Analytical Stiffness Matrix for Curved Metal Wires [PDF]
The paper presents an analytic stiffness matrix for curved thin metal wires, derived by the application of the second Castigliano’s Theorem. The matrix accounts both bending and axial stiffness contributions in plane.

Matrix stiffness, endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis
Abstract Background Atherosclerosis (AS) is the leading cause of the human cardiovascular disease (CVDs). Endothelial dysfunction promotes the monocytes infiltration and inflammation that participate fundamentally in atherogenesis. Endothelial cells (EC) have been recognized as mechanosensitive cells and have different responses to distinct ...

Nonswelling and Hydrolytically Stable Hydrogels Uncover Cellular Mechanosensing in 3D
While matrix stiffness regulates cell behavior on 2D substrates, recent studies using synthetic hydrogels have suggested that in 3D environments, cell behavior is primarily impacted by matrix degradability, independent of stiffness.

Modeling the effect of fracture orientation on porus media anisotropy using the T-matrix method [PDF]
Fracture orientation is crucial in porous media anisotropy. In the current study we investigate the role of fracture orientation based on a novel Rock Physics method - the T-matrix approach. This method allows us to study the fracture porosity, shape and

The typically-used element torsional stiffness GJ/L (where G is the shear modulus, J the St. Venant torsion constant, and L the element length) may severely underestimate the torsional stiffness of thin-walled nanostructural members, due to neglecting ...
