Bifurcations and chaos of a vibration isolation system with magneto-rheological damper
AIP Advances, 2016 Magneto-rheological (MR) damper possesses inherent hysteretic characteristics. We investigate the resulting nonlinear behaviors of a two degree-of-freedom (2-DoF) MR vibration isolation system under harmonic external excitation. A MR damper is identified

On the instabilities in a switchable stiffness system for vibration control
, 2016 A strategy for vibration control in which the stiffness is switched on and off between a minimum and a maximum value within each oscillation cycle is considered in this study. The strategy has been shown to help greatly in decreasing residual vibrations,

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.
