The modulus of elasticity of some materials changes under tensile and compressive states is simulated by constructing a typical material nonlinearity in a numerical analysis in this paper. The meshless Finite Block Method (FBM) has been developed to deal with 3D semi-infinite structures in the bimodular materials in this paper. The Lagrange polynomial interpolation is utilized to construct the meshless shape function with the mapping technique to transform the irregular finite domain or semi-infinite physical solids into a normalized domain. A shear modulus strategy is developed to present the nonlinear characteristics of bimodular material. In order to verify the efficiency and accuracy of FBM, the numerical results are compared with both analytical and numerical solutions provided by Finite Element Method (FEM) in four examples.

Non-canonical nucleic acid structures possess an ability to interact selectively with proteins, thereby exerting influence over various intracellular processes. Numerous studies indicate that genomic G-quadruplexes and i-motifs are involved in the regulation of transcription. These structures are formed temporarily during the unwinding of the DNA double helix; and their direct determination is a rather difficult task.

This work presents the application of a chemo-mechano-biological constitutive model of soft tissues for describing tissue inflammatory response to damage in collagen constituents. The material model is implemented into a nonlinear finite element formulation to follow up a coronary standard balloon angioplasty for one year. Numerical results, compared with available in vivo clinical data, show that the model reproduces the temporal dynamics of vessel remodeling associated with subintimal damage.

Introduction: This review critically examines the efficacy of dual-modular stems in primary total hip arthroplasty. Given the variability and non-comparability of certain femoral stem designs and stem-neck couplings, with some even being withdrawn from the market, this review offers an in-depth analysis of predominant implant performances.
Areas Covered: The paper explores a brief historical summary related to dual-modular stems, including the complications associated with their use, diagnostic tools for evaluation, analysis of both recalled and currently available models, as well as alternative therapeutic options.

A bimodular material is a kind of material that presents two elastic moduli in tension and compression. In classical thermoelasticity, however, the bimodular material is rarely considered due to its complexity in analysis. In fact, almost all materials will present, more or less, bimodular characteristics, and in some cases, the mechanical properties of materials cannot be fully utilized simply by ignoring the bimodular characteristics.

In this study, the variational method concerning displacement components is applied to solve the large deformation problem of a thin cylindrical shell with its four sides fully fixed and under uniformly distributed loads, in which the material that constitutes the shell has a bimodular effect, in comparison to traditional materials, that is, the material will present different moduli of elasticity when it is in tension and compression. For the purpose of the use of the displacement variational method, the physical equations on the bimodular material model and the geometrical equation under large deformation are derived first. Thereafter, the total strain potential energy is expressed in terms of the displacement component, thus bringing the possibilities for the classical Ritz method.
