TL;DR: This work uses single-particle tracking methods combined with a fluctuation analysis to systematically study the dependence of ℓp on the total filament length L, and interprets this length dependence as a consequence of a nonnegligible shear deflection determined by subnanometer relative displacement of adjacent protofilaments.
Book
Damage and Failure of Composite Materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a complete guide to composite material damage, fatigue, and failure, focusing on the underlying principles governing composite damage, reviewing basic equations and mechanics theory, before describing mechanisms of damage such as cracking, breakage and buckling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biothermomechanics of skin tissues
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a computational approach to examine the heat transfer process and the heat-induced mechanical response, so that the differences among the clinically applied heating modalities can be quantified.
