Abstract: This paper presents a simple proof of an initially counterintuitive result that the interparticle effective forces in a particulate aggregate can be meaningfully represented using an infinite number of uniaxial stress ...

Abstract: The mathematical structure of a constitutive model might be defined as the collection of variables that it contains and the symmetries, relationships, dependencies, and independencies that are involved. Finding a structure ...

Abstract: This study details the fabrication and measurements of a water-filled 5 mm wide by 10 mm long silicon microheat pipe (MHP) array consisting of 22–100 μm square channels. This study is unique ...

Abstract: Mechanical deformation of cell-seeded electrospun matrices plays an important role in cell signaling. However, electrospun biomaterials have inherently complex geometries due to the random deposition ...
