This paper investigates a simple numerical method, based on the release of a pressurized spherical air volume, to predict or reproduce the main characteristics of the blast environment from the detonation of solid or gaseous charges. This approach aims to give an alternative to the use of a steady-state detonation model and a Jones–Wilkins–Lee equation of state to describe the expansion of the detonation...
In this paper, we analyze the increase in the dynamic flexural strength of concrete according to strain rate. A simple beam with center-point loading and a classical electro-mechanical testing machine are used to determine the static flexural strength. The dynamic measurements are conducted using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) device in the same three-point bending configuration. The outer...
In order to understand and characterize the mechanical property and response of the mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC), we used an atomic force microscope (AFM) combined with a PHANToM haptic feedback device. Atomic force microscopy has rapidly become a valuable tool for quantifying the biophysical properties of single cells or a collection of cells through force measurements. We report herein the...
In current AFM-based nanomanipulation systems, the commercial position closed-loop controller for piezoelectric nanopositioning stages are implemented with success in a wide range of industrial applications. Even if these controllers operate with satisfactory nominal tracking performance, considerable attention has been focused on appropriate control strategies to compensate hysteresis, nonlinearities,...
Real time simulation of deformable object is increasingly important to simulate the behavior of the biological cell and a key challenge of deformable simulation is to satisfy the conflicting requirements of real-time interactivity and physical realism. This paper presents methodologies for dynamic modeling, visual/haptic display and model validation of cell injection. We first investigate the challenging...
To facilitate training of biological cell injection operations, we are developing an interactive virtual environment to simulate needle insertion into biological cells. A key challenge of deformable simulation is to satisfy the conflicting requirements of real-time interactivity and physical realism. This paper presents methodologies for dynamic modeling, visual/haptic display and model validation...
