Connectivity Constraints Ensuring Continuous Electrodes in Topology Optimization of Electroactive Polymer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electroactive polymers (EAPs) deform when subject to an electric field, which is generated by two or more electrodes. To ensure proper function of the EAP, these electrodes are connected to a source and they are therefore ...
Full Field Strain Measurement During Mechanical Testing of the Human Femur at Physiologically Relevant Strain Rates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Understanding the mechanical properties of human femora is of great importance for the development of a reliable fracture criterion aimed at assessing fracture risk. Earlier ex vivo studies have been conducted by measuring ...
