Vibrissa mechanical properties

Scholarpedia, 2015
The vibrissal (whisker) array of the rodent has been an important model for the study of active touch and tactile perception for over a century (Richardson 1909; Vincent 1912). During exploratory behaviors many rodents brush and tap their whiskers against surfaces to tactually extract object features, similar in some ways to how humans use their ...

Calcification in free-living coralline algae is strongly influenced by morphology: Implications for susceptibility to ocean acidification

Scientific Reports, 2021
Rhodolith beds built by free-living coralline algae are important ecosystems for marine biodiversity and carbonate production. Yet, our mechanistic understanding regarding rhodolith physiology and its drivers is still limited.

Mechanical properties of branched actin filaments

, 2015
Cells moving on a two dimensional substrate generate motion by polymerizing actin filament networks inside a flat membrane protrusion. New filaments are generated by branching off existing ones, giving rise to branched network structures.

Tribo-Mechanical Behavior of Films and Modified Layers Produced by Cathodic Cage and Glow Discharge Plasma Nitriding Techniques

Metals, 2023
Two surface modification techniques, the glow discharge plasma nitriding (GDPN) and the cathodic cage plasma nitriding (CCPN), were compared regarding the mechanical and tribological behavior of layers produced on AISI 316 stainless-steel surfaces.

Studies on mechanical behavior of glass epoxy composites with induced defects and correlations with NDT characterization parameters [PDF]

, 2007
Degradation in mechanical properties (compression, flexural and ILS) of glass epoxy composite laminates with induced defects (simulating delaminations) was studied. The defects were characterized by using the A-scan ultrasonic pulse-echo technique.
