Tribology of ZrC Coatings and Spherical Tips Acquired with Extraordinarily Stiff, Metal Atomic Force Microscopy Probes

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this research, ZrC coatings are evaluated against various counterprobes at the microscale using novel super‐stiff atomic force microscopy cantilevers. The chemical composition of the coating is shown to be an important factor influencing coating hardness and Young's modulus, while surface roughness, counterprobe hardness, and surface energy are the ...

Three dimensional graph drawing with fixed vertices and one bend per edge [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
We prove that for every graph $G$, given fixed locations for the vertices of $G$ in $\mathbb{Z}^3$, there is a three-dimensional grid-drawing of $G$ with one bend per edge. The best previous bound was three bends per edge.

Bending tensions and the bending rigidity of fluid membranes

open access: yesJournal de Physique II, 1993
It is shown theoretically that the lateral tension associated with bending may in effect reduce the elastic resistance to curvature of fluid membranes. In particular, the spontaneous curvature of surfactant monolayers gives rise to a reduction of the bending rigidity.

Effects of Increased Viscosity on the Movements of Some Invertebrate Spermatozoa [PDF]

open access: yes, 1966
In the wave pattern of a flagellum generating planar undulatory bending waves, bending and unbending are represented by rather abrupt transitions between bent and unbent states (Brokaw & Wright, 1963; Brokaw, 1965). The magnitude of these transitions is

The Nonlinear Visco‐Hyperelastic Damage Mechanics of Individual Electrospun Polycaprolactone Fibers: Experiments and Modeling

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the complex mechanics of individual electrospun polycaprolactone fibers under small and large strains. Combining experiments with a visco‐hyperelastic damage model, this work reveals and quantifies these fibers’ nonlinear behavior, including strain‐stiffening, viscoelasticity, and damage.

From Nature to Engineering: Mortar Volume and Interfacial Mechanics in Bioinspired Ceramics

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural armors like nacre, this study explores how varying the volume fraction of the soft mortar layer impacts the interfacial strength and toughness of bioinspired ceramics. Experimental and computational analysis reveals that higher mortar volumes increase energy dissipation but reduce interfacial stiffness, offering insights for ...

Quality Enhancement of Laser Powder‐Bed Fusion Parts by Acoustically Assisted Additive Manufacturing by Laser Powder‐Bed Fusion and its Application to Lattice Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing technologies like laser powder‐bed fusion offer great design freedom and individualization of products down to a batch size of one. However, parts fabricated with this technology suffer from poor quality. Acoustic assistance during the build process can minimize these drawbacks.

Bending the Binary

open access: yes, 2014
Friend: “Are you going to the Gender Bender Dance?” Me: “I think so. I probably won’t dress up though; I figure I already bend gender enough every day.” Friend: “What do you mean? Like you’re not feminine?” Me: “Yeah!” Friend: “No, Chelsea! Of course you
