Marvelous bending/straightening effects of two-way shape memory alloy (TWSMA) help their employment in design and manufacturing of new medical appliances. Constrained ageing with bending load scheme can induce two-way shape memory effect (TWSME). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, electrical resistivity measurement (ERM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are employed to dete...

The important electron-microscope studies by Satir (1965,1968) have demonstrated that the bending of a cilium is accompanied by longitudinal sliding of its peripheral microtubular filaments relative to one another. These observations imply that the bending of the cilium is not generated by active contraction or extension of the filaments, since they appear to retain constant lengths throughout ...

Purpose of this paper is to offer the reader an overview of recently performed and ongoing research related to process planning for sheet metal bending, thus providing a starting point for further exploration of this field. The scope of this review paper is limited to sheet metal bending as performed on numerically controlled press brakes, with special focus on air bending. Automatic process pl...

The mechanical properties of cancellous bone are fundamental in providing structural support and flexibility during physical activities. Characterization its behaviour were found crucial as information the elastic failure tissue may potentially be used to study effects drug treatments, aging disease at level. This aims present difference between compressive three-point bending loads. Cancellous...

Abstract Delamination is considered as one of the most critical failure modes which occurs near free edges in laminated composites due to high interlaminar stress. When classical plate theory used determine plane stress, stresses cannot be assessed by this theory, it adopts stress assumption. For that, a three-dimensional finite element analysis adopted calculate in-plane well out-of-plane unde...
