Mathematical Modelling of Different Types of Body Support Surface for Pressure Ulcer Prevention [PDF]
, 2014 Pressure ulcer is a common problem for today’s healthcare industry. It occurs due to external load applied to the skin. Also when the subject is immobile for a longer period of time and there is continuous load applied to a particular area of human body,

Investigating the stability of viscoelastic stagnation flows in T-shaped microchannels [PDF]
, 2009 We investigate the stability of steady planar stagnation flows of a dilute polyethylene oxide (PEO) solution using T-shaped microchannels. The precise flow rate control and well-defined geometries achievable with microfluidic fabrication technologies ...

Effect of the contraction ratio upon viscoelastic fluid flow in three-dimensional square-square contractions [PDF]
, 2011 In this work we investigate the laminar flow through square–square sudden contractions with various contraction ratios (CR¼2.4, 4,8and12), using a Newtonian fluid and a shear-thinning viscoelastic fluid.

Vibration Suppression Through Variable Stiffness and Damping Structural Joints
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020 This paper introduces a new semi-active strategy for vibration control of truss and frame structures equipped with variable stiffness and damping joints which consist of a shape memory polymer (SMP) core reinforced by an SMP-aramid composite skin.
