A distributed Brillouin fiber sensor has been employed to detect localized pipe-wall buckling in an energy pipe by measuring the longitudinal and hoop strain distributions along the outer surface of the pipe for the first time. The locations of the localized pipe-wall buckling are found and distinguished using their corresponding strain-load data. The formation of the buckling process for the c...

It is well known that Korn's inequality plays a central role in the theory of linear elasticity. In their recent work Grabovsky and Truskinovsky (2007) proved a connection between the Korn inequalities and buckling problems coming from nonlinear elasticity. It has been shown that when the general buckling theory by Grabovsky and Truskinovsky is applicable, then Korn's inequality gives a lower b...

existence of cracks in industrial structures is one of the important causes of their failure, especially when they are subjected to important axial compressive forces that might lead to buckling. therefore, it must be considered in stress analysis and designing and loading of such structures. in this paper, the buckling and post-buckling behaviors of stainless-steel cracked plates under axial c...

This paper presents buckling studies made on skew plates using finite element. The effects of the skew angle, aspect ratio, length-to-thickness-ratio, fibre orientation angle, and numbers of layers in the laminate and laminate sequence on the critical buckling load factor (Kcr) of antisymmetric composite laminates have also been presented. The critical buckling load factor (Kcr) is found to inc...

The bidirectional laser Doppler technique and monochromatic photography were used to measure the absolute blood flow rate in the major temporal retinal arteries in seven patients following unilateral scleral buckling and encircling procedures, and in two patients before and after removal of scleral buckling elements. In the seven patients who had undergone uncomplicated scleral buckling procedu...

Two buckling modes have been observed in thin films: buckle delamination and wrinkling. This letter identifies the conditions for selecting the favored buckling modes for elastic films on elastic substrates. Transition from one buckling mode to another is predicted as the stiffness ratio between the substrate and the film or is predicted for variation of the stiffness ratio between the substrat...

Silicene, the all-Si analogue of graphene, is symmetrically buckled in each of the six-membered units and this buckling is periodically translated across the surface. Raman spectra of silicene clusters were calculated using first principles DFT methods to explore the intrinsic buckling in silicene. The presence of metal clusters as a tip over the silicene units affects the intensity of the buck...

Buckling of soft matter is ubiquitous in nature and has attracted increasing interest recently. This paper studies the retractile behaviors of a spherical shell perforated by sophisticated apertures, attributed to the buckling-induced large deformation. The buckling patterns observed in experiments were reproduced in computational modeling by imposing velocity-controlled loads and eigenmode-aff...

The stability of arteries is essential to normal arterial functions and loss of stability can lead to arterial tortuosity and kinking. Collagen is a main extracellular matrix component that modulates the mechanical properties of arteries and collagen degradation at pathological conditions weakens the mechanical strength of arteries. However, the effects of collagen degradation on the mechanical...
