Abstract: Due to the oscillatory singular stress field around a crack tip, interface fracture has some peculiar features. This paper is focused on two of them. One can be reflected by a proposed paradox that geometrically similar ...

Abstract: The real-time characterization of thin film properties can provide insights into the behavior of film material during process such as phase-transition, hydration, and chemical reaction. The shift of reasonant frequency in ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) serpentine mesostructures assembled by mechanics-guided, deterministic 3D assembly have potential applications in energy harvesting, mechanical sensing, and soft robotics. One limitation is that the ...

Abstract: Vibrational microplatforms that exploit complex three-dimensional (3D) architectures assembled via the controlled compressive buckling technique represent promising candidates in 3D micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), ...
