On the asymptotic reduction of a bifurcation equation for edge-buckling instabilities

open access: yes, 2018
Weakly clamped uniformly stretched thin elastic plates can experience edge buckling when subjected to a transverse pressure. This situation is revisited here for a circular plate, under the assumption of finite rotations and negligible bending stiffness ...

Symplectic method for the influence of surface effect on thermal buckling of graded porous nanobeams

open access: yesXibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao
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 ...

A Superlubricated Magnetically Steerable Microcatheter with Integrated Optical and Fluidic Channels

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
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 ...

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 ...

Pressure-driven wrinkling of soft inner-lined tubes

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2022
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.

Helical buckling of a whirling conducting rod in a uniform magnetic field

open access: yes, 2012
We study the effect of a magnetic field on the behaviour of a conducting elastic rod subject to a novel set of boundary conditions that, in the case of a transversely isotropic rod, give rise to exact helical post-buckling solutions.

Buckling and strength analysis of panels with discrete stiffness tailoring [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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 ...

From Origami to Bistable and Laminate Structures: A Review for Multifunctional Applications from Structural Perspective of Shape‐Changing Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores how shape‐changing structures—origami, bistable, and laminate structures—enable multifunctionality in soft robotics and metamaterials. Starting from structural design, it examines core principles, real‐world applications, and ongoing challenges.

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 ...
