Abstract: We investigate the mechanics of the detachment of an inclined micro-pillar adhered to a dissimilar substrate when subjected to a combination of an axial load and end moment. When the micro-pillar has adhered to the substrate, ...

Abstract: A common method of generating a tensile wave in Split-Hopkinson bar experiments is to impact a hollow striker on an anvil/collar attached to the incident bar. When the anvil/collar is attached to the incident bar using ...

Abstract: The idealized inverse-opal lattice is a network of slender struts that has cubic symmetry. We analytically investigate the elastoplastic properties of the idealized inverse-opal lattice. The analysis reveals that the ...

Abstract: We investigate the normal impact of a rigid sphere on a half-space of elasto-plastic auxetic/metal foam using the finite element method. The dependence of the coefficient of restitution, peak force, maximum displacement, ...
