Journal ArticleDOI
In situ Mechanical Testing Reveals Periodic Buckle Nucleation and Propagation in Carbon Nanotube Bundles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed uniaxial compression on 50-µm-diameter bundles of carbon nanotubes grown via chemical vapor deposition from a photolithographically defined catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Directly Measuring the Complete Stress–Strain Response of Ultrathin Polymer Films
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a method for ultrathin film tensile testing that stretches a two-dimensional, yet nanoscopically thin, polymer film on the surface of water, and observe a precipitous decrease in Young's modulus, strain at failure, and nominal stress at failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of uniaxial compression of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out axisymmetric, finite deformation finite element analyses of the uniaxial compression of cylindrical bundles of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) firmly attached to a Si substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic cavitation and fracture via injection
TL;DR: This work combines analyses of both mechanisms in order to determine how the full system thermodynamics, including far-field compliance, dictate whether a bubble in an elastomeric solid will grow through either reversible or irreversible deformations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cavitation-induced damage of soft materials by focused ultrasound bursts: A fracture-based bubble dynamics model
TL;DR: Estimates based upon independently determined elasticity and viscosity of the two gel materials suggest that bubble confinement should be sufficient to prevent damage in the gels, and presumably injury in some tissues.
