Material Parameter Identification and Inverse Problems in Soft Tissue Biomechanics

Material Parameter Identification and Inverse Problems in Soft Tissue Biomechanics

The articles in this book review hybrid experimental-computational methods applied to soft tissues which have been developed by worldwide specialists in the field. People developing computational models of soft tissues and organs will find solutions for calibrating the material parameters of their models; people performing tests on soft tissues will learn what to extract from the data and how t...

Particles in Wall-Bounded Turbulent Flows: Depositions, Re-Suspension and Agglomeration

Particles in Wall-Bounded Turbulent Flows: Depositions, Re-Suspension and Agglomeration

The book presents an up-to-date review of turbulent two-phase flows with the dispersed phase, with an emphasis on the dynamics in the near-wall region. New insights to the flow physics are provided by direct numerical simuation and by fine experimental techniques. Also included are models of particle dynamics in wall-bounded turbulent flows, and a description of particle surface interactions in...

The Art of Modeling Mechanical Systems

The Art of Modeling Mechanical Systems

The papers in this volume present rules for mechanical models in a general systematic way, always in combination with small and large examples, many from industry, illustrating the most important features of modeling. The best way to reach a good solution is discussed. The papers address researchers and engineers from academia and from industry, doctoral students and postdocs, working in the fi...
