Aspects of Bending High-Borated Austenitic Stainless Steel Sheets for Interim Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel

Metals, 2023
The presented work is aimed at the evaluation of the cold bending capacity of high-borated austenitic stainless steel sheets. Due to their excellent neutron-absorbing capability, borated stainless steels belong to the group of tailor-made structural ...

Micropleated Nanofibrous Filters for High‐Efficiency Submicron Aerosol Filtration: A Comparative Study with Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Gas Mask Filters

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents micropleated filters manufactured by needleless electrospinning. Nanofibers are deposited onto uniaxially pre‐stretched substrates that contract upon release, forming densely packed micropleats. This architecture increases effective surface area without enlarging the filter size, achieving quality factors comparable to those of ...

Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

On the strain gradient bending deformations

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2013
Bending deformations are reviewed in the context of strain gradient linear elasticity, considering the complete set of strain gradient components. It is well understood that conventional bending deformations depend on the collective uniaxial extension of

Bending Moduli of Charged Membranes Immersed in Polyelectrolyte Solutions

, 2006
We study the contribution of polyelectrolytes in solution to the bending moduli of charged membranes. Using the Helfrich free energy, and within the mean-field theory, we calculate the dependence of the bending moduli on the electrostatics and short ...

Trace Nickel Activated Biphasic Core‐CuOii/Shell‐CuOi Secondary Microspheres Enable Room Temperature Parts‐Per‐Trillion‐Level NO2 Detection

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An idea of designing novel sensors is proposed by creating appropriate Schottky barriers and vacancies between isomorphous Core‐CuOii/ Shell‐CuOi secondary microspheres and enhancing catalytic and spill‐over effects, and electronegativity via spontaneous biphasic separation, self‐assembly, and trace‐Ni‐doping.

Experimental Analysis and Physics‐Based Analytical Model on Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Twisted and coiled artificial muscles made from silver‐coated nylon fibers are investigated through experiments and analytical modeling. The actuators achieve contractions up to 19.3% and specific work of 8 kJ kg−1, though efficiency remains limited (≈0.15%) by thermal losses.

Bending Moments in Free-Swimming Flagella [PDF]

, 1970
The bending of a flagellum, such as the flagellum which forms the tail of a sea-urchin spermatozoon, is the result of active mechanochemical processes occurring within the flagellum itself, which cause it to bend actively throughout its length (Gray ...

Challenges during Flash Lamp Annealing of Aerosol‐Deposited Barium Titanate Films

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Aerosol deposition is used to rapidly deposit barium titanate films with thicknesses ranging from 2 to 16 μm at room temperature, eliminating the need for further densification. However, to recover the electromechanical properties, annealing is required, which limits the usage of temperature‐sensitive substrates.

Accelerated Bend Minimization [PDF]

Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications, 2012
Summary: We present an \(\mathcal O(n^{3/2})\) algorithm for minimizing the number of bends in an orthogonal drawing of a plane graph. It has been posed as a long standing open problem at Graph Drawing 2003, whether the bound of \(\mathcal O(n^{7/4}\sqrt{\log n})\) shown by \textit{A. Garg} and \textit{R.
