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

Secondary bifurcations in the buckling problem

open access: yesJournal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 1989
This paper considers the calculation of secondary bifurcations by purely numerical methods. A model problem of one nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation in two independent variables is treated. By means of continuation and local perturbation methods secondary branch solutions can be detected.

On the Damage Tolerance of Diffusion Bonded Titanium–Aluminum Phase Biomimetic Composites

open access: yesRare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The biomimetic design principles of natural structures involve the strategic integration of stiff and compliant phases to synergistically enhance strength and toughness. Its evolutionary refined natural armor, characterized by a specialized microarchitecture, enables superior damage tolerance.

Design and Control of a Dual‐Coil Magnetic Guidewire for Smooth and Adaptive Curvature Steering in Vascular Intervention

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Magnetic guidewires enable remote navigation in tortuous vasculature but often suffer from limited controllability, inefficient force transmission, and safety risks at bifurcations. This work presents a dual‐coil magnetic guidewire actuated by an external permanent magnet, enabling two steering modes with smooth curvature control and improved axial ...
