Motion Driven by Strain Gradient Fields. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 AbstractA new driving mechanism for direction-controlled motion of nano-scale objects is proposed, based on a model of stretching a graphene strip linked to a rigid base with linear springs of identical stiffness. We find that the potential energy difference induced by the strain gradient field in the graphene strip substrate can generate sufficient ...

On the strain gradient bending deformations [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2013 Bending deformations are reviewed in the context of strain gradient linear elasticity, considering the complete set of strain gradient components. It is well understood that conventional bending deformations depend on the collective uniaxial extension of

Extraordinary strain hardening by gradient structure [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Nature creates the gradient structure (GS) for a purpose: to make biological systems strong and tough to survive severe natural forces. For the grain-size GS, the deformation physics is still unclear. One wonders if the grain-size GS in the nanomicroscale would also benefit materials engineered by mankind.

Constitutive Model of Thin Metal Sheet in Bulging Test Considering Strain Gradient Hardening
Medžiagotyra, 2020 The study of the size effect was one of the most important subjects in the field of micro-forming. To investigate the stress of the thin sheet in the bulging test with the second order size effect, a constitutive equation considering the strain gradient ...

Cellular Orientation Is Guided by Strain Gradients [PDF]
Integrative Biology, 2016 The strain-induced reorientation response of cyclically stretched cells has been well characterized in uniform strain fields. In the present study, we comprehensively analyse the behaviour of human fibroblasts subjected to a highly non-uniform strain field within a polymethylsiloxane microdevice.

Possibilities of the practical use of a stationary strain gradient in the interelectrode volume of unpolarized ferroceramic plates [PDF]
Journal of Advanced Dielectrics, 2020 It has been established that in plates made of hot-pressed ferroelectric ceramics PZT-19 (Tc=300∘C), after metal electrodes from Ag are burned into opposite surfaces with different depths of mechanical damage, counter-directional stationary deformation ...

Switching a Polar Metal via Strain Gradients [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 Although rare, spontaneous breakdown of inversion symmetry sometimes occurs in a material which is metallic: these are commonly known as polar metals or ferroelectric metals. Their 'polarization', however, cannot be switched via an electric field, which limits the experimental control over band topology.
