Material Selection and Geometric Design for Few‐filament Shape Memory Polymer Yarns for Force Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A custom shape memory polymer material selection process relates quantitative application criteria (e.g., compression garment yarns) to material characterization information. The selected materials are manufactured into yarn geometries, which expand the design space by creating structural stress‐strain profiles beyond the nominal material stress‐strain

On the Friction of Carbon Black- and Silica-Reinforced BR and S-SBR Elastomers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Friction of carbon black- and silica-reinforced elastomers is studied experimentally and theoretically, using Persson’s model. The effect of reinforcement fillers on elasticity was determined by dynamical mechanical analysis.

Experimental validation of elliptical contact tire model with friction coefficient deduced from viscoelasticity of tread rubber

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal
This study proposes a mechanical tire model with deduced friction coefficient based on multiscale friction theory. In the proposed model, the contact shape and contact pressure distribution are calculated based on the elliptical contact tire model.

Low-speed impact craters in loose granular media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We report on craters formed by balls dropped into dry, non-cohesive, granular media. By explicit variation of ball density $\rho_{b}$, diameter $D_{b}$, and drop height $H$, the crater diameter is confirmed to scale as the 1/4 power of the energy of the ...
