Topology polymorphism graph for lung tumor segmentation in PET-CT images
Published 2013-01-01Accurate lung tumor segmentation is problematic when the tumor boundary or edge, which reflects the advancing edge of the tumor, is difficult to discern on chest CT or PET. We propose a ‘topo-poly’ graph model to improve ...Open AccessArticle -
Static friction between rigid fractal surfaces
Published 2015-09-17Using spheropolygon-based simulations and contact slope analysis, we investigate the effects of surface topography and atomic scale friction on the macroscopically observed friction between rigid blocks with fractal surface ...Open AccessArticle -
A numerical study of bioinspired nacre-like composite plates under blast loading
Published 2015-08-01In this paper, a multi-layered composite inspired by the hierarchical structure of nacre and made of layers of aluminium alloy AA 7075 bonded with toughened epoxy resin is introduced for blast resistant applications. The ...Open AccessArticle -
Effects of heat treatment and strain rate on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 6061 Al alloy
Published 2015-01-23In the present work, the effects of heat treatment and strain rate on mechanical behaviour and microstructure evolution of aluminium alloy (AA) 6061 have been investigated. The micro-crack initiation and crystallographic ...Open AccessArticle -
Experimental characterisation of the mechanical properties and microstructure of Acrocomia mexicana fruit from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico
Published 2014-12-01A study of the mechanical properties and microstructure at different drying conditions of the Cocoyol fruit endocarp of Acrocomia Mexicana palm found in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico was performed. Quasi-static uniaxial ...Open AccessConference paper
