In the present work, a complete numerical scheme to perform adaptive refinement and coarsening in the context of isogeometric analysis applied to thermomechanics is introduced. In particular, truncated hierarchical B-splines (THB-splines) are ...

Compared to students in traditional undergraduate institutions, vocational college students often face challenges in understanding abstract concepts and dealing with complex formulas. The quality of mechanics education in vocational colleges has been a ...

This paper presents the development and application of digital curriculum resources for the mechanics course, specifically focusing on the integration of finite element technology (FET). By utilizing the finite element software Abaqus, we constructed a ...

Refactoring is a crucial practice used by many developers, available in popular IDEs, like Eclipse. Moreover, refactoring detection tools, such as RefDiff and RefactoringMiner, help improve the comprehension of ...

We engineered DigituSync, a passive-exoskeleton that physically links two hands together, enabling two users to adaptively transmit finger movements in real-time. It uses multiple four-bar linkages to transfer both motion and force, while still ...

The DDDAS2022 Conference featured five keynote presentations, and an invited talk, which addressed important science and technology topics, and provided examples of advances in capabilities enabled or supported by DDDAS-based methods. The ...

The Co-operative Performance Metric (CPM) is the only existing tool for evaluating co-located game play experiences but has not yet been extensively studied. To observe how effectively the CPM captured co-located and co-operative player behaviour, ...

The paper presents the design, modelling, fabrication and testing of a new electromechanical structure for a tuneable RF MEMS capacitor based on an in-plane torsion generated by the in-plane forces developing during polarization of a parallel ...

This paper outlines the latest work of an on-going long-term sustained research effort to extend and operationalise Leontiev’s original hierarchical activity theory framework to model and support the design, development and analysis of games, ...

Continuum manipulators, inspired by nature, have drawn significant interest within the robotics community. They can facilitate motion within complex environments where traditional rigid robots may be ineffective, while maintaining a reasonable degree of ...

Schematic of various modeling approaches. (a) In continuum length and time scales, NS equations are solved to obtain the velocity field. (b) CDR equations provide the solutions as the concentration of various blood factors ...

• Computational strategies at various length scales are crucial for the field of thrombosis and hemostasis

The field of thrombosis and hemostasis is crucial for understanding and developing new therapies for pathologies such as deep vein thrombosis, diabetes related strokes, pulmonary embolisms, and hemorrhaging related diseases. In the ...

• An infinite mapping layer to efficiently model unbounded domains for elliptic PDEs.

We revisit and investigate the application of an infinite mapping layer in the context of different physical fields. This layer remaps the infinite physical domain to a finite extension covering the boundary of the computational ...

The primary aim of this paper is to identify and theoretically validate the relationships between core game design elements and mechanics, user motivation and engagement and consequently learning. Additionally, it tries to highlight the moderating role ...

This work explores the collision process at foot contact in models of legged robots. In particular, we highlight that for legged systems the widely used assumption of no sliding of the contact points can yield inconsistent outcomes. For certain contact ...

The paper is devoted to teaching engineering subjects in the field of study "Restoration and renovation of architectural heritage." It demonstrates the necessity of changing the existing approach to teaching engineering design and construction to ...

A simplified one dimensional rate dependent model for the evolution of plastic distortion is obtained from a three dimensional mechanically rigorous model of mesoscale field dislocation mechanics. Computational solutions of variants of this minimal ...

This paper develops a generalized enriched finite element method to analyze the displacement and stress fields near a blunt crack tip by including the near-field analytic solutions to the shape functions of a conventional isoparametric element using the ...

The presence of voids in Cu metallization represents a key reliability issue for ultra-large scale integration technology. In particular, the interface between the Cu and capping layers represents a critical location where the stress state of the Cu ...

The mechanical properties (Young's modulus, hardness, wear resistance) of aluminium nanofilms on silicon substrate are studied. Size effect on these mechanical properties are exhibited. Young's modulus, hardness and wear resistance increases when the ...

A pedagogy of training students think in the way of mechatronics is introduced in this article. The importance of teachers' working style in training students to think in the way of mechatronics is stated. The reason of combination of different ...
