Ultrasonic assisted grinding is a novel method for improving the grinding process of difficult-
to-cut materials. In the present research a novel setup has been designed and manufactured …

Conventional Kelvin-cell-based metal foam (KMF) has triangular or circular struts. This study
proposes a KMF with elliptical struts instead of such struts. Two schemes of transforming a …

Curved-crease (CC) origami differs from prismatic, or straight-crease origami, in that the
folded surface of the pattern is bent during the folding process. Limited studies on the …

Meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) is a possible treatment option for patients with joint
pain after meniscectomy. It is necessary that the joint be aligned and stable. Current …

Ultrasonic vibration-assisted dry grinding has been focused on to alleviate the cutting fluids'
negative impact on environment, avoid the unnecessary waste, and reduce the …

Abstract The Boundary Element Method (BEM) is applied for the solution of the problem of
void formation in fibrous reinforcements used in composite materials. Stokes and Darcy …

Objectives In transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), assessment of the aortic annulus
is mandatory. We sought to investigate the correlation between trans-oesophageal …

The formation and dynamics of a single drop of liquid under the influence of gravity can be
experienced as everyday phenomena, and have been the subject of scientific investigations …

The ovalization and microcracks may lead to a considerable reduction of the stabilizer bar
fatigue strength and in consequence to its premature damage. Analytical stabilizer bar …

In fitting concentric geometric objects to digitized data, two approaches are commonly used
in practice, the geometric approach and the algebraic approach. The former is iterative, and …
