Fatigue response of notched graphite--epoxy laminates
Changes in the stiffness and strength of notched quasi-isotropic graphite-epoxy laminates were recorded and related to the fatigue damage. Two different laminates [0,90,+45,-45]s (type A) and [ +45, 90, -45, 0] s (type B) were considered and the effects of stacking sequence were compared. …

Cell migration and alignment on mechanically controlled environment
… First study is a cell migration behavior on stiffness controlled three-dimensional in vitro environment. The continuous stiffness gradient 3D environment is provided by the effective stiffness on a PDMS wavy pattern, and the relationship between stiffness gradient and the cell migration is …
