Soft beams: when capillarity induces axial compression.
We study the interaction of an elastic beam with a liquid drop in the case where bending and extensional effects are both present. We use a variational approach to derive equilibrium equations and constitutive relation for the beam. This relation is shown to include a term due to surface energy in addition to the classical Young's modulus term, leading to a modification of Hooke's law. At the t...
متن کاملElastocapillary snapping: capillarity induces snap-through instabilities in small elastic beams.
We report on the capillarity-induced snapping of elastic beams. We show that a millimeter-sized water drop gently deposited on a thin buckled polymer strip may trigger an elastocapillary snap-through instability. We investigate experimentally and theoretically the statics and dynamics of this phenomenon and we further demonstrate that snapping can act against gravity, or be induced by soap bubb...
متن کاملSolid capillarity: when and how does surface tension deform soft solids?
Soft solids differ from stiff solids in an important way: their surface stresses can drive large deformations. Based on a topical workshop held in the Lorentz Center in Leiden, this Opinion highlights some recent advances in the growing field of solid capillarity and poses key questions for its advancement.
متن کاملbuckling of functionally graded beams with rectangular and annular sections subjected to axial compression
the current study presents a new analytical method for buckling analysis of rectangular and annular beams made up of functionally graded materials with constant thickness and poisson’s ratio. the boundary conditions of the beam are assumed to be simply supported and clamped. the stability equations were obtained by using conservation of energy. the critical buckling load and first mode shape we...
متن کاملDerivation of the Bi-axial Bending, Compression and Shear Strengths of Timber Beams
The derivation is given of the combined bi-axial bending, compression and shear strength of timber beams. As for other materials the elastic–full plastic limit design approach applies, which is known to precisely explain and predict uniaxial bending strength behaviour. The derivation is based on choosing the location of the neutral line. This provides the stress distribution in the beam cross s...
