Buckling and strength analysis of panels with discrete stiffness tailoring [PDF]
Continuous variation of stiffness across flat plates has been shown, theoretically, to improve buckling performance by up to 60%. However, steered fibre manufacturing methods cannot achieve the minimum radius of curvature required for improvement whilst ...

Nonlinear dynamic intertwining of rods with self-contact [PDF]
Twisted marine cables on the sea floor can form highly contorted three-dimensional loops that resemble tangles. Such tangles or hockles are topologically equivalent to the plectomenes that form in supercoiled DNA molecules. The dynamic evolution of these

A Superlubricated Magnetically Steerable Microcatheter with Integrated Optical and Fluidic Channels
A magnetically steerable microcatheter with integrated optical and fluidic channels is developed for multifunctional navigation in tortuous anatomical environments. A surface‐grafted hydrogel coating enables low‐friction actuation. The device demonstrates stable light and fluid delivery during magnetic manipulation, offering a compact platform for ...

Symplectic method for the influence of surface effect on thermal buckling of graded porous nanobeams
The influences of surface effect on the thermal buckling behavior of graded porous nano-beams were analyzed. Based on the Grutin-Murdoch surface elasticity theory and Euler beam theory, the thermal buckling of graded porous nano-beams was studied by ...

Pressure-driven wrinkling of soft inner-lined tubes
A simple equation modelling an inextensible elastic lining of an inner-lined tube subject to an imposed pressure difference is derived from a consideration of the idealised elastic properties of the lining and the pressure and soft-substrate forces.

Buckling Cascade of Thin Plates: Forms, Constraints and Similarity [PDF]
We experimentally study compression of thin plates in rectangular boxes with variable height. A cascade of buckling is generated. It gives rise to a self-similar evolution of elastic reaction of plates with box height which surprisingly exhibits ...

Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation
A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful
