A crashworthiness design of foam-filled local nanocrystallized thin-walled tubes (FLNTs) is proposed by using foam-filled structures and ultrasonic impact surface treatment. The crashworthiness and deformation modes of FLNTs are studied using an experiment and numerical analysis. A finite element numerical model of FLNTs is established, and the processing and test platform of FLNTs is set up to verify the numerical predication and analytical design. The results show that local nanocrystallization is an effective method to enhance crashworthiness for hexagonal FLNTs. The FLNTs with four circumferential continuous stripes of surface nanocrystallization exhibit a level of 47.12% higher specific energy absorption than the untreated tubes in numerical simulations for tubes with a 50% ratio of nanocrystallized area. Inspired by the strength mechanism, a novel nested foam-filled local surface nanocrystallization tube is further designed and studied in detail.

Graded foam-filled channels are a very promising solution for improving the thermal performance of heat sinks because of their customized structures that leave large amounts of room for heat transfer enhancement. Accordingly, this paper proposes a comprehensive optimization framework to address the design of such components, which are subjected to a uniform heat flux boundary condition. The graded foam is achieved by parameterizing the spatial distributions of porosity and/or Pores Per Inch (PPI).

This paper presents experimental results of both quasi-static compression and low-velocity impact behavior for tri-axial bio-composite structural panels using a spherical load head. Panels were made having different core and face configurations. The results showed that panels made having either carbon fiber fabric composite faces or a foam-filled core had significantly improved impact and compressive performance over panels without either.

Purpose: To make a patient- and treatment-specific computed tomography (CT) scan and to create a three-dimensional (3D) patient model for superficial hyperthermia treatment planning (SHTP).
Patients, Materials, And Methods: Patients with recurrent breast adenocarcinoma in previously irradiated areas referred for radiotherapy (RT) and hyperthermia (HT) treatment and giving informed consent were included. After insertion of the thermometry catheters in the treatment area, a CT scan in the treatment position was made.

Because of recent concerns about the potential dangers of rupture and leakage of silicone-gel implants, radiologists are often requested to evaluate the integrity of normal breast implants. Clinical studies suggest that MR imaging can accurately depict implant rupture. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to illustrate the spectrum of MR appearances of breasts in patients with silicone-gel implants.
