Simultaneous Embeddings with Few Bends and Crossings [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
A simultaneous embedding with fixed edges (SEFE) of two planar graphs $R$ and $B$ is a pair of plane drawings of $R$ and $B$ that coincide when restricted to the common vertices and edges of $R$ and $B$. We show that whenever $R$ and $B$ admit a SEFE, they also admit a SEFE in which every edge is a polygonal curve with few bends and every pair of edges

Toughness of Confined Auxetic Foams

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Auxetic (negative Poisson's ratio) materials offer benefits such as impact mitigation, thermal insulation, vibration damping, and reduced shear strain, although their fracture mechanics are largely unexplored. This study investigates damage initiation and propagation in confined re‐entrant auxetic foams from polyurethane via experimental ...

Analytical formulation for the bend-loss in single-ring hollow-core photonic crystal fibers [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Understanding bend-loss in single-ring hollow-core photonic crystal fibers is becoming of increasing importance as the fibers enter practical applications. While purely numerical approaches are useful, there is a need for a simpler analytical formalism that provides physical insight and can be directly used in the design of PCFs with low bend-loss.

A Simulative Evaluation of Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Structures in the Context of Elastocaloric Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simulative evaluation of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures for an elastocaloric application under compressive load is performed. For the evaluation of the structure's performance, surface/volume ratio, generated heat and invested mechanical work are taken into account and are compared to a tube as a reference specimen.

Key Trends and Insights in Smart Polymeric Skin Wearable Patches

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Intelligent polymers, which respond to various physical and biological stimuli, are explored for the development of skin wearable patches in biomedical applications. Smart polymers, also known as intelligent or stimuli‐responsive polymers, play a crucial role in the development of advanced wearable patches due to their versatility and softness.

Bind and bend

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2001
Farsad et al. report on page 193 that recombinant endophilin has an intrinsic ability to tubulate membranes. The tubulation appears to help during synaptic vesicle endocytosis in nerve terminals. Figure Recombinant endophilin creates tubules.

Mechanical Properties of Different Austenitic High‐Nitrogen Steel Grades Produced by Powder Mixtures

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The effect of nitrogen content on the mechanical properties of austenitic stainless steels is investigated using tailored powder metallurgical processing. Different PM routes, including additive manufacturing, enable controlled nitrogen uptake and complex geometries.

Soft Electrohydraulic Bending Actuators for Untethered Underwater Robots

open access: yesActuators
Traditional underwater rigid robots have some shortcomings that limit their applications in the ocean. In contrast, because of their inherent flexibility, soft robots, which have gained popularity recently, offer greater adaptability, efficiency, and ...
