Variable Stiffness Flexure Structures Enabled by Phase‐Change Gallium and Adhesive Interfacial Locking for Soft Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A flexure‐based variable stiffness structure is developed by integrating phase‐change modulation and adhesive interfacial locking of gallium. The design enables a wide stiffness variability, transitioning from soft, flexible behavior to rigid, load‐supporting performance.

Damage and strain rate optical characterisation of standard and tufted non crimp fabric carbon composites for Meso-scale impact models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
As global warming is a prime concern to the wellbeing of the planet, lighter planes are a requirement to reduce CO2 emissions. Light structures made of carbon epoxy composite materials are of particular interest but are sensitive to impacts such as

Stiffness of L‐stubs loaded in compression

open access: yesce/papers, 2023
AbstractThe stiffness of T‐stubs in compression is generally assumed infinite except for column base plates. For bolted circular flange connections and double web angle connections, the stiffness of L‐stubs and T‐stubs in compression should be determined to accurately calculate the position of the center of compression.

Microstructural Evolution and Vacancy Defect Formation in Mn–Mo–Ni RPV Steel Under Low Cycle Fatigue: Insights From EBSD and PALS

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Low‐cycle fatigue damage in Mn–Mo–Ni reactor pressure vessel steel is examined using a combined electron backscatter diffraction and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy approach. The study correlates texture evolution, dislocation substructure development, and vacancy‐type defect formation across uniform, necked, and fracture regions, providing

A Numerical–Experimental Approach for Multi‐Matrix Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Characterization Using Finite Element Model Updating

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.

Cartilage Interstitial Fluid Load Support in Unconfined Compression [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Bioengineering, 2002
Under physiological conditions of loading, articular cartilage is subjected to both compressive strains, normal to the articular surface, and tensile strains, tangential to the articular surface. Previous studies have shown that articular cartilage exhibits a much higher modulus in tension than compression. Theoretical analyses have suggested that this
