The Continuum

A one-dimensional poroelastic model of trabecular bone was developed to investigate the fluid effect on the mechanical behavior at the continuum level. The poroelastic properties were determined based upon an assumed drained Poisson's ratio of 0.3 and experimental results reported in the literature. Even though the free escape of the fluid through the loading end was allowed during deformation, model predictions showed that the pore pressure generated within trabecular bone would cause significant variations in total stress. The total stress increase resulted in a stiffening of trabecular bone, which supports the concept of hydraulic stiffening that has been advocated by several investigators. Model predictions showed a good agreement to the mechanical behaviors of trabecular bone specimens with marrow in situ in a uniaxial strain condition observed in previous studies. These results support the hypothesis that trabecular bone is poroelastic and the fluid effect on the mechanical behavior at the continnum level is significant. Thus, the incorporation of the fluid effect in future studies is recommended to improve our understanding of mechanical behavior of trabecular bone.

Understanding the behavior of system with flexible elements is increasingly important in modern day technology. Reducing the mass of machine elements leads to a remarkable improvement in dynamic performance. However, a loss of precision also occurs with such an increase in flexibility. In order to arrive at a better understanding of systems with flexible elements, we are investigating the particular behavior of a hydraulic servo driven rotating flexible beam with the aim of obtaining a methodology that could be applied to a real application. To investigate this behavior, a set of models has been developed. In this paper, a theoretical model, using classical modal analysis methodology, is presented. The flexible beam is modeled in a standard way and the hydraulic servo drive is modeled as a boundary condition. Only normal modes will be investigated. This approach allows considering the servo proportional constant and the cylinder mass. It will be show that the servo proportional constant has low influence in the system eigen frequencies. The theoretical model predictions are validated experimentally.

Energy Absorbing

A theoretical model is developed to investigate the mechanical behavior of closely packed carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs), the so-called CNS crystals, subjected to uniaxial lateral compression/decompression. Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to verify the model predictions. It is shown that the compression behavior of a CNS crystal can exhibit strong hysteresis that may be tuned by an applied electric field. The present study demonstrates the potential of CNSs for applications in energy-absorbing materials as well as nanodevices, such as artificial muscles, where reversible and controllable volumetric deformations are desired.
