Princeton engineers are twisting, stretching and creasing structures to create a new type of origami, one that changes its shape and properties in response to changing circumstances. The new method ...

Researchers engineer a new class of microlattice materials with enhanced stiffness-to-density ratios and giant negative Poisson's ratios, ideal for lightweight applications. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Introduction: Continuum robots are studied and applied in neurosurgery due to their high flexibility and adaptability. The basic performance of continuum is mainly evaluated by stiffness, but there is ...

Abstract: The determination of critical load in frames is a crucial part of determining the stability of a structure and creating a simplified method of analysis for varying element and frame ...

Schematic diagram depicting the mechanism of the rigid matrix regulating cell glycolysis in degenerated NPCs. In degenerated NP tissue, MRTF-A was activated by increased matrix stiffness and ...

I read your 2017 article on that 1D and never knew what to do with the stiffness matrix and how to deal with the dual singular value integrals, could you provide information and code for this if ...

A new study, led by Prof. Liu from the department of pharmacy, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, discovered that the extracellular cell matrix (ECM) could induce the drug ...
