The purpose of this paper is to perform an error analysis of the variational integrators of mechanical systems subject to external forcing. Es- sentially, we prove that when a discretization of contact order r of the La- ...

Accurate dynamic mechanical measurements were performed on poly(monocyclohexyl itaconate) at different frequencies over a wide temperature range. Three main relaxations could be observed at different temperatures, which ...

OBJECTIVES: To compare the new tools to evaluate the energy dissipated to the lung parenchyma in mechanically ventilated children with and without lung injury. We compared their discrimination capability between both ...
