TL;DR: In this article, the effects of bending rigidity and mode orders over material loss factor were investigated for rectangular and trapezoidal corrugated plates of steel and a simple isotropic steel plate.

TL;DR: Structural analysis for an osseointegrated dental implant system finds that the bending moment due to the vertical component of the applied load can produce stresses in the implant which are an order of magnitude larger than the direct axial stresses.

TL;DR: In this article, an analytical solution for the elastic response and the strain energy release rate based on an average membrane stress approximation was found for a thin blistering film under a uniform pressure change from a bending to a stretching membrane as the thickness and flexural rigidity decrease.
Abstract: The mechanical behavior of a thin blistering film under a uniform pressure changes from a bending to a stretching membrane as the thickness and flexural rigidity decrease. An analytical solution is found for the elastic response and the strain energy release rate based on an average membrane stress approximation.

TL;DR: In this article, the lattice Boltzmann flexible particle method (LBFPM) is used to simulate fluid-structure interaction and motion of a flexible wing in a three-dimensional space.
Abstract: The lattice Boltzmann flexible particle method (LBFPM) is used to simulate fluid-structure interaction and motion of a flexible wing in a three-dimensional space. In the method, a beam with rectangular cross section has been discretized into a chain of rigid segments. The segments are connected through ball and socket joints at their ends and may be bent and twisted. Deformation of flexible structure is treated with a linear elasticity model through bending and twisting. It is demonstrated that the flexible particle method (FPM) can approximate the nonlinear Euler–Bernoulli beam equation without resorting to a nonlinear elasticity model. Simulations of plunge and pitch of flexible wing at Reynolds number Re=136 are conducted in hovering condition by using the LBFPM. It is found that both lift and drag forces increase first, then decrease dramatically as the bending rigidity in spanwise direction decreases and that the lift and drag forces are sensitive to rigidity in a certain range. It is shown that the ...

TL;DR: The first quantitative evidence of a very significant material anisotropy in sickle hemoglobin fibers is presented, as might arise from the difference between axial and lateral contacts within the fiber.
