Drug Elution

Each component of a drug-eluting stent (DES) contributes to the safety of the device. Continuous efforts are being dedicated to the search of the optimal compromise between facility of use, safety and long-term efficacy. Shorter balloons reduce the vascular trauma beyond the stent struts; the metallic composition of the stent platform and the platform itself interact with the vascular wall in a long-lasting equilibrium between radial force, vessel patency and reparative cellular regrowth. The modality of drug elution is largely regulated by the chosen drug carrier, rather than by the chemical properties of the drug itself. Drug elution can be accomplished by permanent polymers that remain in the vessel wall forever, by biodegradable polymers that leave the naked metallic structure behind after their complete absorption, or even by direct release of the drug from stent reservoirs. The clinical performance of DESs has been exhaustively assessed in a large number of studies that have showed rapid and continuous improvements, from the first-generation DESs to the latest devices, based on substantial changes in stent design and polymer composition.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.

Abstract An analytical membrane model is used to study how wheel imperfections are converted into radial force variation of the tire-wheel assembly. This model indicates that the radial run-out of the rim generates run-out of the tire-wheel assembly at slightly less than the one to one ratio that was expected. Lateral run-out of the rim is found to generate radial run-out of the tire-wheel assembly at a ratio that is dependent on the tire design and the wheel width. Finite element studies of a production tire validate and quantify the results of the membrane model. Experiments using a specially constructed precision wheel demonstrate the behavior predicted by the models. Finally, a population of production tires and wheels show that the lateral run-out of the rims contribute a significant portion to the assembly radial force variation. These findings might be used to improve match-mounting results by taking lateral rim run-out into account.

Considering the negative vertical dynamics effect of switched reluctance motor on an in-wheel motor driving system, this article presents a modeling and suppression method for unbalanced radial force of the in-wheel motor driving system. To tease out the coupling relationship within the in-wheel motor driving system, this investigation, respectively, explores the principle of unbalanced radial force and the coupling relationship between rotor eccentricity and road excitation based on the suspension response model with unbalanced radial force under road excitation. The switched reluctance motor nonlinear analytical model was fitted by the Fourier series, and its radial electromagnetic force was modeled and analyzed by the Maxwell stress tensor method. To mitigate the influence of radial electromagnetic force fluctuation and unbalanced radial force amplitude value under eccentricity condition on the in-wheel motor driving system, the elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm was adopted to improve radial electromagnetic force fluctuation and unbalanced radial force amplitude value of the switched reluctance motor. The simulation results show that the proposed optimization method can suppress the radial electromagnetic force fluctuation and unbalanced radial force amplitude value, and the negative effect of vertical dynamics of the in-wheel motor driving system is conspicuously mitigated.

We study the behaviour of a charge bound on a graphene annulus under the assumption that the particle can be treated as a massless Dirac electron. The eigenstates and relative energy are found in closed analytical form. Subsequently, we consider a large annulus with radius ρ∈[5000,10,000]a0 in the presence of a static magnetic field orthogonal to its plane and again the eigenstates and eigenenergies of the Dirac electron are found in both analytical and numerical form. The possibility of designing filiform currents by controlling the orbital angular momentum and the magnetic field is shown. The currents can be of interest in optoelectronic devices that are controlled by electromagnetic radiation. Moreover, a small radial force acts upon the annulus with a stretching effect. A linearly polarized electromagnetic field propagating in the orthogonal direction is added; the time evolution of the operators show that the acceleration of the electron is proportional to the rate of change of the spin of the particle.

AbstractA pile of grains, even when at rest in a silo, can display fascinating properties. One of the most celebrated is the Janssen effect, named after the pioneering engineer who explained the pressure saturation at the bottom of a container filled with corn. This surprising behavior arises because of frictional interactions between the grains through a disordered network of contacts, and the vessel lateral walls, which partially support the weight of the column, decreasing its apparent mass. Here, we demonstrate control over frictional interactions using ferromagnetic grains and an external magnetic field. We show that the anisotropic pairwise interactions between magnetized grains result in a radial force along the walls, whose amplitude and direction is fully determined by the applied magnetic field. Such magnetic Janssen effect allows for the fine tuning of the granular column apparent mass. Our findings pave the way towards the design of functional jammed materials in confined geometries, via a further control of both their static and dynamic properties.
