RISAdhesion of a Rigid Sphere to a Freestanding Elastic Membrane With Pre-Tension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Adhesion between a solid sphere and a thin film is a common but crucial issue in the study of biological membranes and two-dimensional materials. To supplement quantitative knowledge of membrane adhesion, this work addresses ...
General Relations of Indentations on Solids With Surface Tension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The conventional contact mechanics does not account for surface tension; however, it is important for micro- or nanosized contacts. In the present paper, the influences of surface tension on the indentations of an elastic ...
What a Wave Buoy Actually Measures in 3D: Analysis of a Mild Sea State
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Measurements of surface waves from oceanographic buoys have been regarded as the “ground truth” for validation of sea-state prediction models, providing the basis for input to the design of offshore structures. The engineering ...
The Effects of Surface Tension on Spherical Oscillatory Indentation of Viscoelastic Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The oscillatory indentation has become an attractive approach to characterizing the viscoelastic properties of soft biological solids. However, the influences of surface tension on oscillatory responses are ignored, which ...
Kinetostatic Modeling of Continuum Delta Robot With Variable Curvature Continuum Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Continuum robots have attracted lots of attention due to their structural compliance, manipulation dexterity, and design compactness. To extend the application scenarios, a slender continuum robot, the CurviPicker, was ...
