The Visual Perception of Elasticity
… were designed to evaluate human sensitivity to elasticity. Elastic objects bend when a force is applied to them. Observers saw two computer-generated bending rods (defined by the motions of 50 dots) on any given trial and were required to judge which rod was more flexible. Elasticity difference …

Sequence Dependent Elasticity of DNA
… aims at better understanding sequence dependent elasticity of double stranded DNA elasticity, across biologically relevant length scales. A theoretical description is developed that makes is possible to relate structural, biochemical and biophysical experiments and simulation. It is based on the …

Elasticity Measurement at High Temperatures
A magnetostrictive delay line technique is used to excite the resonant modes of vibration of thin discs. The temperature variations of Poisson's Ratio and Young's modulus are measured using these modes. The elastic constants of a variety of grades of graphite, including pyrolytic graphite (which …

One Hundred and Fifty Percent Elasticity
The sculptural environments I create immerse the viewer in a decrepit vaudevillian past. The sculptures allude to narratives within Community Theater as well as the Drag Show. Making becomes an act; manipulating materials such as synthetic hair and paint are associated with the guise of the makeup …

Polygonal finite elements for finite elasticity
… explore an alternative approach to model finite elasticity problems in two dimensions by using polygonal discretizations. To account for incompressible behavior, a general theoretical framework of deriving the two-field variational principle, involving a displacement field and a pressure field, …

Overall results in second-order elasticity
A method for determining overall load-deformation relations for small-strain elastic deformations with large displacements has been adapted so that second-order elastic effects can be included in certain overall quantities such as bending stiffness without explicit determination of the second-order …

Series Elasticity in Linearly Actuated Humanoids
Recent advancements in actuator technologies, computation, and control have led to major leaps in capability and have brought humanoids ever closer to being feasible solutions for real-world applications. As the capabilities of humanoids increase, they will be called on to operate in unstructured …

Boundary Value Problems in Elasticity and Thermoelasticity
… value problems arising from crack problems in elasticity and thermoelasticity. Using integral transform techniques and separation of variables appropriately, it is shown that the solutions can be found by solving a corresponding set of triple or dual integral equations in some instances, while …

Variational Principles in Finite Elasticity With Applications
A variational principle of the complementary energy type is derived. Trial functions for the actual deformation gradient are used in the formulation of the principle. Corresponding principles for elastic bodies subject to kinematical constraints such as incompressibility are formulated. The same …
