Dynamic and Static Flexural Rigidity of Fabric.
The relationship between the dynamic and static flexural rigidities of fabrics was discussed. The dynamic rigidity was measured by a vibrating-reed method, and the static one by a KES pure bending test. The static flexural rigidity was found to be several times as large as the dynamic one.

A Compact 2-DOF Piezoelectric-Driven Platform Based on “Z-Shaped” Flexure Hinges
A compact 2-DOF (two degrees of freedom) piezoelectric-driven platform for 3D cellular bio-assembly systems has been proposed based on “Z-shaped” flexure hinges. Multiple linear motions with high resolution both in x and y directions are achieved. The “Z-

Quasi-static stop band with flexural metamaterial having zero rotational stiffness [PDF]
AbstractMetamaterials realizing stop bands have attracted much attentions recently since they can break-through the well-known mass law. However, achieving the stop band at extremely low frequency has been still a big challenge in the fields of elastic metamaterials.

Static and Motional Feedthrough Capacitance of Flexural Microresonator [PDF]
The present paper evaluates the static and motional feedthrough capacitance of a silicon carbide-based flexural-mode microelectromechanical system resonator. The static feedthrough capacitance was measured by a network analyzer under atmospheric pressure.

Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Short Columns Subjected to Freeze–Thaw Cycles
Previous research shows that freeze−thaw cycles represent one of the most dangerous threats to reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, there is almost no experimental data on the effects of freeze−thaw cycles on the seismic behavior of ...

Differentiation and Distribution of Marrow Stem Cells in Flex-Flow Environments Demonstrate Support of the Valvular Phenotype. [PDF]
For treatment of critical heart valve diseases, prosthetic valves perform fairly well in most adults; however, for pediatric patients, there is the added requirement that the replacement valve grows with the child, thus extremely limiting current ...
