Mechanical behaviour of polymer–metal hybrid joints produced by clinching using different tools
In the present study, the mechanical behaviour of polymer–metal hybrid connections produced by clinching is investigated. Thin sheets were joined using different tools including grooved, split and flat dies as well as rectangular tools. The effect of the

Mechanical properties and microstructure of potato peels [PDF]
Potato peel, as the outermost tissue of the fruit, playing a role of protection and fresh keeping on the pulp tissue, is crucial for the design of potato harvesting machines. In this study, two types of potato ‘Yangyu 4’ and ‘Helan 14’ were selected to conduct friction, tensile and tear tests on their peel.

Numerical simulation of mechanical properties of epiretinal membrane peeling
An epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a fibrocellular proliferation on the inner surface of the retina causing blurred and distorted central vision. Surgery is the only effective method for ERM removal. This paper investigated the mechanical properties of ERM peeling using the finite element (FE) method.
