Mechanical analysis of pimple growth and pain level characterization
Xiangbiao Liao, Xiaobin Deng, LiangLiang Zhu +4
Pimple is one of the most common skin diseases for humans. The mechanical modeling of pimple growth is very limited. A finite element model is developed to quantify the deformation…

Unconventional Localization Prior to Wrinkles and Controllable Surface Patterns of Film Substrate Bilayers Through Patterned Defects in Substrate
Xiangbiao Liao, Liangliang Zhu, Hang Xiao +4
A novel bilayer is introduced, consisting of a stiff film adhered to a soft substrate with patterned holes beneath the film and substrate interface. To uncover the transition of su…

Architectures of Soft Robotic Locomotion Enabled by Simple Mechanical Principles
Liangliang Zhu, Yunteng Cao, Yilun Liu +2
In nature, a variety of limbless locomotion patterns flourish from the small or basic life form (Escherichia coli, the amoeba, etc.) to the large or intelligent creatures (e.g., sl…
