Abstract: It has been experimentally observed that wrinkles formed on the surface of electrospun polymer nanofibers when they are under uniaxial tension (Appl. Phys. Lett., 91, p. 151901 (2007)). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, ...

Abstract: Recent experiments and molecular dynamics simulations have proven that polymer chains are less confined in layers near the free surfaces of submicronnanosized pores. A recent model has incorporated this observed variable ...

Abstract: In this paper, a contact model is proposed to predict the contact response of an incompressible neo-Hookean half-space under finite spherical indentations. The axisymmetric finite element (FE) model is created to simulate ...
