The dramatic spread of urbanization in modern cities requires smart solutions to address
critical issues such as mobility, healthcare, energy, and civil infrastructure. The Internet of …

Deformation instability is a macroscopic and microscopic phenomenon of non-uniformity
and unstable deformation of materials under stress loading conditions, and it is affected by …

Electronic fabrics necessitate both electrical conductivity and, like any textile, elastic
recovery. Achieving both requirements on the scale of a single fiber remains an unmet need …

Piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) has been reported as a green energy solution that
generates electrical power from mechanical deformations resulted in the environment. Here …

This paper introduces an automatic way of performing 3D static and dynamic elastoplastic
analyses in the framework of the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM), which …

In recent years, the study of Functionally graded materials (FGM) opened exciting new
venues for the control and manipulation of engineered materials and structures. In this study …

Thanks to their efficiency enhancement systems based on post-buckled structural elements
have been extensively used in many applications such as actuation, remote sensing and …

Buckling instability refers to a significant limit on the structures with I-section members, which
causes severe decreasing of critical buckling load. Many mechanisms and techniques have …

Postbuckling response of elastic beams has been widely used in many systems to develop
efficient energy harvesting and damage sensing mechanisms under quasistatic excitations …

This study develops a novel buckling-based mechanism to measure the thermal response of
prestressed concrete bridge girders under continuous temperature changes for structural …
