Crystals are known far and wide for their beauty and elegance. But even though they may appear perfect on the outside, their ...

This work shows that multi-DOF metamaterials are limited by their energy-driven deformation, restricting their mechanical ...

It actually happens with deformation. “The deformation-induced texture forms when crystals undergo plastic deformation, causing their orientations to align in specific directions.

Biological systems often exhibit strain stiffening to prevent deformation and softening to avoid catastrophic failure. Associative polymer networks are inspired by the dynamic nature of biomaterials ...

The thermodynamic principles of classical continuum mechanics are assumed to hold for micro deformation of the microconstituents leading to ‘integral-average’ definitions for macro deformation that ...

A model membrane contact system consisting of an acrylic copolymer membrane and a PDMS substrate was utilized to evaluate a recently developed nonlinear large-deformation adhesive contact analysis.

Cratons are believed to be the longest-lived regions of the Earth, but a new study shows how dynamic processes can cause their eventual disintegration.

It is a practical and efficient method to research the mechanism of pipe deformation under external pressure by means of pipe collapse-experiments. This article descripts pipe deformation experimental ...

We developed an analytic framework to quantify nonlinear wall mechanics in terms of stiffness, deformation, and energy dissipation, finding that the wall stretches by combined elastic and plastic ...

In this paper, we aim at obtaining the deformation law and the mechanics characteristic of the supporting structure of ∞-Shaped super deep foundation pit, including the deformation law and the plastic ...

A team has uncovered surprising mechanical behaviors of the nucleus. For years, the nucleus within a cell was thought to be elastic like a rubber ball, deforming and snapping back into shape as the ...
