A Micromechanically Based Anisotropic Constitutive Model for the Microtubule Wall
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Microtubules serve as one of the structural components of the cell and govern several important cellular functions including mitosis and vesicular transport. Microtubules are comprised of tubulin ...
A Finite Element Based Die Design Algorithm for Sheet-Metal Forming on Reconfigurable Tools
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tooling cost is a major contributor to the total cost of small-lot production of sheet metal components. Within the framework of an academic/industrial/government partnership devoted to the ...
Mechanics of Indentation into Micro- and Nanoscale Forests of Tubes, Rods, or Pillars
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The force-depth behavior of indentation into fibrillar-structured surfaces such as those consisting of forests of micro- or nanoscale tubes or rods is a depth-dependent behavior governed by ...
Mechanics of Biomacromolecular Networks Containing Folded Domains
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The force-extension behavior of single modular biomacromolecules is known to exhibit a characteristic repeating pattern of a nonlinear rise in force with imposed displacement to a peak, followed ...
