Designing the Bending Stiffness of 2D Material Heterostructures
Advanced Materials, 2021Abstract2D monolayers represent some of the most deformable inorganic materials, with bending stiffnesses approaching those of lipid bilayers. Achieving 2D heterostructures with similar properties would enable a new class of deformable devices orders of magnitude softer than conventional thin‐film electronics.

On bending stiffness of composite tubes
Composite Structures, 2011Abstract Theoretical formulations are provided for the determination of stiffness of composite tubes. A three-dimensional laminate theory is used to determine the equivalent flexural stiffness 〈EI〉 for composite tubes. The same theory is also used to determine the load versus axial strain of the tubes.

ELASTIC SHEETS WITH BENDING STIFFNESS
The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, 1992Summary: A theory of large deformations of elastic membranes with bending stiffness is formulated, by applying the minimum-energy principle to a strain-energy density that depends on the second derivatives of the deformation as well as the first derivatives. Controllable deformations are determined.

INEXTENSIBLE NETWORKS WITH BENDING STIFFNESS
The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, 1986Summary: The theory of inextensible networks, applicable to cloth or cable networks, is modified to take into account the bending stiffness of the fabric. It is assumed that each thread or cable carries a bending couple proportional to its curvature. The resulting continuum theory is a special form of finite-deformation plate theory.

The Bending Stiffness of the Trunk
Spine, 1986Much research is done on the physical properties of the isolated human spine. However, little knowledge exists about the relationship between the physical properties of an isolated spine and the physical properties of the whole trunk in vivo. The first part of this article is a literature review.

Microfabricated tunable bending stiffness device
Proceedings IEEE Thirteenth Annual International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (Cat. No.00CH36308), 2002This paper reports a device with tunable bending stiffness realized by microfabrication technology. Based on the newly proposed principles, two types of devices whose bending stiffness were controlled by electrostatic force and pneumatic force were fabricated.

The bending stiffness of the human tibia
Calcified Tissue Research, 1975The bending of isolated human cadaveric tibiae in the antero-posterior and medio-lateral planes was studied. It was found that the mean bending stiffness in the antero-posterior plan was 5.989 Nm/mm and in the medio-lateral plane 3.588 Nm/mm.

Bending Stiffness of a Crystalline Actin Bundle
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2004The acrosomal process of the sperm of the horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) is a unique crystalline actin bundle, consisting of multiple actin filaments cross-linked by the actin-bundling protein, scruin. For successful fertilization, the acrosomal bundle must penetrate through a 30 microm thick jelly coat surrounding the egg and thus it must be ...

BENDING STIFFNESS OF CATHETERS AND GUIDE WIRES
Biomedizinische Technik/Biomedical Engineering, 2002An important property of catheters and guide wires to assess their pushability behavior is their bending stiffness. To measure bending stiffness, a new bending module with a new clamping device was developed. This module can easily be mounted in commercially available tensile testing equipment, where bending force and deflection due to the bending ...

DNA Bending Stiffness on Small Length Scales
Physical Review Letters, 2008Bending properties of short (15-90 bp), double-stranded DNA fragments are quantified using fluorescence resonance energy transfer and small angle x-ray scattering. Results from both types of measurements indicate that short double-stranded DNA fragments exhibit surprisingly high flexibility.
