An introductory exposition of the virtual element method (VEM) is provided. The intent is to make this method more accessible to those unfamiliar with VEM. Familiarity with the finite element method for solving 2D linear elasticity problems…
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a technique to evoke muscle contraction through low-energy electrical signals. FES can animate paralysed limbs. Yet, an open challenge remains on how to apply FES to achieve desired movements. This…
Most cellular solids are random materials, while practically all theoretical results are for periodic models. To be able to generate theoretical results for random models, the finite element method (FEM) was used to study the elastic…
The automated detection of sexism in memes is a challenging task due to multimodal ambiguity, cultural nuance, and the use of humor to provide plausible deniability. Content-only models often fail to capture the complexity of human…
Finite element (FE) analysis guides the design and verification of nearly all manufactured objects. It is at the core of computational engineering, enabling simulation of complex physical systems, from fluids and solids to multiphysics…
In orthodontic treatment, the biological response of the tooth, periodontal ligament, and bone complex to orthodontic force is crucial in influencing treatment outcomes. The challenge lies in accurately measuring, estimating, and predicting…
This paper introduces an accurate edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) for electromagnetic analysis for both two dimensional cylindrical and three dimensional cartesian systems, which shows much better performance in terms of…
Existing humanoid control systems often rely on teleoperation or modular generation pipelines that separate language understanding from physical execution. However, the former is entirely human-driven, and the latter lacks tight alignment…
Human beings possess the most sophisticated computational machinery in the known universe. We can understand language of rich descriptive power, and communicate in the same environment with astonishing clarity. Two of the many contributors…
Biolinguistics is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the biological foundations, evolution, and genetic basis of human language. It treats language as an innate biological organ or faculty of the mind, rather than a cultural tool,…
