Controlling the Bending Response of a Multi-Layer Composite Module
Controllable bending stiffness and damping has significant applications in soft robotics, especially for soft slender manipulator arms inspired by octopus tentacles. The bending moment on a solid slender beam is balanced by the sum of moments generated by internal stresses. Resulting stresses are not controllable and decided by the bending curvature, area moment of inertia and elastic modulus o...
متن کاملExtreme stiffness systems due to negative stiffness elements
When an elastic object is pressed, we expect it to resist by exerting a restoring force. A reversal of this force corresponds to negative stiffness. If we combine elements with positive and negative stiffness in a composite, it is possible to achieve stiffness greater than ~or less than! that of any of the constituents. This behavior violates established bounds that tacitly assume that each pha...
متن کاملExtreme damping in composite materials with a negative stiffness phase.
Composites with negative stiffness inclusions in a viscoelastic matrix are shown to have higher stiffness and mechanical damping tandelta than that of either constituent and exceeding conventional bounds. The causal mechanism is a greater deformation in and near the inclusions than the composite as a whole. Though a block of negative stiffness is unstable, negative stiffness inclusions in a com...
متن کاملComposite materials with viscoelastic stiffness greater than diamond.
We show that composite materials can exhibit a viscoelastic modulus (Young's modulus) that is far greater than that of either constituent. The modulus, but not the strength, of the composite was observed to be substantially greater than that of diamond. These composites contain bariumtitanate inclusions, which undergo a volume-change phase transformation if they are not constrained. In the comp...
متن کاملA numerical analysis of effect of segmental lining joints on tunnel support internal forces under seismic loading
During an earthquake, the better performance of segmental tunnel lining, compared to the continuous in-cast concrete lining, is generally related to the joints between segments. In order to better understand the influence of the segment joints, their effect on the internal forces induced in tunnel lining simultaneously with the effects of the other influential parameters should be considered. I...
