Approaches to modelling the shape of nanocrystals
Nano Convergence, 2021 Unlike in the bulk, at the nanoscale shape dictates properties. The imperative to understand and predict nanocrystal shape led to the development, over several decades, of a large number of mathematical models and, later, their software implementations ...

Landmark-free statistical shape modelling reveals effects of age and sex on whole muscle morphology among the triceps surae [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe shape of skeletal muscle has important influences on muscle function, yet studies of three-dimensional shape variation are rarely performed. Analysis of muscle shape variation using traditional tools is limited by lack of anatomical landmarks, but ...

Pedigree Aerodynamic Shape Design of High-Speed Trains [PDF]
Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2022 The aerodynamic performance of high-speed trains is closely related to their head shape. As each train set has its own modelling system, the aerodynamic shape design of head type of a high-speed train must follow a pedigree modelling approach.

Development of Bead Modelling for Distortion Analysis Induced by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing using FEM and Experiment [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 In this research, Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing is modelled and simulated to determine the most suitable bead modelling strategy. This analysis is aimed to predict distortion by means of thermomechanical Finite Element Method (FEM).

Modelling Nuclear Morphology and Shape Transformation: A Review
Membranes, 2021 As one of the most important cellular compartments, the nucleus contains genetic materials and separates them from the cytoplasm with the nuclear envelope (NE), a thin membrane that is susceptible to deformations caused by intracellular forces ...

Modelling of Orthogonal Craniofacial Profiles
Journal of Imaging, 2017 We present a fully-automatic image processing pipeline to build a set of 2D morphable models of three craniofacial profiles from orthogonal viewpoints, side view, front view and top view, using a set of 3D head surface images.
