Closed Form Constraint Equations Used to Express Frictionless Slip of Multibody Systems Attached to Finite Elements—Application to a Contact between a Double Pendulum and a Beam
PublicationThis paper focuses on the numerical modeling of the dynamics of mechanical systems. Robots that can inspect high-voltage lines inspired this research. Their control systems must anticipate potential grab positions appropriately. We intend to formulate equations dedicated to the numerical description of the robot/cable contact.

ENHANCED EVAPORATION OF THE DROPLETS OF CONDENSATE IN THE ASYMMETRICAL SHOCK WAVE ZONE
PublicationIn the low-pressure part of steam turbine, the state path usually crosses the saturation line in penultimate stages [4,5]. The formation and evolution of these droplets lower the performance of the wet stages of the turbines, and their effects on the efficiency are collectively known as wetness losses [4]. Nowadays, due to work of steam turbines at partial load, process of homogeneous and heterogeneous condensation still is current....

Cardinal regenerative features of the MRL mouse
PublicationIn this review, we discuss recent studies relating to major features of adult MRL mouse biology that contribute to the regenerative responses seen. These include an increased inflammatory cell profile, a unique glycolytic metabolic state typically found during embryogenesis, and a cell cycle phenotype of DNA damage and G2/M arrest. These traits have been found in other mammalian and non-mammalian regenerative systems. How these...

Equitable coloring of corona products of graphs
PublicationIn this paper we consider an equitable coloring of some corona products of graphs G and H in symbols, G o H). In particular, we show that deciding the colorability of G o H is NP-complete even if G is 4-regular and H is K_2. Next, we prove exact values or upper bounds on the equitable chromatic number of G o H, where G is an equitably 3- or 4-colorable graph and H is an r-partite graph, a path, a cycle or a complete graph.

On the use of uniaxial one-parameter damage laws for estimating fatigue life under multiaxial loading
PublicationThe goal of this paper is to evaluate the capabilities of different one-parameter fatigue laws to estimate crack initiation in notched components under multiaxial loading. Fatigue damage is accounted for through stress-based, strain-based, and energy-based approaches while the cyclic plasticity at the notch-controlled process zone is estimated using linear-elastic simulations. The results show that energy-based formulations established...
