This work presents a generalized Kirchhoff-Love shell theory that can explicitly capture fiber-induced anisotropy not only in stretching and out-of-plane bending, but also in-plane bending. setup is particularly suitable for heterogeneous fibrous materials such as textiles, biomaterials, composites pantographic structures. The presented direct extension of classical to incorporate the bending r...

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain-dysfunction syndrome is considered a multifactorial pathology and many researchers have attempted to elucidate possible causes of occlusion that contribute to this pathology. Many authors 1-4 have observed that there are abnormalities in the masticatory patterns of TMJ patients, but because current investigative methods lack standardization we cannot yet expla...

Novel theories are needed for the discovery of innovative and exotic metamaterial their rational design. The current practice mechanical analyses based upon moribund classical experimental trial-error campaigns is caught in an inescapable vortex illusion inductive reasoning. novel research paradigm one which formulation theoretical concepts precede validation. In absence understanding, design e...

Architected metamaterials offering superior dynamic performances can be conceived by inducing local mechanisms of inertia amplification in the periodic microstructure. A one-dimensional cellular lattice characterized a pantograph mechanism tetra-atomic cell is proposed as minimal physical realization inertially amplified metamaterial. discrete model formulated to describe undamped free dynamics...
