Are better conducting molecules more rigid?

open access: yes, 2006
We investigate the electronic origin of the bending stiffness of conducting molecules. It is found that the bending stiffness associated with electronic motion, which we refer to as electro-stiffness, $\kappa_{e}$, is governed by the molecular orbital ...

The Gaussian stiffness of graphene deduced from a continuum model based on Molecular Dynamics potentials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We consider a discrete model of a graphene sheet with atomic interactions governed by a harmonic approximation of the 2nd-generation Brenner potential that depends on bond lengths, bond angles, and two types of dihedral angles.

Collapse Transition of Two-Dimensional Flexible and Semiflexible Polymers

open access: yes, 2006
The nature of the globule-coil transition of surface-confined polymers has been an issue of debate. Here this 2D collapse transition is studied through a partially directed lattice model. In the general case of polymers with positive bending stiffness ($\

The origin of stiffening in cross-linked semiflexible networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Strain stiffening of protein networks is explored by means of a finite strain analysis of a two-dimensional network model of cross-linked semiflexible filaments.

Elastic Curves With Variable Bending Stiffness

open access: yesStudies in Applied Mathematics
ABSTRACTWe study stationary points of the bending energy of curves subject to constraints on the arc length and the curve's holonomy while simultaneously allowing for a variable bending stiffness along the arc length of the curve. Physically, this can be understood as a model for an elastic wire with isotropic cross section of varying thickness.

Dual plating for fixation of humeral shaft fractures: A mechanical comparison of various combinations of plate lengths

open access: yesActa Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2016
Objective: The role of plate configuration was found inconclusive on the biomechanical effects of the plate size and hole number for dual plate constructions in humeral shaft fractures. The purpose of this study was to test the biomechanical stability of

Bistable Mechanisms 3D Printing for Mechanically Programmable Vibration Control

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a 3D‐printed bistable mechanism integrated into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) for mechanically adaptive passive vibration suppression. Through optimized geometry, the bistable design provides adaptable vibration reduction across a broad range of scenarios, achieving effective vibration mitigation without complex controls or external ...

Buckling of elastic filaments by discrete magnetic moments

open access: yes, 2017
We study the buckling of an idealized, semiflexible filament along whose contour magnetic moments are placed. {We give analytic expressions for the critical stiffness of the filament below which it buckles due to the magnetic compression.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
