Mechanical characterisation and modelling of resistance welding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Resistance welding is used very extensively in industry for a wide range of applications. Knowledge and measurement of the dynamic characteristics of resistance welding equipment is important in the design of the equipment and in optimization of ...

On the mechanical interplay between intra- and inter-synchronization during collective cell migration : a numerical investigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Collective cell migration is a fundamental process that takes place during several biological phenomena such as embryogenesis, immunity response, and tumorogenesis, but the mechanisms that regulate it are still unclear.

A micro-mechanics model of dentin mechanical properties

open access: yesBiomaterials, 2004
Application of a micro-mechanics cell model to dentin composites for determination of their effective mechanical properties is discussed in this paper. The dilute micro-mechanics model for fibre-reinforced composites is utilized and the corresponding cell model is chosen to consist of a circular hollow cylinder filled with liquid or gas phase, which is

Structure-Based Statistical Mechanical Model Accounts for the Causality and Energetics of Allosteric Communication

open access: yesPLoS Comput. Biol., 2016
Allostery is one of the pervasive mechanisms through which proteins in living systems carry out enzymatic activity, cell signaling, and metabolism control.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Contribution of postnatal collagen reorientation to depth-dependent mechanical properties of articular cartilage

open access: yes, 2011
The collagen fibril network is an important factor for the depth-dependent mechanical behaviour of adult articular cartilage (AC). Recent studies show that collagen orientation is parallel to the articular surface throughout the tissue depth in perinatal

Mechanical behavior of osteoporotic bone at sub-lamellar length scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Osteoporosis is a disease known to promote bone fragility but the effect on the mechanical properties of bone material, which is independent of geometric effects, is particularly unclear.

A fully coupled hydro-mechanical model for the modeling of coalbed methane recovery

open access: yes, 2017
Most coal seams hold important quantities of methane which is recognized as a valuable energy resource. Coal reservoir is considered not conventional because methane is held adsorbed on the coal surface. Coal is naturally fractured, it is a dual-porosity

Mechanical Model of Dexterous Continuum Manipulators with Compliant Joints and Tendon/External Force Interactions

open access: yesIEEE/ASME transactions on mechatronics, 2016
Dexterous continuum manipulators (DCMs) have been widely adopted for minimally- and less-invasive surgery. During the operation, these DCMs interact with surrounding anatomy actively or passively.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
