Embedded discontinuity finite element modeling of fluid flow in fractured porous media

CD Foster, T Mohammad Nejad - Acta Geotechnica, 2013 - Springer
In many geomaterials, particularly rocks and clays, permeability is greatly enhanced by the
presence of fractures. Fracture sets create an overall permeability that is anisotropic …

Mechanics and spiral formation in the rat cornea

T Mohammad Nejad, S Iannaccone… - … and Modeling in …, 2015 - Springer
During the maturation of some mammals such as mice and rats, corneal epithelial cells tend
to develop into patterns such as spirals over time. A better understanding of these patterns …

Three-Dimensional Nonlinear Finite Element Modeling of Mammalian Cornea to Study Mechanics of Spiraling

TM Nejad - 2014 - indigo.uic.edu
The cornea is a transparent tissue in front of the eye that refracts the light and makes vision
possible. A slight change in the geometry of cornea remarkably affects the optical power …
