Contact forces distribution for a granular material from a Monte Carlo study on a single grain

open access: yes, 2017
The force network ensemble is one of the most promising statistical descriptions of granular media, with an entropy accounting for all force configurations at mechanical equilibrium consistent with some external stress.

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.

Simulation-based analysis of noise reduction and tribological enhancements in slip-modified journal bearings

open access: yesResults in Engineering
Recently, attempts to better ameliorate the tribological performance of journal bearings have been focused on promoting the slip boundary on the contacting surfaces. Unfortunately, no research into the slip effect on bearing noise has been done yet. This

Active tension and membrane friction mediate cortical flows and blebbing in a model actomyosin cortex

open access: yesPhysical Review Research
Blebs, spherical membrane bulges of the cell membrane, are ubiquitous structures observed in various biological phenomena, including apoptosis, cell division, to bleb-based cell migration. The mechanics of blebbing have been characterized in terms of the

Sustainable Catalyst‐Free PLG Networks: Recyclability, Biodegradability, and Functional Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A catalyst‐additive free covalent adaptable network is developed from star‐shaped poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) cross‐linked with pyromellitic dianhydride, enabling internal carboxylic acid‐driven transesterification. The resulting biodegradable network exhibits mechanical robustness (Young's modulus ≈1.6 GPa), complete recyclability, rapid biodegradation

Numerical Investigation on Stress Intensity Factor and J Integral in Friction Stir Welded Joint through XFEM method

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2018
In fracture mechanics (domain of cracked environments), it is concerned to forecast the behavior of the structures until their ruin. Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a new process for solid-state joining, it can weld high strength aluminum alloys from ...

Crack-Like Processes Governing the Onset of Frictional Slip

open access: yes, 2006
We perform real-time measurements of the net contact area between two blocks of like material at the onset of frictional slip. We show that the process of interface detachment, which immediately precedes the inception of frictional sliding, is governed ...
