Wrinkling criteria in sheet metal forming for single sided contact situation and its application [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The general wrinkling theory based on the rate formulation of the principle of virtual work has been applied in a number of studies on wrinkling during sheet metal forming. No contact with the die was allowed.

The buckling instability of aggregating red blood cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Plasma proteins such as fibrinogen induce the aggregation of red blood cells (RBC) into rouleaux, which are responsible for the pronounced shear thinning behavior of blood, control the erythro- cyte sedimentation rate (ESR) a common hematological test ...

Mechanical Properties of Architected Polymer Lattice Materials: A Comparative Study of Additive Manufacturing and CAD Using FEM and µ‐CT

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 27, 2 April 2026.
This study examines how pore shape and manufacturing‐induced deviations affect the mechanical properties of 3D‐printed lattice materials with constant porosity. Combining µ‐CT analysis, FEM, and compression testing, the authors show that structural imperfections reduce stiffness and strength, while bulk material inhomogeneities probably enhance ...

Bioinspired 3D‐Printed NiTi Metamaterials With Bivalve‐Like Crossed‐Lamellar Structures

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Metamaterials demonstrate unique mechanical properties and functional performance owing to their distinctive topological spatial structures. In this study, by mimicking the natural Saxidomus purpuratus shell, bioinspired crossed‐lamellar architectures with interlamellar apex angles ranging from 60° to 150° were designed and fabricated in NiTi ...

Global instabilities of pyramidal trusses

open access: yesTrends in Computational and Applied Mathematics
This paper presents an exact analytical study of global instabilities in pyramidal trusses under large displacements. Using the stationarity of total potential energy and Green-Lagrange strain, non-linear equilibrium equations are derived for a 3-bar ...

Buckling Paradox And Anisotropic Plastic Plate Bifurcation [PDF]

open access: yesProgress in Canadian Mechanical Engineering, 2018
Anisotropic elastic/plastic plate bifurcation is investigated. The pre-bifurcation loading consists of biaxial stresses along ξν axes parallel to the sides of a simply supported rectangular plate: ννξξσασ=,11α−≤≤. The ξν axes are at an angle βwith the xy principal axes of anisotropy.

Morphoelastic rods Part 1: A single growing elastic rod [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A theory for the dynamics and statics of growing elastic rods is presented. First, a single growing rod is considered and the formalism of three-dimensional multiplicative decomposition of morphoelasticity is used to describe the bulk growth of Kirchhoff

Nonlinear morphoelastic plates II: exodus to buckled states [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Morphoelasticity is the theory of growing elastic materials. This theory is based on the multiple decomposition of the deformation gradient and provides a formulation of the deformation and stresses induced by growth.

Magneto‐X Effects in Magnetic Soft Materials and Their Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
This review systematically explores magnetic soft materials (MSMs), a novel class of composites that transform under magnetic fields. It catalogs fundamental “Magneto‐X” effects, classifies materials by their matrix and magnetic fillers, and highlights transformative applications in soft robotics, biomedical devices, flexible electronics, etc. Finally,
