Effect of High-Temperature Heat Treatment on the Acoustic-Vibration Performance of Picea jezoensis

open access: yesBioResources, 2016
The crystallinity and acoustic-vibration parameters of Picea jezoensis, including specific Young’s modulus (E/ρ),coefficient of sound-radiation resistance (R), sound resistance (ω), and the ratio of Young’s modulus to the dynamic stiffness modulus (E/G),

Crumpling wires in two dimensions

open access: yes, 2008
An energy-minimal simulation is proposed to study the patterns and mechanical properties of elastically crumpled wires in two dimensions. We varied the bending rigidity and stretching modulus to measure the energy allocation, size-mass exponent, and the ...

Influence of structural flexibility on the nonlinear stiffness of hydraulic system

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2016
Hydraulic system has been widely used in many mechatronic systems. Accurate identification of the hydraulic stiffness is critical to the design and control of such kind of system.

Hypercholesterolemia increases supraspinatus tendon stiffness and elastic modulus across multiple species [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2013
More than one-quarter of Americans have hypercholesterolemia and/or are being treated with cholesterol-lowering medications. Given the systemic nature of hypercholesterolemia and remaining questions regarding its effect on tendons at a local level, we sought to assess the utility of small versus large animal model systems for translational studies by ...

Consideration of the restriction of lateral contraction in the elastic behaviour of cohesive zone models

open access: yes, 2015
Cohesive zone models do not consider the lateral contraction of adhesive layers under tensile loads. The constraint of the lateral contraction by the adherents which depends on the geometry of the adhesive layer has a major influence on the normal ...

Regional variation in the flexural properties of the equine hoof wall [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The equine hoof wall is a hard, keratinous structure that transmits forces generated when the hoof connects the ground to the skeleton of the horse. During locomotion the hoof capsule is known to deform, resulting in an inward curvature of the dorsal ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
