TL;DR: The model presented in this article focuses mainly on the description of mechanical interactions of the growing tumour with the host tissue, their influence on tumour growth, and the attachment/detachment mechanisms between cells and ECM.
Abstract: Resorting to a multiphase modelling framework, tumours are described here as a mixture of tumour and host cells within a porous structure constituted by a remodelling extracellular matrix (ECM), which is wet by a physiological extracellular fluid. The model presented in this article focuses mainly on the description of mechanical interactions of the growing tumour with the host tissue, their influence on tumour growth, and the attachment/detachment mechanisms between cells and ECM. Starting from some recent experimental evidences, we propose to describe the interaction forces involving the extracellular matrix via some concepts coming from viscoplasticity. We then apply the model to the description of the growth of tumour cords and the formation of fibrosis.

TL;DR: In this article, the combustion properties of polypropylene (PP) composites were investigated. And the presence of Al-POSS leads to a decrease in combustion rate with respect to PP, resulting in a decrease of Heat Release Rate (−43% at 10-wt% POSS loading) as well as reduction in CO and CO2 production rates, whereas a negative effect on the above parameters is obtained with octaisobutyl POSS.

TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental and theoretical aspects of point-contact spectroscopy in superconductors are reviewed, and an experimental survey of the most recent applications of this technique is given.
Abstract: Point-contact spectroscopy was originally developed for the determination of the electron–phonon spectral function in normal metals. However, in the past 20 years it has become an important tool in the investigation of superconductors. As a matter of fact, point contacts between a normal metal and a superconductor can provide information on the amplitude and symmetry of the energy gap that, in the superconducting state, opens up at the Fermi level. In this paper we review the experimental and theoretical aspects of point-contact spectroscopy in superconductors, and we give an experimental survey of the most recent applications of this technique to anisotropic and multiband superconductors.

TL;DR: The introduction of discontinuous/non‐differentiable functions in the eXtended Finite‐Element Method allows to model discontinuities independent of the mesh structure, however, to compute the stiffness matrix of the elements intersected by the discontinuity, a subdivision of the element into quadrature subcells aligned with the discontinuit line is commonly adopted.
Abstract: The introduction of discontinuous/non-differentiable functions in the eXtended Finite-Element Method allows to model discontinuities independent of the mesh structure. However, to compute the stiffness matrix of the elements intersected by the discontinuity, a subdivision of the elements into quadrature subcells aligned with the discontinuity line is commonly adopted. In the paper, it is shown how standard Gauss quadrature can be used in the elements containing the discontinuity without splitting the elements into subcells or introducing any additional approximation. The technique is illustrated and developed in one, two and three dimensions for crack and material discontinuity problems
