Abstract: The predetection evolution of stress corrosion cracking has been examined as a necessary preliminary to effective detection of such cracks. Anodic dissolution (AD) and hydrogen embrittlement (HE) have been considered to ...

Abstract: Applied Mechanics Reviews (AMR) is an international review journal that serves as a premier venue for stateoftheart and retrospective survey articles and reviews of research areas and curricular developments across all ...

Abstract: Mechanically guided three-dimensional (3D) assembly based on the controlled buckling of pre-designed 2D thin-film precursors provides deterministic routes to complex 3D mesostructures in diverse functional materials, with ...

Abstract: The multilayer beam consisted of materials with extremely different elastic properties, such as silicon and Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), has many important applications. The Kirchhoff assumption that the straight lines ...

Abstract: Curvature is simply expressed as the second derivative of the plate deflection in prior studies of postbuckling of plates. It is shown in this paper that the higherorder terms in curvature should be retained, consistent ...

Abstract: The existing regular hexagonal cellular substrate for stretchable electronics minimizes the disruptions to the natural diffusive or convective flow of bio-fluids. Its anisotropy is insignificant, which is not ideal for ...

Abstract: The use of cellular elastomer substrates not only reduces its restriction on natural diffusion or convection of biofluids in the realm of stretchable electronics but also enhances the stretchability of the electronic ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) serpentine mesostructures assembled by mechanics-guided, deterministic 3D assembly have potential applications in energy harvesting, mechanical sensing, and soft robotics. One limitation is that the ...

Abstract: Stretchable electronics offer soft, biocompatible mechanical properties; these same properties make them susceptible to device failure associated with physical impact. This paper studies designs for stretchable electronics ...

Abstract: A mechanics model is developed for the encapsulated piezoelectric thinfilm actuators/sensors system imperfectly bonded to the human skin to simultaneously determine the Young's moduli of the epidermis and dermis as well ...
