Delamination of thin film strips
Delamination of residually stressed thin film strips is analyzed to expose the dependence on strip width and filmysubstrate elastic mismatch. Isotropic films and substrates are assumed. The residual stress in the film is tensile and assumed to originate from mismatch due to thermal expansion or epitaxial deposition. Full and partial delamination modes are explored. In full delamination, the int...
متن کاملCharacterization of Torsional Stiffness in Harmonic Drive
Primarily for aerospace applications, harmonic drives (HD’s) are high-ratio, compact torque transmission systems. This mechanical transmission employs a continuous deflection wave along a non-rigid gear, the socalled ‘flexspline’, to allow gradual engagement of gear teeth. A harmonic drive also contains a wave-generator (a ball-bearing assembly with a rigid elliptical inner-race) and a circular...
متن کاملPolynomials non-negative on strips and half-strips
An expression f = σ+ τ(x− x) is an immediate witness to the positivity condition on f . In general, one wants to characterize polynomials f which are positive, or nonnegative, on a semialgebraic set K ⊆ R in terms of sums of squares and the polynomials used to define K. Representation theorems of this type have a long and illustrious history, going back at least to Hilbert. There has been much ...
متن کاملNegative hair-bundle stiffness betrays a mechanism for mechanical amplification by the hair cell.
Hearing and balance rely on the ability of hair cells in the inner ear to sense miniscule mechanical stimuli. In each cell, sound or acceleration deflects the mechanosensitive hair bundle, a tuft of rigid stereocilia protruding from the cell's apical surface. By altering the tension in gating springs linked to mechanically sensitive transduction channels, this deflection changes the channels' o...
متن کاملAnalysis of Thin-Walled Structures Using Torsional-Bending Elements
In this paper a new element for analysis of thin-walled structures is presented, and the effects of secondary shear stresses on longitudinal displacements are examined. Since the Interpolation Functions are based on non-uniform torsional differential equations, the analysis of stiffness matrix is facilitated. Therefore, its ability to produce accurate results with the least number of elements i...
