This paper focuses on the numerical modelling of SentryGlas-laminated reinforced glass beams. In these beams, which have been experimentally investigated in preceding research, a stainless steel reinforcement section is laminated at the inner recessed edge ...
A method for preparing a topographically structured hydrogel microarray is described comprising the steps of a) providing one or more types of biomolecule(s) on top of micropillars of an array of micropillars, preferably by means of robotical spotting, b) ...
Different factors such as age, location of timber within the tree, structural imperfections, load history such as wind and snow etc. can affect the material properties of timber taken from the same species, and grown in the same geographical location and l ...
Auxetic materials expand when stretched, and shrink when compressed. This is the result of a negative Poisson's ratio ν. Isotropic configurations with ν≈−1 have been designed and are expected to provide increased shear stiffness G. This assumes that Young' ...
Connectedness and applied stress strongly affect elasticity in solids. In various amorphous materials, mechanical stability can be lost either by reducing connectedness or by increasing pressure. We present an effective medium theory of elasticity that ext ...
A method of analyzing a sample with a probe based measurement instrument using stiffness tomography. Stiffness or elastic modulus data obtained through contact measurement with the sample as a function of depth is used in the detection of features, particu ...
We measured the elastic modulus of individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) grown by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) over a broad diameter range (10-25 nm). Alternating current (ac) dielectrophoresis was used for efficient tube deposition ...
Central to the biological function of microtubules. is their ability to modify their length which occurs by addition and removal of subunits at the ends of the polymer, both in vivo and in vitro. This dynamic behavior is strongly influenced by temperature. ...
Identification of a Strain Energy Function (SEF) is used when describing the complex mechanical properties of soft biological tissues such as the arterial wall. Classic SEFs, such as the one proposed by Chuong and Fung (J. Biomech. Eng. 105(3) (1983) 268), ...
This thesis describes measurements of the mechanical properties on the nanoscale. Three different mesoscopic tubular objects were studied: MoS2 nanotubes, carbon nanotubes and microtubules. The main goal was to investigate the interplay between the fine st ...
