Electroresponsive Aqueous Silk Protein As “Smart” Mechanical Damping Fluid
Here we demonstrate the effectiveness of an electroresponsive aqueous silk protein polymer as a smart mechanical damping fluid. The aqueous polymer solution is liquid under ambient conditions, but is reversibly converted into a gel once subjected to an electric current, thereby increasing or decreasing in viscosity. This nontoxic, biodegradable, reversible, edible fluid also bonds to device sur...
متن کاملElectro-Thermo-Mechanical Vibration Analysis of a Foam-Core Smart Composite Cylindrical Shell Containing Fluid
In this study, free vibration of a foam-core orthotropic smart composite cylindrical shell (SCCS) filled with a non-viscous compressible fluid, subjected to combined electro-thermo-mechanical loads is investigated. Piezoelectric polymeric cylindrical shell, is made from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and reinforced by armchair double walled boron nitride nanotubes (DWBNNTs). Characteristics of...
متن کاملThe Loss Factor as a Measure of Mechanical Damping
The problem of damping representation and measurement is investigated. Among the many parameters found in literature, the most comprehensive is loss factor 'l· Several definitions of '7 are feasible, but in linear problems they all should reduce to the ratio of the in-phase and quadrature parts of the associated complex modulus. This work surveys measuring methods for materials and structures w...
متن کاملMechanical and Physical Properties of Recombinant Spider Silk Films Using Organic and Aqueous Solvents
Spider silk has exceptional mechanical and biocompatibility properties. The goal of this study was optimization of the mechanical properties of synthetic spider silk thin films made from synthetic forms of MaSp1 and MaSp2, which compose the dragline silk of Nephila clavipes. We increased the mechanical stress of MaSp1 and 2 films solubilized in both HFIP and water by adding glutaraldehyde and t...
متن کاملSingle Honeybee Silk Protein Mimics Properties of Multi-Protein Silk
Honeybee silk is composed of four fibrous proteins that, unlike other silks, are readily synthesized at full-length and high yield. The four silk genes have been conserved for over 150 million years in all investigated bee, ant and hornet species, implying a distinct functional role for each protein. However, the amino acid composition and molecular architecture of the proteins are similar, sug...
