Mechanical metamaterials exhibit tunable properties via the design of their internal architecture, which so far is always made from a solid frame. Here, we instead introduce granular metamaterials, ...

As a natural polymer material, bamboo is regarded as a super material with lightweight but excellent mechanical properties. With the increasing application of bamboo in structures, high-strength ...

With the development and utilization of underground space, many scholars are studying the failure mechanism of tunnel (Xiang et al., 2018; Chen et al., 2019). As a common auxiliary construction method ...

Charged, flexible polymers, such as single-stranded nucleic acids (ssNAs), are ubiquitous in biology and technology. Quantitative description of their solution conformation has remained elusive due to ...

In this paper, both singular and hypersingular fundamental solutions of plane Cosserat elasticity are derived and given in a ready-to-use form. The hypersingular fundamental solutions allow to ...

Arterial elasticity is determined by structural characteristics of the artery wall and by vascular smooth muscle tone. The identity of endogenous vasoactive substances that regulate elasticity has not ...
