Scaling Effect of Dry Adhesion for Microfibrils and Transition Size to Flaw Insensitivity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanics of detachment (e.g., a cylindrical fibril separating from a dissimilar substrate) has been treated in the perspectives of contact mechanics and fracture mechanics theory along with numerical simulations, but ...
Biomechanical Evaluation of an Adaptive-Motion Pedicle Screw Fixation System: Experimental and Numerical Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigid fixation is mostly used in thoracolumbar spine surgery, which restricts the thoracolumbar spine segments moving and is not conducive to postoperative rehabilitation. We developed an adaptive-motion pedicle screw and ...
Structure Optimization and Performance Evaluation of Downhole Oil–Water Separation Tools: A Novel Hydrocyclone
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Based on the principle of cyclone separation and 3D printing technology, a novel variable pitch hydrocyclone structure was proposed for the axial flow hydrocyclone separators of oil wells. The structural parameters of this ...
A Design Strategy for Mushroom-Shaped Microfibrils With Optimized Dry Adhesion: Experiments and Finite Element Analyses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Enhanced dry adhesion of micropatterned polymeric surfaces has been frequently demonstrated. Among the design parameters, the cap geometry plays an important role to improve their performance. In this study, we combined ...
