He takes thin rods of colored glass, melts them with a gas flame and fuses the parts to create startlingly realistic botanic specimens, as well as insects and fruits (including blueberries).
The relationships between the contact pressure, the real contact area and the deformation of asperities were investigated for realistic steel specimens with different roughness in the full engineering loading range up to the material's macro yield stress (Y).
The originality of the work consists in the fact that – compared with other published works – the phenomenon is studied up to tens of milliseconds in a very large pool for theoretical analysis of the bullet/liquid interactions only, and in a realistic fuel tank specimen to consider influence of boundary conditions onto the cavity characteristics (geometry, dynamics).
Meanwhile, most of the other specimens have realistic elasto-plastic and hardening stress strain forms.
The mechanical essays were performed under realistic conditions using 600 cm3 specimens and uniaxial loads typical of automobile traffic.
In order to obtain a more realistic ridging simulation, the specimens containing variously oriented colonies in a textured matrix were also considered.
To this end, finite element simulations are performed in order to calculate the effective magnetization and macroscopic actuation stresses for different specimens with realistic microstructures and varying mechanical preloads.
In the case of RRV, the assumption that healthy animals provide a representative picture of dispersal patterns of infected specimens is realistic because behaviour of rabid animals is different from healthy ones only during the period of morbidity (between 3 and 8 days in raccoon, see McLean 1975).
It explores how artists drawing or painting very realistic images of the same specimen interpret and portray that plant or flower.
Her childhood favorite, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," in which the loving but alcoholic father dies halfway through, is a prime specimen of the realistic vein in children's fiction, from which problem novels evolved.
