Three-dimensional evaluation of the transverse rotator cuff muscle's resultant force angle in relation to scapulohumeral subluxation and glenoid vault morphology in nonpathological shoulders

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Matthieu Boubat, Patrick Goetti

Background: Static posterior subluxation of the humeral head (SPSH) results in glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Treatment strategies for SPSH with or without resulting osteoarthritis remain challenging. There is growing interest in evaluating the rotator cuff ...

Active microrheology in corrugated channels: Comparison of thermal and colloidal baths

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Hypothesis: The dynamics of colloidal suspension confined within porous materials strongly differs from that in the bulk. In particular, within porous materials, the presence of boundaries with complex shapes entangles the longitudinal and transverse degre ...

Design and Structural Optimization of Topological Interlocking Assemblies

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Peng Song

We study assemblies of convex rigid blocks regularly arranged to approximate a given freeform surface. Our designs rely solely on the geometric arrangement of blocks to form a stable assembly, neither requiring explicit connectors or complex joints, nor re ...

i-PI 2.0: A universal force engine for advanced molecular simulations

Michele Ceriotti, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, David Mark Wilkins, Bingqing Cheng, Venkat Kapil, Riccardo Petraglia, Gareth Aneurin Tribello, Benjamin Aaron Helfrecht, Mariana Rossi Carvalho, Robert Horst Meissner, Alice Cuzzocrea, Sébastien Pierre Bienvenue, Przemyslaw Juda, Wei Fang

Progress in the atomic-scale modeling of matter over the past decade has been tremendous. This progress has been brought about by improvements in methods for evaluating interatomic forces that work by either solving the electronic structure problem explici ...

Designing a virtual whole body tactile sensor suit for a simulated humanoid robot using inverse dynamics

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji

In this paper, we propose a novel architecture to estimate external forces applied to a compliantly controlled balancing robot in simulations. We use similar dynamics equations used in the controller to find mismatches in the available sensory data and ass ...

Origin of the Spin-Orbital Liquid State in a Nearly J=0 Iridate Ba3ZnIr2O9

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Martin Mansson, Paul Gregory Freeman

We show using detailed magnetic and thermodynamic studies and theoretical calculations that the ground state of Ba3ZnIr2O9 is a realization of a novel spin-orbital liquid state. Our results reveal that Ba3ZnIr2O9 with Ir5+ (5d(4)) ions and strong spin-orbi ...

Thermo-Hydrodynamics in a Closed Loop Pulsating Heat Pipe

Giulia Spinato

Pulsating heat pipes (PHPs) represent a promising solution for passive on-chip, two-phase cooling of micro-electronics, providing advantages such as a simple construction and operation in any gravitational orientation. Unfortunately, the unique coupling of ...

A reconfigurable, tendon-based haptic interface for research into human-environment interactions

Joachim von Zitzewitz

Human reaction to external stimuli can be investigated in a comprehensive way by using a versatile virtual-reality setup involving multiple display technologies. It is apparent that versatility remains a main challenge when human reactions are examined thr ...

Numerical Modeling of Annular Laminar Film Condensation in Circular and Non-Circular Micro-Channels under Normal and Micro-Gravity

Stefano Nebuloni

A theoretical and numerical model to predict film condensation heat transfer in mini, micro and ultra micro-channels of different internal shapes is presented in this thesis. The model is based on a finite volume formulation of the Navier-Stokes and energy ...

Gravity-driven slug motion in capillary tubes

Dani Or, Ivan Lunati

The velocity of a liquid slug falling in a capillary tube is lower than predicted for Poiseuille flow due to presence of menisci, whose shapes are determined by the complex interplay of capillary, viscous, and gravitational forces. Due to the presence of m ...

Young's law and the effects of interfacial energy on the pressure at the solid-fluid interface

Ivan Lunati

In a recent paper [R. Finn, Phys. Fluids 18, 047102 (2006)] the attention has been drawn on the tension component perpendicular to the solid surface that results from Young's law. Considering the problem of a solid sphere floating in zero gravity, it has b ...

Scanning near-field optical microscope based on double-resonant fiber probe montage and its operation in liquids - art. no. 67282D

Giovanni Dietler, Serguei Sekatski, Kanat Dukenbayev

The operation of the scanning near-field optical microscope based on the double-resonant montage of a fiber probe onto the tuning fork (working frequency of the latter, that is 32 kHz, coincides with the second resonance frequency of the bending oscillatio ...

Hydrodynamics of the free surface flow in Pelton turbine buckets

Alexandre Perrig

The design of Pelton turbines has always been more difficult than that of reaction turbines, and their performances lower. Indeed, the Pelton turbines combine 4 types of flows: (i) confined, steady-state flow in the piping systems and injector, (ii) free w ...
