Piercing soft solids: A mechanical theory for needle insertion
Stefano Fregonese, Mattia Bacca
In this paper we investigate the mechanical problem of piercing a soft solid body with a needle. This phenomenon is controlled by the critical condition of needle insertion. Needle…
Cutting Soft Matter: Scaling relations controlled by toughness, friction, and wear
Bharath Antarvedi Goda, Zhenwei Ma, Stefano Fregonese +1
Cutting mechanics of soft solids is gaining rapid attention thanks to its promising benefits in material characterization and other applications. However, a full understanding of t…
How friction and adhesion affect the mechanics of deep penetration in soft solids
Stefano Fregonese, Mattia Bacca
The mechanics of puncture and soft solid penetration is commonly explored with the assumption of frictionless contact between the needle (penetrator) and the specimen. This leads t…
Theoretical Puncture Mechanics of Soft Compressible Solids
Stefano Fregonese, Zhiyuan Tong, Sibo Wang +1
Accurate prediction of the force required to puncture a soft material is critical in many fields like medical technology, food processing, and manufacturing. However, such a predic…
