Abstract: Open nanomesh structures with nano/micro-scale geometric dimensions are important candidates for transparent, soft, and stretchable microelectrodes. This study developed analytical and numerical mechanics models for three ...

Abstract: In a bilayer structure consisting of a stiff film bonded to a soft substrate, the stress in the film is much larger when the rigidity of the film is much higher than that of the substrate so that film cracking is a common ...

Abstract: Mechanics of tympanic membrane (TM) is crucial for investigating the acoustic transmission through the ear. In this study, we studied the wrinkling behavior of tympanic membrane when it is exposed to mismatched air pressure ...
