(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
© 2018 IEEE. This paper presents an improved piezoelectric sensor fabricated using reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-filled polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer composite that is able to sense the linear force applied onto its ...
Viscoelastic behaviour of Bovine Myocardiam and valvular tissue: Applications in Bio prosthetic heart valve with enhanced properties
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Cardiovascular diseases are among the major causes of morbity and mortality. Particularly, the prevalence of heart valve disease(damaged heart valve leaflet) is one of the most common ailment. In elderly people, every year ...
Band gap characteristics of periodic gyroscopic systems
(
Academic Press
, 2018 , Article)
The stop and pass bands (i.e. the band gaps) characteristics are determined for gyroscopic systems by developing an approach which is compatible with such class of systems which is based on the concept of Bloch wave ...
