Asymmetric flexural behavior from bamboo’s functionally graded hierarchical structure: Underlying mechanisms

Submitted by Yang Lu on Tue, 03/17/2015 - 10:36

As one of the most renewable resources on Earth, bamboo has recently attracted increasing interest for its promising applications in sustainable structural purposes. Its superior mechanical properties arising from the unique functionally-graded (FG) hierarchical structure also make bamboo an excellent candidate for bio-mimicking purposes in advanced material design. However, despite its well-documented, impressive mechanical characteristics, the intriguing asymmetry in flexural behavior of bamboo, alongside its underlying mechanisms, has not yet been fully understood.

Development of a Biofidelic Human Head Model from MRI data

Submitted by Simpleware on Mon, 03/16/2015 - 14:39

Traumatic brain injuries from head impact are a major issue across areas such as defence, automotive and sports, and can be costly to research using experimental testing. These injuries can be explored, though, through 3D models created from scan data and computer simulations.

Viscous Regularization

Submitted by Navid Moheb on Mon, 03/16/2015 - 14:19

Hello everyone,

I am working with Abaqus and trying to model a problem using pore-pressure cohesive elements but I have a hard time on the converging side of it. I was looking at the articles and Abaqus Documentation and I found viscous regularization az a method to help. Actually I found the papers that firstly introduced this method but I cannot get it very well and I was looking forward to see if anyone can help.
