There are few works which optimize the drug loading step and often therapeutics are dosed in the microdevices through laborious and time consuming procedures.
The ductility of the walls tested was evaluated using the work damage indicator calculated at each loading step from the hysteretic loops.
At each loading step FSD pictures and EBSD measurements were carried out to study the microstructural evolution of the alloy, namely grain rotations and misorientations, stress-induced martensite formation and crack propagation.
The rotational angles between the connected flange and sheeting were recorded at each loading step, from which the moment rotation curves were produced and presented for each test case.
Under mixed loading conditions, the finite element analysis is conducted with two steps: pressure loading step and bending step.
The beam-to-column joint rotations are measured at each loading step for both end corners of the beam.
At each loading step, the values of applied load, vertical displacements, and the beam's end corner rotations were recorded.
Defining the loading step ΔGP as a small portion of the maximum load, and computing the axial force at the geometric centroid, see Fig. 10.
Other outputs, at each loading step, included distributions of fluid pressure and velocity in the fracture plane, maximum and average (mechanical) aperture of the fracture.
Each displacement loading step is set to 0.01σ, and the GFMD algorithm will update each atom's position until the atomic force meets the convergence criteria L 1-norm = 0.01ε/σ.
In the adaptive NSPs, in each loading step, stiffness matrix is calculated based on elastic and inelastic properties of elements and the LP corresponding to the mode shape of the same step is produced.
