Numerical and experimental framework for bending elasticity of highly flexible slender structures
Shunsuke Nomura, Satsuki Shibuya, Isamu Hashiguchi +2
Slender structures are highly flexible, spanning several orders of magnitude in length scale. Their deformation depends on the slenderness of their cross sections, highlighting tha…
Where Humpty Dumpty Breaks: Geometry-Driven Fracture in Ellipsoidal Shells
Naoki Sekiya, Yuri Akiba, Kai Kageyama +3
Fracture networks are ubiquitous in nature, spanning scales from millimeter-sized cracks in botanical peels to hundred-kilometer-long lineae on planetary satellites. The propagatio…
Curling morphology of knitted fabrics: Structure and Mechanics
Kotone Tajiri, Riki Murakami, Shunsuke Kobayashi +2
Knitted fabrics are two-dimensional-like structures formed by stitching one-dimensional yarn into three-dimensional curves. Plain stitch or stockinette stitch, one of the most fund…
Snap and Jump: How Elastic Shells Pop Out
Takara Abe, Isamu Hashiguchi, Yukitake Nakahara +5
Grip, walk, crawl, and jump. Soft robots are integrated functional structures composed of compliant mechanisms, whose activity spans various industrial applications such as surgery…
Analytical Expression for Fracture Profile in Viscoelastic Crack Propagation
Hokuto Nagatakiya, Naoyuki Sakumichi, Shunsuke Kobayashi +1
We derive an analytical expression for the strain field during steady-state crack propagation in viscoelastic solids described by the standard linear solid (Zener) model. This expr…
