Abstract: In the present work, by considering the inhomogeneity, solid skeleton viscosity, and compressibility of solid particles and fluid, the calculation formulations of reverberation ray matrix method (RRMM) is established for ...

Abstract: Wrinkling of thin films resting on compliant substrates has emerged as a facile means to create wellordered surface patterns. In this paper, both theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are presented to study the ...

Abstract: Determining the mechanical properties of soft matter across different length scales is of great importance in understanding the deformation behavior of compliant materials under various stimuli. A pipette aspiration test ...

Abstract: Indentation has been widely used to characterize the mechanical properties of biopolymers. Besides Hertzian solution, Sneddon's solution is frequently adopted to interpret the indentation data to deduce the elastic properties ...

Abstract: An efficient numerical method is developed to analyze the mechanical responses of tensegrity structures subjected to various actuations that lead to large and highly nonlinear (e.g., hardening or softening) deformations. ...

Abstract: Chiral structures have many technologically significant applications in engineering. In this paper, we investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the structural transformation from a symmetric Xshaped tensegrity ...

Abstract: Understanding the buckling and post-buckling behavior of rods confined in a finite space is of both scientific and engineering significance. Under uniaxial compression, an initially straight and slender rod confined in a ...

Abstract: To investigate the dynamic response and fire performance of steel beams under high temperature, drop hammer impact tests and numerical simulations were conducted on steel beams subjected to high temperatures. Three finite ...
