The Stiff Side of Cancer: How Matrix Mechanics Rewrites Non-Coding RNA Expression Programs
Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffening is a defining biophysical feature of solid tumors that reshape gene regulation through mechanotransduction. Increased collagen crosslinking and stromal remodeling enhance integrin engagement, focal-adhesion signaling

Comparison of several closure approximations for evaluating the thermoelastic properties of an injection molded short-fiber composite [PDF]
The accurate prediction of both the elastic properties and the thermal expansion coefficients is very important for the precise simulation of such processes as injection molding of short-fiber polymer-matrix composites.

Soft Mechanical‐Electrical Logic Using Liquid Metal‐Filled 3D‐Printed Architectures
We present 3D‐printed soft mechanical–electrical logic elements that use liquid metal–filled silicone tubes actuated by thermoplastic polyurethane/polylactic acid (TPU/PLA) architectures to produce Boolean operations. Complementary normally open and normally closed unit cells perform repeatable binary transitions and can be combined into more complex ...

Application of finite element methods to the post-buckling behaviour of thin plates containing imperfections [PDF]
A finite element program, applicable to the pre- and post-buckling behaviour of plates with imperfections, is developed. Suitable incremental stiffness matrices are generated for a plate element with four nodes and twenty degrees of freedom ...

41 - Computation of Element Stiffness Matrix
A simple example of a frame model is presented to shows how to examine the computational details of the element stiffness matrix, using the educational function. The items of computation include the element stiffness matrix and force vector, respectively

Matrix stiffness regulates osteoclast fate through integrin-dependent mechanotransduction
Osteoclasts ubiquitously participate in bone homeostasis, and their aberration leads to bone diseases, such as osteoporosis. Current clinical strategies by biochemical signaling molecules often perturb innate bone metabolism owing to the uncontrolled ...

In most finite element (FE) studies of vertebral bodies, axial compression is the loading mode of choice to investigate structural properties, but this might not adequately reflect the various loads to which the spine is subjected during daily activities

In Situ Micromechanical Study of Bimodal γ′–γ″ Precipitate Assemblies in Ni–Cr–Al–Nb Superalloy
A Ni–Cr–Al–Nb superalloy with a bimodal γ′–γ″ precipitate distribution is developed. Composite precipitate assemblies form through heterogeneous nucleation, effectively impeding dislocation motion. Micropillar compression reveals high strength at room and elevated temperatures, governed by precipitate shearing, with coupled faulting mechanisms ...
