3D printed large amplitude torsional microactuators powered by ultrasound

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Mehdi Ali Gadiri, Junsun Hwang, Amit Yedidia Dolev

Here, we introduce a design, fabrication, and control methodology for large amplitude torsional microactuators powered by ultrasound. The microactuators are 3D printed from two polymers with drastically different elastic moduli as a monolithic compliant me ...

Stress wave propagation through a 180° bend junction in a square cross-sectional bar

Jean-François Molinari, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez, Ghatu Subhash

Longitudinal elastic stress wave propagation through a 180° bend junction connecting two square bars is analyzed using analytical and numerical approaches and validated against experiments. The aim is to identify conditions under which the one-dimensional ...

Micromechanical Modelling of Elastic Wave Velocity Variations for Intact Brittle Rocks

Antoine Guggisberg

Until now, the micromechanical wing crack model of Ashby & Sammis 1990 describing the brittle field of rocks has only been used for failure predictions. However, it gives relevant information regarding the crack opening process, so this model is extended t ...

An Extension of the Guided Wave M‐Component Model Taking Into Account the Presence of a Tall Strike Object

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Qi Li, Mi Zhou

We present in this paper an extension of the guided-wave M-component model of Rakov et al. considering the presence of a vertically elevated strike object. The tall object is represented as a lossless, uniform transmission line. Expressions for the current ...

Three-dimensional fabrication of sub-micron optical waveguides in PDMS and other polymer materials

Giulia Panusa

Optical waveguides are one of the most important photonic components. They are indispensable tools in many of todayâs technologies because of their capacity of guiding light. In particular, compact, low loss, flexible polymer optical waveguides are cruci ...

Crack front waves are long-lived perturbations propagating along the crack front. They are triggered by heterogeneities on the crack plane, as for instance tough asperities, which disturb the crack front shape. Crack front waves are thought to leave a trac ...

PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2020

In this paper, we present a complete analytical derivation of the equations used for stationary and nonstationary wave systems regarding resonant sound transmission and reflection described by the phenomenological coupled-mode theory. We calculate the prop ...

Wave propagation in the vicinities of rock fractures under obliquely incident wave

Lyesse Laloui, Jian Zhao, Yang Zou, Jing Li

Though obliquely incident plane wave across rock fractures has been extensively investigated by theoretical analysis, the quantitative identification of each wave emerged from fractures has not been achieved either in numerical simulation or laboratory exp ...
