Range of Motion and Neutral Zone of All Human Spinal Motion Segments: A Data Collection of 30 Years of In Vitro Experiments Performed Under Standardized Testing Conditions. [PDF]
A comprehensive overview of the range of motion (RoM) and neutral zone (NZ) values of all spinal levels is presented, which were collected during 30 years of in vitro experiments under standardized testing conditions in one institution. This unique summary of RoM and NZ data, acquired under the same loading conditions in the same testing device ...

Comparison of Galerkin and collocation Trefftz formulations for plane elasticity
The purpose of this work is to compare and assess, more in terms of computational efficiency than in terms of accuracy, three alternative implementations of a boundary formulation based on the Trefftz method for linear elastostatics, namely a ...

Pohozhaev and Morawetz Identities in Elastostatics and Elastodynamics
We construct identities of Pohozhaev type, in the context of elastostatics and elastodynamics, by using the Noetherian approach. As an application, a non-existence result for forced semi-linear isotropic and anisotropic elastic systems is established.

Interpolated Adaptive Linear Reduced Order Modeling for Deformation Dynamics
Abstract Linear reduced‐order modeling (ROM) is widely used for efficient simulation of deformation dynamics, but its accuracy is often limited by the fixed linearization of the reduced mapping. We propose a new adaptive strategy for linear ROM that allows the reduced mapping to vary dynamically in response to the evolving deformation state ...

ABSTRACT Numerous mesh‐distortion‐insensitive Petrov‐Galerkin finite element formulations have been developed for the simulation of elastostatic problems. This contribution presents initial results on how these formulations can be extended to linear elastodynamics. In this context, three different approaches are examined, building upon an established 8‐

The Linearized Inverse Boundary Value Problem in Strain Gradient Elasticity
ABSTRACT In this paper we study the linearized version of the strain gradient elasticity equation in ℝ2$$ {\mathbb{R}}^2 $$ with constant coefficients and we prove that one can determine the two Lamé coefficients λ,μ$$ \lambda, \mu $$ as well as the internal strain gradient parameter g$$ g $$, as indicated by Mindlin in his revolutionary papers in 1963–

Robust Inverse Material Design With Physical Guarantees Using the Voigt‐Reuss Net
ABSTRACT We apply the Voigt‐Reuss net, a spectrally normalized neural surrogate introduced in [38], for forward and inverse mechanical homogenization with a key guarantee that all predicted effective stiffness tensors satisfy Voigt‐Reuss bounds in the Löwner sense during training, inference, and gradient‐driven optimization.

A Stable Mixed FE Method for Nearly Incompressible Linear Elastostatics
We present a new, stable, mixed finite element (FE) method for linear elastostatics of nearly incompressible solids. The method is the automatic variationally stable FE (AVS-FE) method of Calo, Romkes and Valseth, in which we consider a Petrov-Galerkin weak formulation where the stress and displacement variables are in the space H(div)xH1, respectively.

Thermally Activated Static Friction Can Explain Earthquake Interactions
Abstract Unlike meteorological hazards, tectonic earthquakes remain hardly predictable, reinforcing their deadly character. This relates to an out‐of‐equilibrium, intermittent dynamic associated with a strong time asymmetry, with few and non‐systematic foreshocks sometimes preceding large earthquakes, while aftershocks are ubiquitous and have been ...

Design and Implementation of a Motivational and Didactically Sound Learning Environment
ABSTRACT For roughly the last three decades, neuroscience has provided us with very detailed information and facts about what learning actually is and how it can be made easier for everyone. Nevertheless, the majority of teachers in schools and lecturers at universities continue to insist on traditional methods.
