Shale is a critical hydrocarbon reservoir generally considered a typical transverse isotropy with a vertical axis of symmetry vertical transverse isotropic (VTI) media. Petrophysical experiments ...

New research into the muscles of world-class athletes and performance artists has revealed that a small number of "general motor skills" raise these experts above regional-level and novice competitors ...

In this paper we introduce a smart ultrasound approach for non-invasive real-time quantification of shear wave velocity (SWV) and elastic fractional anisotropy (FA) in locally transverse isotropic ...

This quick-hit circuit targets multiple core muscles, including the rectus abdominis (the six-pack muscles), transverse abdominis (the deep abdominal muscles), internal and external obliques, as ...

Abstract This paper presents a single variable new first-order shear deformation plate theory with only one fourth-order partial governing differential equation. It may be noted that, first-order ...
