Background
Renal resistive index (RRI), which reflects intrarenal arterial impedance, is routinely measured when undertaking renal Doppler ultrasonography (RDU). Increased RRI has been suggested to reflect renal parenchymal disease and imply risk of kidney disease progression. But this has been disputed and extra‐renal haemodynamic factors rather than intra‐renal factors have been proposed to determine...
This study investigates the dynamic responses of carbon nanotubes (CNT) reinforced composite sandwich shells with multi magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) core. The CNT reinforced composite skin layers are made by using hand layup technique. An experimental modal test has been carried for with and without CNT reinforced composite cylindrical shells under clamped free condition. The 3D finite element...
