  • Crack deflection in laminates with graded stiffness—lessons from biology 17. March 2023
    A crack propagating through a laminate can cause severe structural failure, which may be avoided by deflecting or arresting the crack before it deepens. Inspired by the biology of the scorpion exoskeleton, this study shows how crack deflection can be achieved by gradually varying the stiffness and thickness of the laminate layers. A new generalized […]

  • A bar-joint model based on the corrected resistive force theory for artificial flagellated micro-swimmers propelled by acoustic waves 13. March 2023
    In this work, we proposed a bar-joint model based on the corrected resistive force theory (CRFT) for studying artificial flagellated micro-swimmers (AFMSs) propelled by acoustic waves in a two-dimensional (2D) flow field or with a rectangular cross-section. Note that the classical resistive-force theory for 3D cylindrical flagellum leads to over 90% deviation in terminal velocity […]

  • Effect of valve spacing on peristaltic pumping 9. March 2023
    Peristaltic fluid pumping due to a periodically propagating contraction wave in a vessel fitted with one-way elastic valves is investigated numerically. It is concluded that the valve spacing within the vessel relative to the contraction wavelength plays a critical role in providing efficient pumping. When the valve spacing does not match the wavelength, the valves […]
