Predicting Articular Cartilage Constituent Material Properties Following In Vitro Growth Using a Proteoglycan-Collagen Mixture Model
… continuum electromechanical Poisson-Boltzmann unit cell model for proteoglycan interactions. The resulting proteoglycan model was combined with a novel collagen fibril model and a ground substance matrix material to create a polyconvex constitutive finite element model of a<a>rticular …

Load transfer in the stiffener-to-skin joints of a pressurized fuselage
… rings. Periodicity permits the analysis of a unit cell model consisting of a portion of the shell wall centered over one stringer-ring joint. The stringer-ring- shell joint is modeled in an idealized manner; the stiffeners are mathematically permitted to pass through one another without …

Nano-Micromechanics: Modeling theEffective Response of Polymer Nanocomposites
… exists a strong body of work in the literature modeling the effects of interfacial regions on the effective properties of polymer nanocomposites. In particular, the usefulness and validity of using continuum scale micromechanics models to describe the properties of nanocomposites has been …

A skeleton-and-bubble model of elastic open-cell foams for finite element analysis at large deformations
We formulate a new unit-cell model of elastic open-cell foams. In this model, the conventional skeleton of open-cell foams is supplemented by fitting a thin-walled bubble within each cavity of the skeleton, as a substitute for the membranes that occlude the openings of the skeleton in elastic …
