Convolutions are a classical hallmark of most mammalian brains. Brain surface morphology is often associated with intelligence and closely correlated neurological dysfunction. Yet, we know surprisingly little about the underlying mechanisms cortical folding. Here identify role key anatomic players during folding process: thickness, stiffness, growth. To establish estimates for critical time, pressure, wavelength at onset folding, derive an analytical model using Föppl–von Kármán theory....
Abstract The present contribution is concerned with the computational modelling of cohesive cracks in quasi‐brittle materials, whereby discontinuity not limited to interelement boundaries, but allowed propagate freely through elements. In elements, which are intersected by discontinuity, additional displacement degrees freedom introduced at existing nodes. Therefore, two independent copies standard basis functions used. One set put zero on one side while it takes its usual values opposite...
Abstract The numerical modelling of non‐linear electroelasticity is presented in this work. Based on well‐established basic equations a variational formulation built and the finite element method employed to solve electro‐mechanical coupling problem. Numerical examples are show accuracy implemented formulation. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Abstract Rubber-like materials can deform largely and nonlinearly upon loading, they return to the initial configuration when load is removed. Such rubber elasticity achieved due very flexible long-chain molecules a three-dimensional network structure that formed via cross-linking or entanglements between molecules. Over years, model mechanical behavior of such randomly oriented microstructures, several phenomenological micromechanically motivated models for nearly incompressible...
Selective electron beam melting of Ti-6Al-4V is a promising additive manufacturing process to produce complex parts layer-by-layer additively. The quality and dimensional accuracy the produced depend on various parameters their interactions. In present contribution, lifetime, width depth pools molten powder material are analyzed for different powers, scan speeds line energies in experiments simulations. experiments, thin-walled structures built with an ARCAM AB A2 selective machine...
Abstract Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play a crucial role the response of medium. A well- established strategy to capture finite-thickness interphase behavior is replace it with zero-thickness interface model characterized by its own displacement and/or traction jumps, resulting different models. The contributions date dealing interfaces commonly assume...
Abstract Recent advances in magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) have posed the question on whether combination of both soft- and hard-magnetic particles may open new routes to design versatile multifunctional actuators. Here, we conceptualise ultra-soft hybrid MREs (≈1–10 kPa stiffness) combining experimental computational approaches. First, a comprehensive characterisation is performed. The results unravel that magneto-mechanical performance can be optimised by selecting an adequate mixing...
