Analysis of the cup-cone fracture in a round tensile bar

Recognizing the critical need for standardization in strain imaging, in 2010, the European Association of Echocardiography (now the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, EACVI) and the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) invited technical representatives from all interested vendors to participate in a concerted effort to reduce intervendor variability of strain measurement. As an initial product of the work of the EACVI/ASE/Industry initiative to standardize deformation imaging, we prepared this technical document which is intended to provide definitions, names, abbreviations, formulas, and procedures for calculation of physical quantities derived from speckle tracking echocardiography and thus create a common standard.

Definitions for a common standard for 2D speckle tracking echocardiography: consensus document of the EACVI/ASE/Industry Task Force to standardize deformation imaging

This review comprises a detailed survey of ongoing methodologies for soft actuators, highlighting approaches suitable for nanometer- to centimeter-scale robotic applications. Soft robots present a special design challenge in that their actuation and sensing mechanisms are often highly integrated with the robot body and overall functionality. When less than a centimeter, they belong to an even more special subcategory of robots or devices, in that they often lack on-board power, sensing, computation, and control. Soft, active materials are particularly well suited for this task, with a wide range of stimulants and a number of impressive examples, demonstrating large deformations, high motion complexities, and varied multifunctionality. Recent research includes both the development of new materials and composites, as well as novel implementations leveraging the unique properties of soft materials.

Self-consistent Eulerian rate type elasto-plasticity models based upon the logarithmic stress rate

In the present paper, Hill's theory of bifurcation and stability in solids obeying normality is generalized to include a non-associated flow law. A one-parameter family of linear comparison solids has been found that admits a potential and has the property that if uniqueness is certain for the comparison solid then bifurcation and instability are precluded for the underlying elastic-plastic solid. The uniqueness criterion derived may be used as a device to determine lower bounds to the magnitudes of primary bifurcation and instability stresses which are ordinarily unknown. A second linear solid is introduced whose constitutive relations have the same form as the elastic-plastic solid “in loading”. The first eigenstate of this solid gives an upper bound to the primary bifurcation state of the underlying elastic-plastic solid. The search for the genuine primary bifurcation state is therefore replaced by a search for upper and lower bounds in the situation when normality fails to hold. The theory is applied to problems of homogeneous stress states.
