Abstract: In order to provide continuous diagnostic and therapeutic options that exploit electrophysiological signals from the epidermis, this study discusses epidermal electronics systems (EES) that conform to the skin surface via ...

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: A modified Fourier–Ritz approach is developed in this study to analyze the free in-plane vibration of orthotropic annular sector plates with general boundary conditions. In this approach, two auxiliary sine functions are ...

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 ...
