Dynamic characterization of progressively damaged segmental masonry arches with one settled support: experimental and numerical analyses

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2020
This paper aims to explore the dynamic behavior of a segmental masonry arch subjected to increasing horizontal displacements of one support. To this end, output-only dynamic identification techniques are first used to track the evolution of the dynamic ...

Nonlinear flexure mechanics of beams: stress gradient and nonlocal integral theory

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2021
In order to study the intrinsic size-effects, the stress gradient theory is implemented to a nano-scale beam model in nonlinear flexure. The nonlocal integral elasticity model is considered as a suitable counterpart to examine the softening behavior of ...

Nonlinear elasticity of silica nanofiber

open access: yesAPL Photonics, 2019
Optical nanofibers (ONFs) represent versatile nanophotonic platforms for important photonic applications such as optical sensing and quantum and nonlinear optics. The attractiveness of ONFs arises from the tight optical confinement, their wide evanescent

Intrinsic Nonlinear Elasticity: An Exterior Calculus Formulation

open access: yesJournal of Nonlinear Science, 2023
AbstractIn this paper, we formulate the theory of nonlinear elasticity in a geometrically intrinsic manner using exterior calculus and bundle-valued differential forms. We represent kinematics variables, such as velocity and rate of strain, as intensive vector-valued forms, while kinetics variables, such as stress and momentum, as extensive covector ...

DeepGreen: deep learning of Green’s functions for nonlinear boundary value problems

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Boundary value problems (BVPs) play a central role in the mathematical analysis of constrained physical systems subjected to external forces. Consequently, BVPs frequently emerge in nearly every engineering discipline and span problem domains including ...

Nonlinear Cauchy Elasticity

open access: yesArchive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis
Abstract Most theories and applications of elasticity rely on an energy function that depends on the strains from which the stresses can be derived. This is the traditional setting of Green elasticity, also known as hyper-elasticity. However, in its original form the theory of elasticity does not assume the existence of a strain energy ...

On nonlinear thermo-electro-elasticity [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2016
Electro-active polymers (EAPs) for large actuations are nowadays well-known and promising candidates for producing sensors, actuators and generators. In general, polymeric materials are sensitive to differential temperature histories. During experimental characterizations of EAPs under electro-mechanically coupled loads, it is difficult to maintain ...

Recent Advances in Tissue-Engineered Cardiac Scaffolds—The Progress and Gap in Mimicking Native Myocardium Mechanical Behaviors

open access: yesJournal of Functional Biomaterials, 2023
Heart failure is the leading cause of death in the US and worldwide. Despite modern therapy, challenges remain to rescue the damaged organ that contains cells with a very low proliferation rate after birth.
