Anisotropy
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Anisotropy'A physical property showing different values in relation to the direction in or along which the measurement is made. The physical property may be with regard to thermal or electric conductivity or light refraction. In crystallography, it describes crystals whose index of refraction varies with the direction of the incident light. It is also called acolotropy and colotropy. The opposite of anisotropy is isotropy wherein the same values characterize the object when measured along axes in all directions. |

Imaging biomarkers of outcome in the developing preterm brain.
28 Sep 2009 
The neurodevelopmental disabilities of those who were born prematurely have been well described, yet the underlying alterations in brain development that lead to these changes remain poorly understood. Processes that are vulnerable to injury in the ... Read more...
Differential growth and residual stress in cylindrical elastic structures.
11 Sep 2009 Cylindrical forms are among one of Nature's fundamental building blocks. They serve many different purposes, from sustaining body weight to carrying flows. Their mechanical properties are generated through the often complex arrangements of the ... Read more...
A microsphere-based remodelling formulation for anisotropic biological tissues.
11 Sep 2009 Biological tissues possess the ability to adapt according to the respective local loading conditions, which results in growth and remodelling phenomena. The main goal of this work is the development of a new remodelling approach that, on the one ... Read more...
