Water-induced finger wrinkles do not affect touch acuity or dexterity in handling wet objects. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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

Residual Stresses in Thermoplastic Composites: A Review [PDF]

open access: yesعلوم و تکنولوژی پلیمر, 2008
Applications of thermoplastic composites have developed extensively. The thermoplastic composites in comparison with the thermoset composites have many advantages. Thermoplastic composites can be melted and remolded many times.

Local buckling evolution mechanism of a buried steel pipe under fault movements

open access: yesEnergy 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.....

open access: yesEgyptian 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 ...

Analysis and Control of Cracking and Wrinkling at the End of Seamless Steel Tube with Multi-Pass Large Deformation Diameter-Reducing

open access: yesMetals, 2021
Axial cracking and circumferential wrinkling are found at the end of seamless steel tubes during multi-pass large deformations pushing diameter-reducing (PDR), which seriously affects product quality.

Pressure-driven wrinkling of soft inner-lined tubes

open access: yesNew 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

open access: yesNanomaterials, 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,

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation into Generation of Wrinkling and Slip in Plastic-Films under Transportation

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2010
In the transport processes of plastic-films, wrinkling is sometimes generated due to misalignment of roller. To avoid the wrinkling, it is effective to reduce the web tension. However, under the low web tension, the traction inevitably falls as transport
