Design of multi-bandgap metamaterial plate based on composite cylindrical resonators by Zhi Miao, Jianfei Yin, Yu Yang, Yibo Ke, Zhoufu Zheng, Xiaoming Geng, Qian Wang

“…For rapid evaluation of the bandgap bounding frequencies, closed-form formulas are derived using wave theory in conjunction with Hamilton's principle. The composite arrangement of local resonators achieves two low-frequency bandgaps, effectively expanding the bandgap region and enhancing the designability of bandgaps compared to traditional locally resonant plate. …”

2D Fast Vessel Visualization Using a Vessel Wall Mask Guiding Fine Vessel Detection by Sotirios Raptis, Dimitris Koutsouris

“…This provides a chart of likely Vessel Wall Pixels (VWPs) yielding a form of a likelihood vessel map mainly based on gradient filter's intensity and spatial arrangement parameters (e.g., linear consistency). Specific vessel parameters (centerline, width, location, fall-away rate, main orientation) are post-computed by convolving the image with a set of pre-tuned spatial filters called Matched Filters (MFs). …”

Second harmonic generation imaging reveals entanglement of collagen fibers in the elephant trunk skin dermis by Andrew K. Schulz, Magdalena Plotczyk, Sophia Sordilla, David C. A. Gaboriau, Madeline Boyle, Krishma Singal, Joy S. Reidenberg, David L. Hu, Claire A. Higgins

“…We also found that the structural support layer (the dermis) of the elephant trunk contains a distribution of collagen-I (COL1) fibers in both perpendicular and parallel arrangement. The bimodal distribution of collagen is seen across all portions of the trunk, and is dissimilar from that of human skin where one orientation dominates within a body site. …”

Influence of Eccentricity Errors on Load Sharing Performance of the Split Torque and the Power Confluence Gear Transmission System by Zhang Duoli, Zhou Jianxing, Wang Haiwei, Cui Quanwei, Dong Ning, Fei Xiang

“…The results show that the eccentricity error of gears intensifies the amplitude fluctuation of load sharing coefficient of each branch of the system, and the load sharing coefficient of the right branch is smaller than that of the left branch in the closed-loop arrangement. When each level of gear eccentricity error acts independently, the influence of gear eccentricity error on the load sharing coefficient of the branch where the gear is located is more obvious. …”
