Abstract: The nonaxisymmetric transverse free vibrations of radially inhomogeneous circular Mindlin plates with variable thickness are governed by three coupled differential equations with variable coefficients, which are quite ...

Abstract: Serpentine interconnects, as an integral part of island-bridge layouts, enable extremely large reversible deformation under the action of mechanical loads and are thus widely used in the emerging new field of stretchable ...

Abstract: The performance of flexible/stretchable electronics may be significantly reduced by the interfacial delamination due to the large mismatch at the interface between stiff films and soft substrates. Based on the theory of ...

Abstract: A series of stress-controlled uniaxial cyclic tension-unloading tests are discussed to investigate the ratchetting of a filled rubber at room temperature. It is shown that obvious ratchetting occurs and depends apparently ...

Abstract: Inorganic stretchable electronics based on the island-bridge layout have attracted great attention in recent years due to their excellent electrical performance under the extreme condition of large deformations. During the ...
