The great application potential for two-dimensional (2D) membranes (MoS 2, WSe 2, graphene and so on) aroused much effort to understand their fundamental mechanical properties. The out-of-plane ...
Elastic membranes and plates are essential components in structural mechanics, widely used in designing structures and tools. Improving these membranes and plates can significantly enhance the ...
Thin materials may exhibit instabilities when placed under large loads. In addition to the commonly known buckling phenomena that occur under compressive loading, thin tubular membranes also ...
We have studied the equilibrium and linear mechanical properties of model membranes of Escherichia coli built up as Langmuir monolayers of a native lipid extract using surface thermodynamics, ...
The purpose of this study is to better understand extracellular vesicles and their nanomechanical properties. This is vital as elasticity is believed to influence cellular interaction and by extension ...
Abstract: We study low-cost modeling and haptic rendering methods for deformable objects in model-mediated teleoperation (MMT). An accurate local model is key to achieve good perceived realism in MMT.
