TL;DR: It is shown that the use of sharp cantilever tips, which typically induce local strains that far exceed the linear material regime, can be alleviated by using microspheres as probes, and the criteria for their use is established.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that modes can be selectively excited and that the geometry of the actuator shape markedly affects the distribution of the response among modes, and that it is possible to tailor the shape of an actuator to either excite or suppress particular modes.

TL;DR: This paper compiled a series of synergistic strategies into an algorithm that overcomes many of the complications that have previously impeded efforts to automate the fitting of contact mechanics models to indentation data, and allows for improved consistency and minimized user intervention.

TL;DR: Although this finding supports the generally accepted view that many soft materials can be assumed to be linear elastic at small deformations, the nonlinear models facilitate analysis of intrinsically nonlinear tissues and large-strain indentation behavior.

TL;DR: A multispecies analysis of cochlear shape is provided to test a theory that the spiral's graded curvature enhances the cochlea's mechanical response to low frequencies and demonstrates that the ratio of the radii of curvature from the outermost and innermost turns of the Cochlear spiral is a significant cochLear feature that correlates strongly with low-frequency hearing limits.
