A Comparison Investigation on Cylinder Test in Different Ambient Media by Experiment and Numerical Simulation by Fan Zhang, Fei Shen, Biaobiao Li, Baohui Yuan, Bing Li

“…When the detonation reaction occurs after the charge in the warhead is ignited, the propagation of the detonation wave and the expansion of the detonation product will interact with the wrapped metallic shell and cause the shell material to accelerate, extremely deform, and eventually rupture, which is a typical strong fluid-structure interaction problem. In this paper, a comparison investigation on a cylinder test in different ambient media was implemented by experiment and numerical simulation, respectively. …”

Viscosity Approximation Methods for Nonexpansive Nonself-Mappings in Hilbert Spaces by Rabian Wangkeeree

“…Consider also the iterative processes {yn} and {zn} generated by yn+1=αnf(yn)+(1−αn)(1/(n+1))∑j=0n(PT)jyn, n≥0, and zn+1=(1/(n+1))∑j=0nP(αnf(zn)+(1−αn)(TP)jzn),n≥0, where y0,z0∈C,{αn} is a real sequence in an interval [0,1]. Strong convergence of the sequences {xn},{yn}, and {zn} to a fixed point of T which solves some variational inequalities is obtained under certain appropriate conditions on the real sequences {αn} and {tn}.…”

A Cellular Potts model simulating cell migration on and in matrix environments by Marco Scianna, Luigi Preziosi, Katarina Wolf

“…Wehere present an extended Cellular Potts Model (CPM) able toqualitatively and quantitatively describe cell migrationefficiencies and phenotypes both on two-dimensional substrates andwithin three-dimensional matrices, close to experimental evidence.As distinct features of our approach, cells are modeled ascompartmentalized discrete objects, differentiated into nucleusand cytosolic region, while the extracellular matrix iscomposed of a fibrous mesh and a homogeneous fluid. Our modelprovides a strong correlation of the directionality of migrationwith the topological extracellular matrix distribution and abiphasic dependence of migration on the matrix structure, density,adhesion, and stiffness, and, moreover, simulates that celllocomotion in highly constrained fibrillar obstacles requires thedeformation of the cell's nucleus and/or the activity ofcell-derived proteolysis. …”
