Water-induced finger wrinkles do not affect touch acuity or dexterity in handling wet objects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Human non-hairy (glabrous) skin of the fingers, palms and soles wrinkles after prolonged exposure to water. Wrinkling is a sympathetic nervous system-dependent process but little is known about the physiology and potential functions of water-induced skin

Effective behavior of nematic elastomer membranes [PDF]
, 2015 We derive the effective energy density of thin membranes of liquid crystal elastomers as the Gamma-limit of a widely used bulk model. These membranes can display fine-scale features both due to wrinkling that one expects in thin elastic membranes and due

Local buckling evolution mechanism of a buried steel pipe under fault movements
Energy Science & Engineering, 2020 Pipe is the main transportation way for oil and natural gas. Fault movement mainly caused by earthquake, which will induce pipe bending, tension and compression. Then oil or gas leakage appear.

Facial wrinkling: A possible mirror of COPD severity.....
Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014 Background and objective: The objective of our study was to test the hypothesis that facial wrinkling is a reflection to the severity of COPD disease and whether there is an association between facial wrinkling score and the severity of COPD as assessed ...

Orthotropic rotation-free thin shell elements [PDF]
, 2015 A method to simulate orthotropic behaviour in thin shell finite elements is proposed. The approach is based on the transformation of shape function derivatives, resulting in a new orthogonal basis aligned to a specified preferred direction for all ...

Pressure-driven wrinkling of soft inner-lined tubes
New Journal of Physics, 2022 A simple equation modelling an inextensible elastic lining of an inner-lined tube subject to an imposed pressure difference is derived from a consideration of the idealised elastic properties of the lining and the pressure and soft-substrate forces.

Hydrogen Induced Etching Features of Wrinkled Graphene Domains
Nanomaterials, 2019 Wrinkles are observed commonly in CVD (chemical vapor deposition)-grown graphene on Cu and hydrogen etching is of significant interest to understand the growth details, as well as a practical tool for fabricating functional graphene nanostructures. Here,
