A study of volumetric contact modelling approaches in rigid tyre simulation for planetary rover application
(Inderscience, 2014-01-01)For planetary rover applications, a volumetric contact modelling approach is used to capture the dynamics of the rigid tyre/soil interface. The volumetric contact model allows for determining closed-form expressions for ... -
Study on fatigue life of bend-twist coupling wind turbine blade based on anisotropic beam model and stress-based fatigue analysis method
(Elsevier, 2019-01-15)Bend-twist coupling (BTC), also called aeroelastic tailoring or passive pitch control method, is often utilized to reduce the fatigue loading on wind turbine blades. With BTC, the blade can twist as it bends, this alleviates ... -
Subtle and Personal Workspace Requirements for Visual Search Tasks on Public Displays
(ACM Press, 2017-05-06)We explore how users approach and define personal space on large, public displays. Our results show that users of public displays use one of two strategies for visual search tasks: minimizers create a small window and work ... -
Subword complexity and power avoidance
(Elsevier, 2019-11-05)We begin a systematic study of the relations between subword complexity of infinite words and their power avoidance. Among other things, we show that –the Thue–Morse word has the minimum possible subword complexity over ... -
Summary and comparison of methods to calculate solar heat gain
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-08)Methods used to calculate the solar gain of windows (including center-glass, edge-glass, and frame) are examined and compared Particular attention is devoted to the public-domain computer programs VISION3 and WINDOW 4.1. ... -
Superhydrophobic flow channel surface and its impact on PEM fuel cell performance
(Oxford University Press, 2014-09-01)Water management is a critical issue in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), and it is normally achieved through the modification of surface wettability condition for the cell components. In this study, ... -
Supplementing glycosylation: A review of applying nucleotide-sugar precursors to growth medium to affect therapeutic recombinant protein glycoform distributions
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)Glycosylation is a critical quality attribute (CQA) of many therapeutic proteins, particularly monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and is a major consideration in the approval of biosimilar biologics due to its effects to ... -
Supporting student development through a cooperative education coaching program
(International Journal of Work-Integrated Learning, 2016)Uptake of new scopes of practice by pharmacists has been slow and inconsistent, which the literature suggests may be related to disconnects between pharmacists' established professional identities and the identities needed ... -
Surface Science of DNA Adsorption onto Citrate-Capped Gold Nanoparticles
(American Chemical Society, 2012-02-28)Single-stranded DNA can be adsorbed by citrate capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), resulting in increased AuNP stability, which forms the basis of a number of biochemical and analytical applications, but the fundamental ... -
Surface solar radiation and lake productivity: Investigating a global relationship
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-14)In recent decades, the intensity and frequency of lake algal blooms have been increasing worldwide. In addition to potentially toxic effects for humans and wildlife, intense algal blooms negatively impact recreation and ... -
Surface Tension of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) in Supercritical Nitrogen: Effect of Polymer Crystallization
(Elsevier, 2009-06-10)Surface tension of a polymer melt in a supercritical fluid is a principal factor in determining cell nucleation and growth in microcellular foaming. This work focuses on the surface tension of a crystalline polymer, high ... -
Surface-Only dynamic deformables using a boundary element method
(Wiley, 2022)We propose a novel surface-only method for simulating dynamic deformables without the need for volumetric meshing or volumetric integral evaluations. While based upon a boundary element method (BEM) for linear elastodynamics, ... -
Surface-Only Liquids
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-07-01)We propose a novel surface-only technique for simulating incompressible, inviscid and uniform-density liquids with surface tension in three dimensions. The liquid surface is captured by a triangle mesh on which a Lagrangian ... -
Surfactant-Structure Dependent Interactions with Modified Starch Nanoparticles Probed by Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2019-02-05)The interactions between the surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate (AOT) and starch nanoparticles hydrophobically modified with the hydrophobic dye pyrene (Py-SNPs) were investigated in ... -
A survey of mathematics-based equivalent-circuit and electrochemical battery models for hybrid and electric vehicle simulation
(Elsevier, 2014-06)In this paper, we survey two kinds of mathematics-based battery models intended for use in hybrid and electric vehicle simulation. The first is circuit-based, which is founded upon the electrical behaviour of the battery, ... -
A Survey on Cache Management Mechanisms for Real-Time Embedded Systems
(Association of Computing Machinery, 2015-11)Multicore processors are being extensively used by real-time systems, mainly because of their demand for increased computing power. However, multicore processors have shared resources that affect the predictability of ... -
Symbolic Model Checking of Product-Line Requirements Using SAT-Based Methods
(IEEE, 2015-05)Product line (PL) engineering promotes the de- velopment of families of related products, where individual products are differentiated by which optional features they include. Modelling and analyzing requirements models ... -
Synchronization of coupled reaction-diffusion neural networks: Delay-dependent pinning impulsive control
