in direction have been reported due to the various forces acting on the weld metal
