Competition between Mullins and curvature effects in the wrinkling of stretched soft shells

Submitted by Fan Xu on

A highly stretched hyperelastic shell exhibits a coupling behavior of local wrinkling and global bending within the stability boundary, and curvature resists and can even suppress surface wrinkles beyond a critical threshold. Here, we report a novel phenomenon that smooth surface maintains upon stretching a soft shell, while wrinkles emerge upon unloading, which implies a nonlinear interplay between curvature and Mullins (stress softening and residual strain) effects in the entire loading-unloading cycle.

About resonant frequency and dental implants

Submitted by D.Rittel on

We have analyzed the so-called Resonant Frequency Analysis, a method used to assess the stability of dental implants. In spite of its widespread use, there is only a handful of engineering analyses that define the limits of applicability and the sensitivity of the method. So, here is another example of what I call "Denta; Engineering".
