Abstract: Origami provides both inspiration and potential solutions to the fabrication, assembly, and functionality of various structures and devices. Kinematic modeling of origami-based objects is essential to their analysis and ...

Abstract: A finite element analysis of quasistatic, steadystate crack growth in pseudoelastic shape memory alloys is carried out for plane strain, mode I loading. The crack is assumed to propagate at a critical level of the cracktip ...

Abstract: A finite element analysis of steadystate crack growth in pseudoelastic shape memory alloys under the assumption of adiabatic conditions is carried out for plane strain, mode I loading. The crack is assumed to propagate at ...
