Cortical recording with conducting polymer electrodes
… made from metal or silicon. However, the large stiffness mismatch between the electrodes and brain tissue causes shear-induced inflammation, limiting long-term recording stability. The flexibility of a polypyrrole microwire has the potential to improve the chronic recording stability by …

Manufacturing and properties of titanium-based materials produced by selective laser melting
… close to that of human bone, leading to reduce stiffness mismatch between implant and bone. This research demonstrates that SLM is a promising method for fabricating titanium-based samples with superior mechanical properties (i.e. tensile, compression and hardness) to those produced by casting …

Numerical simulation of an English equestrian Saddletree
… geometric parameters. From cantilever tests, the stiffness of the saddletree was found to be between 3.63 N/mm and 4.68 N/mm, and the steel reinforcement plates increased the stiffness by a factor of up to 2.3 times. Simply supported, the stiffness of the saddletree was between 526.62 N/mm and …

Deformation and fracture of PMMA with application to nanofoaming and adhesive joints
… zone size, specimen width, and elastic modulus mismatch ratio. Joint design maps are constructed, revealing competing regimes of fracture. The analytical theory is verified by finite element calculations, and validated by means of two experimental case studies.
