Molecular structural mechanics model for the mechanical properties of microtubules

Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, 2014
The aim of this paper was to develop a structural mechanics (SM) model for the microtubules (MTs) in cells. The technique enables one to study the configuration effect on the mechanical properties of MTs and enjoys greatly improved computational efficiency as compared with molecular dynamics simulations.

Structural and Mechanical Properties of Mandibular Condylar Bone

Journal of Dental Research, 2006
The trabecular bone of the mandibular condyle is structurally anisotropic and heterogeneous. We hypothesized that its apparent elastic moduli are also anisotropic and heterogeneous, and depend on trabecular density and orientation. Eleven condyles were scanned with a micro-CT system.

Structure and Mechanical Properties of Hydroxypropylated Starch Films

Biomacromolecules, 2007
Films of acid-hydrolyzed hydroxypropylated pea starch with average molecular weight M w ranging from 3.3 x 10 (4) g/mol to 1.6 x 10 (6) g/mol were prepared from 25% (w/w) solution by casting. The structure of the films was investigated by means X-ray diffraction and calorimetry, evidencing a B-type crystalline structure.

Structure characteristics and mechanical properties of kaolinite soils. II. Effects of structure on mechanical properties

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2006
This paper reports the effects of structure on the mechanical responses of kaolinite with known and controlled fabric associations. The dynamic properties and strength were assessed by resonant column tests and undrained triaxial compression tests, respectively.

Mechanical Properties of Structural Cables

Journal of the Structural Division, 1971
Structural cables have been used as a building component since 685 B.C. but only recently have excited engineers to the application of cables to building and bridge designs. The advantage of structural cables as an economical tension member for bridges and buildings has prompted new design concepts of cable-stayed bridges and cable-supported roof ...

Structure and mechanical properties of polysaccharides

Macromolecular Symposia, 1998
AbstractThis article serves both as a review of polysaccharides as gelling and thickening agents and as an introduction to polysaccharides, other than starch and cellulose, their source and extraction, and how molecular detail is reflected in their macromolecular and supramolecular properties.

Mechanical Properties and the Structure of Hair

Textile Research Journal, 1950
A simple quantitative method for determining the amount of mechanical strength contributed by the various types of bonds in hair fiber has been developed. The effects of various types of reagents, such as acids, bases, oxidizing agents, and reducing agents, are discussed.

The Structure and Mechanical Properties of Polypyrrole

Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 1985
Abstract The evidence for the presence of the pyrrole moiety in electro-chemically prepared polypyrrole is reviewed together with structural and IR data obtained for the crystalline dimer and trimer of pyrrole. The modification of the mechanical properties of polypyrrole by formation of graft copolymers with polystyrene, by polymerization of the ...

Structure and mechanical properties of Silumin

Metal Science and Heat Treatment, 1976
1. The reason for the low plasticity, and in some cases the hardness, of Silumins is the brittleness of silicon particles of lamellar form. These platelets break by splitting even with small plastic deformation of the α matrix. Because of the substantial volume of these silicon particles in the structure of the alloy they have a large effect on ...
