A typical plant leaf can be idealized as a composite having three principal fibers: the central mid-fiber corresponding to the mid-rib, straight parallel secondary fibers attached to the mid-fiber representing the secondary veins, and then another set of parallel fibers emanating from the secondary fibers mimicking the tertiary fibers embedded in a matrix material. This paper introduces a biomimetic composite design inspired by the morphology of venous leafs and investigates the effects of venation morphologies on the in-plane mechanical properties of the biomimetic composites using finite element method. The mechanical properties such as Young’s moduli, Poisson’s ratio, and yield stress under uniaxial loading of the resultant composite structures was studied and the effect of different fiber architectures on these properties was investigated. To this end, two broad types of architectures were used both having similar central main fiber but differing in either having only secondary fibers or additional tertiary fibers. The fiber and matrix volume fractions were kept constant and a comparative parametric study was carried out by varying the inclination of the secondary fibers. The results show that the elastic modulus of composite in the direction of main fiber increases linearly with increasing the angle of the secondary fibers. Furthermore, the elastic modulus is enhanced if the secondary fibers are closed, which mimics composites with closed cellular fibers. In contrast, the elastic modulus of composites normal to the main fiber ( x direction) exponentially decreases with the increase of the angle of the secondary fibers and it is little affected by having secondary fibers closed. Similar results were obtained for the yield stress of the composites. The results also indicate that Poisson’s ratio linearly increases with the secondary fiber angle. The results also show that for a constant fiber volume fraction, addition of various tertiary fibers may not significantly enhance the mechanical properties of the composites. The mechanical properties of the composites are mainly dominated by the secondary fibers. Finally, a simple model was proposed to predict these behaviors.

Polylactic acid films were foamed through a solid-state process using liquid carbon dioxide as a physical blowing agent. The foamed films were stretched to understand the effect of cell strut alignment on elastic modulus and yield stress normalised with density. Through stretching, cell strut alignment was achieved and verified with scanning electron microscopy. Aligning the cell struts improved the elastic modulus by a factor of 4 and the yield stress by a factor of 5 while decreasing the strain percentage at break. Aligned cell struts axially strain during tensile deformation which requires more force than unaligned cell struts which bend at initial deformations. The flexographic printability and surface topography of the foamed polylactic acid films was also analysed. The temperature used to impregnate carbon dioxide into the polylactic acid films was varied to understand its significance on printability and surface topography. Samples impregnated at ambient temperatures had smooth surface topography and a shiny lustre and good printability, whereas, samples impregnated at sub-ambient temperatures had a dull and rough texture and poor printability. Also, the carbon dioxide content had an effect on the surface topography and printability.

Elastic/plastic stress and strain fields are obtained in a functionally graded annular disc of constant thickness subject to external pressure, followed by unloading. The elastic modulus and tensile yield stress of the disc are assumed to vary along the radius whereas the Poisson’s ratio is kept constant. The flow theory of plasticity is employed. However, it is shown that the equations of the associated flow rule, which are originally written in terms of plastic strain rate, can be integrated with respect to the time giving the corresponding equations in terms of plastic strain. This feature of the solution significantly facilitates the solution. The general solution is given for arbitrary variations of the elastic modulus and tensile yield stress along the radial coordinate. However, it is assumed that plastic yielding is initiated at the inner radius of the disc and that no other plastic region appears in the course of deformation. The solution in the plastic region at loading reduces to two ordinary differential equations. These equations are solved one by one. Unloading is assumed to be purely elastic. This assumption should be verified a posteriori. An illustrative example demonstrates the effect of the variation of the elastic modulus and tensile yield stress along the radius on the distribution of stresses and strains at the end of loading and after unloading. In this case, it is assumed that the material properties vary according to power-law functions.

ABSTRACTA model is presented that explains the yield stress and hardness enhancements that have been observed in superlattice thin films. The predicted strength/hardness enhancement increased with increasing superlattice period, Λ, before reaching a saturation value that depended on interface widths. The results indicate that superlattice strength/hardness depends strongly on interface widths and the difference in shear moduli of the two components for Λ values below the maximum, and on the average shear modulus for larger Λ.

MEMS nickel material is commonly used for structural material in micro devices. In order to study the effect of environmental temperature on its mechanical properties,this paper has built up a experimental system which can measure the temperature-related static mechanical parameters of the UV-LIGA nickel material. By using the system for uniaxial tensile experiments of the micro specimen under different temperature, the stress-strain curves of the micro specimen under different temperature were obtained; the mechanical parameters of the micro specimen such as elastic modulus, yield stress and failure stress under different temperature were also calculated out;Finally, the relationship between temperature and mechanical parameters including elastic modulus, yield stress and failure stress was analyzed.
