Abstract: The equilibrium equations and boundary conditions in terms of the second Piola–Kirchhoff membrane stress and moment are given in this note, which are necessary for the finite deformation analysis of shells.

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 anisotropic poroelastic constitutive model is reexamined in this article. The assumptions and conclusions of previous works, i.e., Thompson and Willis and Cheng, are compared and clarified. The micromechanics of ...

Abstract: Drilling a cylindrical borehole is the first and important step in oil mining. Borehole design and strength check are big problems of utmost importance. Biot introduced a poroelastic constitutive theory for porous rock ...

Abstract: Stretchability of the stretchable and flexible electronics involves the post-buckling behaviors of internal connectors that are designed into various shapes of curved beams. The linear displacement–curvature relation is ...

Abstract: Currently, specimenspecific micro finite element (خ¼FE) analysis based micro computed tomography (خ¼CT) images have become a major computational tool for the assessment of the mechanical properties of human trabecular bone. ...

Abstract: A tunable hemispherical imaging system with zoom capability was recently developed by exploiting heterogeneous integration of rigid silicon photodetectors on soft, elastomeric supports, in designs that can facilitate tunable ...
