Dielectric Elastomer Actuators as Safe and Effective Tools for Mechanostimulation of Human Cells
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Replicating physiological forces is crucial for realistic cell models. Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) offer a soft alternative, though their high voltages raised toxicity concerns. We demonstrate that DEA stimulation causes no cell damage, cell death or cell‐cycle disruption, while activating mechanosensitive responses.

A Bioinspired Underwater Soft Robot for Active Intravesical Liquid Delivery and Mixing
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A bioinspired underwater soft robot is reported that integrates an elastic strain energy‐driven soft robotic pump with a programmable flexible magnetic valve, enabling remotely controlled, programmable, and sustained liquid release and mixing. This functionality is enabled by the synergistic integration of elastic strain energy‐driven pumping and ...

Measurement of Geometry of Small Axisymmetric Sheet Metal Component after Forming
Medžiagotyra, 2015 Axisymmetric small components shape has many 3 dimensional curves, diagonals and “hidden” areas that are subject to changes during production and these changes are necessary to detect.

A nonlinear rotation-free shell formulation with prestressing for vascular biomechanics
Scientific Reports, 2020 We implement a nonlinear rotation-free shell formulation capable of handling large deformations for applications in vascular biomechanics. The formulation employs a previously reported shell element that calculates both the membrane and bending behavior ...

Droplet, EarlyView.Instead of suppressing the ubiquitous “coffee‐ring” effect, we harness it by integrating stretching, inclination, and rotation of soft substrates. This sequential control allows manipulation of global pattern symmetry and local morphology. By incorporating substrate inclination and rotation of stretched soft substrates, we create diverse patterns that ...

On the question of residual stress distribution in surface hardened parts
Вестник Самарского университета: Естественнонаучная серияThe influence of the distribution of initial deformations presented in the form of algebraic functions on the diagram of residual axial stresses in the cross-section of a part is studied. Smooth solid steel parts with a diameter of 10 mm and parts of the
