A Preliminary Two-Dimensional Palpation Mechanics for Detecting a Hard Inclusion by Indentation of a Soft Matrix Under Large Strain
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A rigid inclusion is embedded at a finite depth in a soft layer resting on a rigid substrate. A spherical indenter presses vertically onto the surface, deforming the matrix and displacing the inclusion. A subsurface inclusion ...
Directional Motion of a Graphene Sheet on Graded MoS2–WSe2 Lateral Heterostructures
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Directional motion is one of the most fundamental motions in the nature, which is driven by specific types of gradients. The transition metal dichalcogenides graded lateral heterostructure is a valuable semiconductor playing ...
Study on the Core Groups of First Integrals and Folding Index for Mechanical Systems
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In applying the Udwadia–Kalaba equation for constrained mechanical systems, a direct proof of the equivalence of first integrals and nonholonomic constraints is given, and it is demonstrated that the generalized force of ...
Effect of Standoff on Near-Field Blast Mitigation Provided by Water-Filled Containers
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Water-filled containers placed externally on an armored vehicle offer a potentially low cost, light-weight, and simple technique to mitigate near-field explosive blast, although the use of a gap or standoff between the ...
A Conforming Augmented Finite Element Method for Modeling Arbitrary Cracking in Solids
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a conforming augmented finite element method (C-AFEM) that can account for arbitrary cracking in solids with similar accuracy of other conforming methods, but with a significantly improved numerical ...
Second-Order Contact Kinematics Between Three-Dimensional Rigid Bodies
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this discussion, we provide corrections to the second-order kinematic equations describing contact between three-dimensional rigid bodies, originally published in Sarkar et al. (1996) [“Velocity and Acceleration Analysis ...
Controllable Propagation of Bending Waves in Wrinkled Films
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wrinkling is a common phenomenon in natural and engineering film structures. The wrinkles influence the geometry and dynamic response of these structures. In this work, we investigate the wrinkling of a stretched thin film ...
Size-Dependent Mechanics of the Adherens Junction Mediated by Cooperative trans and cis Bindings
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The adherens junction (AJ) plays an important role in many collective mechanobiological processes, such as gastrulation, embryonic morphogenesis, and tissue homeostasis. In this study, we construct a coarse-grained Monte ...
Normalized Coordinate Equations and an Energy Method for Predicting Natural Curved-Fold Configurations
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Of the many valid configurations that a curved fold may assume, it is of particular interest to identify natural—or lowest energy—configurations that physical models will preferentially assume. We present normalized ...
Adhesion Asymmetry in Peeling of Thin Films With Homogeneous Material Properties: A Geometry-Inspired Design Paradigm
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Peeling of thin films is a problem of great interest to scientists and engineers. Here, we study the peeling response of thin films with nonuniform thickness profile attached to a rigid substrate through a planar homogeneous ...
