A new elastoplastic J 2 -flow Acrylic Fridge Magnet models with thermal effects is proposed toward simulating thermo-coupled finite deformation behaviors of shape memory polymers.In this new model, an elastic potential evolving with development of plastic flow is incorporated to characterize the stress-softening effect at unloading and, moreover, t
Posttraumatic stress disorder following childhood sexual and physical abuse: a study protocol for an 11-week randomised controlled trial comparing imaginal exposure and imagery rescripting
Background: There is a vast amount of evidence supporting the effectiveness of trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy in treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).However, it remains unclear which specific treatment is most effective for patients with PTSD following childhood sexual and physical abuse (CSPA).Although Imaginal Exposure (IE)
Measurement of Elastic Properties of Brittle Materials by Ultrasonic and Indentation Methods
The measurements of acoustic properties of three brittle materials i.e., ITO (alkaline earth boro-aluminosilicate) glass, bulk metallic glass (BMG) and nickel-based superalloy (CM247LC) are conducted in this work to Mixing Bowl obtain various properties.The elastic moduli of materials are derived from the results by simple acoustic speed-elasticity
A Hybrid Method based on SA and VNS Algorithms for Solving DAP in DDS
Data allocation problem (DAP) is of great importance in distributed database systems (DDS).Minimizing the total cost of transactions and queries is the main objective of DAP which is mostly affected by the volume of transmitting data through the system.On the other hand, the volume of transmitting data depends on the fragment-to-site allocations me
