Critical Thickness Ratio for Buckled and Wrinkled Fruits and Vegetables

open access: yes, 2013
Fruits and vegetables are usually composed of exocarp and sarcocarp and they take a variety of shapes when they are ripe. Buckled and wrinkled fruits and vegetables are often observed. This work aims at establishing the geometrical constraint for buckled

Active Metamaterials with Tunable Shear Nonreciprocity and Nonlinear Dynamics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Active gear‐based mechanical metamaterials enable simultaneous control of translational and torsional stiffnesses by 30–100×, break shear reciprocity under positive versus negative loads, broadly tune resonant frequencies, and offer programmable dynamic responses.

Influence of chirality on buckling of inextensible rings subject to dead loading

open access: yesVietnam Journal of Mechanics
A variational approach is studied to understand buckling of inextensible rings made from chiral filaments and subject to dead loading. In opposite to previous literatures in which only in-plane bifurcation is allowed, i.e., the ring deforms only in its ...

Direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional surface instability patterns in thin film-compliant substrate structures

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
A comprehensive numerical study of three-dimensional surface instability patterns is presented. The formation of wrinkles is a consequence of deformation instability when a thin film, bonded to a compliant substrate, is subject to in-plane compressive ...

Stiffness, strength, anisotropy, and buckling of lattices derived from TPMS and Platonic and Archimedean solids

open access: yesMechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures
Lattice metamaterials have gained considerable attention due to their distinctive topological structures and multifunctional properties. In this work, the effect of topology, loading conditions, and relative density on the effective mechanical properties

Material‐Based Intelligence: Autonomous Adaptation and Embodied Computation in Physical Substrates

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This perspective formulates a unifying framework for Material‐Based Intelligence (MBI), defining the physical requirements for materials to achieve embodied action, active memory and embodied information processing through intrinsic nonequilibrium dynamics. The design of intelligent materials often draws parallels with the complex adaptive behaviors of

Modern analysis of axisymmetric shells with AQUINAS: A MATLAB finite element toolbox

open access: yesSoftwareX, 2023
AQUINAS is a specialised MATLAB finite element (FE) toolbox for the nonlinear analysis of axisymmetric thin-walled shell systems, conceived by the Authors to recover a research functionality once widely available but now largely lost in the age of ...

A Novel 3D Wiring Technique—ZOLUTION Zero Degree OverLap View Universal Three DimensIONal CTO Wiring

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a novel simple and easy‐to‐use 3D wiring technique for coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) named ZOLUTION—Zero OverLap View Universal Three dimensIONal wiring. ZOLUTION can be used for: (1) Distal cap puncture, (2) CTO body wiring, (3) Retrograde wiring, and (4) Reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde tracking (reverse CART)

Mode Interaction in Wide Plate with Closed Section Longitudinal Stiffeners Under Compression

open access: yesEngineering Transactions, 1987
Interaction of nearly simultaneous buckling modes in the presence of imperfections is studied. The investigation is concerned with an infinitely wide plate having thin-walled longitudinal stiffeners of trapezoid cross-section under uniform compression ...
