The design parameters, platinum loading, platinum mass ratio, electrolyte volume fraction, thickness of catalyst layer and agglomerate radius, are optimised by a multiple surrogate model and their sensitivities are analysed by a Monte Carlo method based approach.
Moreover, utilizing the proposed models, we systematically investigate the influence of the characteristics of particles and interphase such as the high packing density and geometries of elliptical particles, and interphase fraction, thickness and stiffness on the elastic moduli of particle-reinforced composites.
Processes of sand remobilization, injection, and extrusion are complex and depend on many interrelated factors including: fluid(s) properties (e.g. pressure, volume, composition), parent unit and host-strata characteristics (e.g. depositional architecture, grain size and distribution, clay-size fraction, thickness, permeability) and burial depth at the time of injection.
This contribution sheds light on the coupled effects of anisotropic particle geometries (i.e., shape and size) and reinforced/weak interphase characteristics (i.e., volume fraction, thickness, moduli and Poisson ratio) on the elastic properties of particle-reinforced composites (PRCs) at nano- and micro-scales.
Dope concentration determines the general morphology of the fibre, such as the porosity (voidage fraction), thickness of the active layer and order of magnitude of surface porosity (fraction of surface area that is pores), and thus it sets the permeability and level of selectivity that are likely to be achieved on coating.
By including derived standard evaluation equivalent values for trabecular bone volume fraction, thickness and spacing, users are also able to compare outcomes with normative or other values reported at standard distal radius and tibia scan sites [ 59].
Detailed parametric studies have been carried out to investigate the influences of skew angle, CNT volume fraction, thickness-to-width ratio, aspect ratio and boundary conditions.
In particular, the simultaneous use of all the design variables such as fiber volume fractions, thickness and fiber orientation angles of layers is conducted, in which the fiber volume fractions are taken as continuous design variables with the constraint on manufacturing process while the thickness and fiber orientation angles are considered as discrete variables.
Trabecular volume fraction and thickness were increased by MK-4 (P <.05).
Following μCT analysis there were no differences between CON and VCD, but OVX mice had lower bone volume fraction, trabecular thickness, and a trend for decreased connectivity density.
We set out to determine the biomechanical relationship between ejection fraction, wall thickness and global myocardial strain.
