Abstract: Composite plates have the advantages of high strength and light weight and are widely used in the field of aerospace engineering. Instability is their most common failure mode. Considerable research on the instability of ...

Abstract: Cardiomyocytes are viscoelastic and key determinants of right ventricle (RV) mechanics. Intracellularly, microtubules are found to impact the viscoelasticity of isolated cardiomyocytes or trabeculae; whether they contribute ...

Abstract: Large conduit arteries are not purely elastic, but viscoelastic, which affects not only the mechanical behavior but also the ventricular afterload. Different hysteresis loops such as pressurediameter, pressureluminal ...

Abstract: Solder voids are detrimental to the thermal, mechanical, and reliability performance of integrated circuit (IC) packages and must be controlled within certain specifications. A sequential method of optimizing solderreflow ...

Abstract: Ventricle dysfunction is the most common cause of heart failure, which leads to high mortality and morbidity. The mechanical behavior of the ventricle is critical to its physiological function. It is known that the ventricle ...

Abstract: The recombinant congenic mouse strains HcB8 and HcB23 differ in femoral shape, size, and strength, with HcB8 femora being more gracile, more cylindrical, weaker, and having higher Young's modulus. In previous work, we ...

Abstract: Right ventricular (RV) failure, which occurs in the setting of pressure overload, is characterized by abnormalities in mechanical and energetic function. The effects of these cell- and tissue-level changes on organ-level ...
