A biomechanical model for the gravid uterus B. Irfanoglu & E. Karaesmen Department of Engineering Sciences, Middle East Technical University, 06531 Ankara, Turkey ABSTRACT The biomechanics of the uterus is studied on a mathematical model based on a shell of ellipsoid of revolution. The myometrium is treated as a homogenous, isotropic and incompressible elastic material using continuum approach and large deformation theory as introduced by Fliigge and Chou [1] and Green and Adkins [2]. The governing equations which are nonlinear differential equations of boundary value type are solved by the shooting method together with the Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The numerical results showing the variation of stretch ratios with uterine pressure are presented graphically for neo-Hookean and Mooney-Rivlin type of materials. INTRODUCTION The importance of mechanical parameters in uterine activity has been well recognized but, unfortunately, manifested only in relatively small

An improved transformation for universal serendipity elements
Utku, M (1999-10-01)
This paper describes the formulation of shape functions and their derivatives for universal serendipity elements in finite element analysis, which allows for flexibility in locating edge nodes. Universal serendipity elements are defined as isoparametric elements having linear, quadratic and cubic node configurations at their edges in an arbitrary manner. Edge nodes positioned at the same relative distance from corner nodes in both master element and physical element provide improved accuracy over nodes posi...
A CASE STUDY ON THE APPLICABILITY OF INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES IN HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS LESSONS FROM PERSPECTIVE OF TEACHERS
Kara Bardakcı, Elif; Taneri, Pervin Oya; Department of Educational Sciences (2021-9-30)
This research aims to discuss the feasibility of integrating interdisciplinary studies into education in the fields of science and mathematics at the high school level and possible barriers to the integration of these studies into the education system. In order to collect data, document analysis and informal observation were made, semi- structured interviews were designed. Interview questions consist of two parts. In the first part, demographic information; in the second part, the feasibility of interdiscip...
A novel CEM technique for modeling electromagnetic scattering from metasurfaces
ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Mittra, Raj; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Wiley, 2020-03-01)
This paper presents a novel computational electromagnetics (CEM) technique, which hybridizes the periodic finite element method (FEM) with the method of moments (MoM), for efficient numerical modeling of electromagnetic scattering from metasurfaces consisting of truncated periodic or locally varying quasi-periodic array of structures. Based on the quasi-periodic nature of metasurfaces, the periodic FEM is employed to generate high-level macro basis functions (MBFs). Following that, a reduced MoM matrix is f...
An improved method for inference of piecewise linear systems by detecting jumps using derivative estimation
Selcuk, A. M.; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01)
Inference of dynamical systems using piecewise linear models is a promising active research area. Most of the investigations in this field have been stimulated by the research in functional genomics. In this article we study the inference problem in piecewise linear systems. We propose first identifying the state transitions by detecting the jumps of the derivative estimates, then finding the guard conditions of the state transitions (thresholds) from the values of the state variables at the state transitio...
Evaluation of multivariate adaptive non-parametric reduced-order model for solving the inverse electrocardiography problem: a simulation study
Onak, Onder Nazim; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-01)
In the inverse electrocardiography (ECG) problem, the goal is to reconstruct the heart's electrical activity from multichannel body surface potentials and a mathematical model of the torso. Over the years, researchers have employed various approaches to solve this ill-posed problem including regularization, optimization, and statistical estimation. It is still a topic of interest especially for researchers and clinicians whose goal is to adopt this technique in clinical applications. Among the wide range of...
