Characterizing the Mechanical Performance of a Bare-Metal Stent with an Auxetic Cell Geometry
This study develops and characterizes the distinctive mechanical features of a stainless-steel metal stent with a tailored structure. A high-precision femtosecond laser was used to micromachine a stent with re-entrant hexagonal (auxetic) cell geometry ...

More on Lensing by a Cosmological Constant [PDF]
The question of whether or not the cosmological constant affects the bending of light around a concentrated mass has been the subject of some recent papers. We present here a simple, specific and transparent example where $\Lambda$ bending clearly takes place, and where it is clearly neither a coordinate effect nor an aberration effect.

Deflection Ductility of Slabs Made of Hybrid Mesh-And-Fibre-Reinforced Cementbased Composite
Steel Mesh-Reinforced Cementitious Composites (SMRCC) (traditionally known as ferrocement) have been in existence for few decades, but have some limitations set on element thickness and number of reinforcing mesh layers and the resulting deflection ...

Buckling of elastic fibers in a shear flow
Three-dimensional dynamics of flexible fibers in shear flow are studied numerically, with a qualitative comparison to experiments. Initially, the fibers are straight, with different orientations with respect to the flow. By changing the rotation speed of

Analysis of Strain-Hardening Viscoplastic Wide Sheets Subject to Bending under Tension
The present paper provides an accurate solution for finite plane strain bending under tension of a rigid/plastic sheet using a general material model of a strain-hardening viscoplastic material.

Elastic Bending Modulus for Single-Layer Black Phosphorus [PDF]
We derive an analytic formula for the elastic bending modulus of single-layer black phosphorus (SLBP) based on the valence force field model. The obtained elastic bending modulus is 4.8028 eV and 7.9905 eV along the armchair and zigzag directions in the SLBP, respectively. These values are obviously larger than the bending modulus of 1.4 eV in graphene

Aspects of flexural behavior of high strength concrete elements with or without steel fibers [PDF]
Steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFRHSC) is concrete made of hydraulic cements containing fine or fine and coarse aggregate and discontinuous discrete steel fibers. In tension, SFRHSC fails only after the steel fiber breaks or is pulled out

Abstract Purpose An evaluation of the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of the Halcyon ring delivery system (RDS) for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatment to relatively small (1–3 cm) brain lesions. Methods After completing the extensive in‐house quality assurance checks including Winston–Lutz test and independent dose verification via MD Anderson ...

AbstractIn this paper we study the three-dimensional curves generated by the iterated bending of a piece of wire, which are generalizations of the so-called “dragon curves” or “paper-folding sequences” previously studied by Davis and Knuth, Mendès France, and other writers. These “wire-bending sequences” have several surprising properties.
