Enodvascular coils treat intracranial aneurysms (IAs) by causing them to occlude by thrombosis. Ideally, coiled IAs eventually occlude in the long-term. However, 20.8% are found incompletely occluded at treatment follow-up. Computer simulations of coiling and its effect on aneurysmal flow could help clinicians predict treatment outcomes a priori, but it requires accurate modeling of coils and their deployment procedure. In addition to being accurate, coiling simulations must be efficient to be used as a bedside tool. To date, several virtual coiling techniques have been developed, but they lack either accuracy or efficiency. For example, finite-element-based virtual coiling methods model the mechanics of coiling and are highly accurate, at the expense of high computational cost (and thus low efficiency). Geometric-rule-based coiling techniques ignore the mechanics and therefore are computationally efficient, but may produce unrealistic coil deployments. In order to develop a virtual coiling method that combines accuracy and efficiency, we propose a novel virtual coiling algorithm that models coil deployment with nonlinear mechanics and nonlinear contact. Our approach is potentially more accurate than existing simple techniques because we model coil mechanics. It is also potentially faster than finite-element techniques because it models the most time-consuming part of these algorithms-namely contact resolution-with a novel formulation that resolves contact faster with exponential functions. Moreover, we model the coils pre-shape as well as coil packaging into the catheter, both of which are important to model but are lacking from most existing techniques.

We study propagation of traveling waves in a blood filled elastic artery with an axially symmetric dilatation (an idealized aneurysm) in long-wave approximation.The processes in the injured artery are modelled by equations for the motion of the wall of the artery and by equation for the motion of the fluid (the blood). For the case when balance of nonlinearity, dispersion and dissipation in such a medium holds the model equations are reduced to a version of the Korteweg-deVries-Burgers equation with variable coefficients. Exact travelling-wave solution of this equation is obtained by the modified method of simplest equation where the differential equation of Riccati is used as a simplest equation. Effects of the dilatation geometry on the travelling-wave profile are considered.

Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a life-threatening blood spot in humans brain if it ruptures and causes cerebral hemorrhage. It is challenging to detect whether an IA has ruptured from medical images. In this paper, we propose a novel graph based neura l network named GraphNet to detect IA rupture from 3D surface data. GraphNet is based on graph convolution network (GCN) and is designed for graph-level classification and node-level segmentation. The network uses GCN blocks to extract surface local features and pools to global features. 1250 patient data including 385 ruptured and 865 unruptured IAs were collected from clinic for experiments. The performance on randomly selected 234 test patient data was reported. The experiment with the proposed GraphNet achieved accuracy of 0.82, area-under-curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve 0.82 in the classification task, significantly outperforming the baseline approach without using graph based networks. The segmentation output of the model achieved mean graph-node-based dice coefficient (DSC) score 0.88.
The report is devoted to the results of the numerical study of the virtual cathode formation conditions in the relativistic electron beam under the influence of the self-magnetic and external axial magnetic fields. The azimuthal instability of the re lativistic electron beam leading to the formation of the vortex electron structure in the system was found out. This instability is determined by the influence of the self-magnetic fields of the relativistic electron beam and it leads to the decrease of the critical value of the electron beam current (current when the non-stationary virtual cathode is formed in the drift space). The typical dependencies of the critical current on the external uniform magnetic field value were discovered. The effect of the beam thickness on the virtual cathode formation conditions was also analyzed.
We propose a projection-based monolithic model order reduction (MOR) procedure for a class of problems in nonlinear mechanics with internal variables. The work is is motivated by applications to thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) systems for radioactive w aste disposal. THM equations model the behaviour of temperature, pore water pressure and solid displacement in the neighborhood of geological repositories, which contain radioactive waste and are responsible for a significant thermal flux towards the Earths surface. We develop an adaptive sampling strategy based on the POD-Greedy method, and we develop an element-wise empirical quadrature hyper-reduction procedure to reduce assembling costs. We present numerical results for a two-dimensional THM system to illustrate and validate the proposed methodology.

In this work, we propose a design of acoustic meta-surfaces in sub-wavelength scale enabling independent modulations of phase and amplitude. Each unit cell of the acoustic meta-surface consists of simple conventional space-coiling structure added wit h an air layer, which can be analyzed as two equivalent slabs with non-dispersion effective parameters. The amplitude depends on the space-coiling structure regardless of the air layer, and the phase can be further adjusted by the air layer independent to the amplitude. The acoustic meta-surface covers an entire phase change of 2-pi and amplitude change of one. We demonstrate an acoustic illusion effect by using the acoustic meta-surface screen, which works well as a full-control discontinuous boundary to support phase and amplitude differences between the original and illusion patterns. The incident field of a point source is transformed into a target field of the point source scattered by an object with shadow area behind it.
