Mathematical models for nonlocal elastic composite materials

open access: yesAdvances in Nonlinear Analysis, 2017
In this paper we derive and solve nonlocal elasticity a model describing the elastic behavior of composite materials, involving the fractional Laplacian operator.

Hydraulic Abrasion-Resistant Elastic Epoxy Resin Materials

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
The abrasion of hydraulic concrete structures caused by the washing action of flowing water is a common problem and cannot be solved by simply increasing the strength of the concrete.

Entropy change-induced elastic softening of lithiated materials

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2015
To understand the “elastic softening” of Li–Si alloys for the development of Li-ion batteries, the effect of stress-induced change of entropy on the mechanical properties of lithiated materials is examined within the theories of thermodynamics and linear

Elastic Interactions of Cells

open access: yes, 2002
Biological cells in soft materials can be modeled as anisotropic force contraction dipoles. The corresponding elastic interaction potentials are long-ranged ($\sim 1/r^3$ with distance $r$) and depend sensitively on elastic constants, geometry and ...

Discrete dislocation simulations and size dependent hardening in single slip [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Plastic deformation in two-dimensional monophase and composite materials is studied using a discrete dislocation dynamics method. In this method, dislocations are represented by line defects in a linear elastic medium, and their interactions with ...

A Review of the Application of Compliance Phenomenon in Particle Separation Within Microfluidic Systems

open access: yesMicromachines
Microfluidic chips made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) have shown significant application potential in aquatic environments with high microbial density, such as “marine ranches”, due to their high-throughput, high-efficiency and high-precision detection ...

Elastic Energy, Fluctuations and Temperature for Granular Materials

open access: yes, 2003
We probe, using a model system, elastic and kinetic energies for sheared granular materials. For large enough $P/E_y$ (pressure/Young's modulus) and $P/\rho v^2$ ($P/$kinetic energy density) elastic dominates kinetic energy, and energy fluctuations ...

Enhanced boxing punch impact with silicone cushioning

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living
IntroductionElastic cushioning materials protect human tissue from injury by absorbing impact energy and delaying its transfer. However, the potential compromise in force delivery to the hitting target remains unknown.MethodsTo examine if silicone ...
