Biologically inspired droplet interface bilayers have found applications in the development of hair cell sensors and other mechanotransduction applications. In this research, the flexoelectric capability of the droplet bilayers under external excitation is explored for energy harvesting. Traditionally, membrane capacitance models are being used for inferring the magnitude of the membrane deflection which do not account for the relation between the applied force or deflection and the deflection of the interfacial membrane and time dependent variations. In this work, the dynamic behavior of the droplets under external excitation has been modeled using nonlinear finite element analysis. A flexoelectric model including mechanical, electrical, and chemical sensitivities has been developed and coupled with the calculated bilayer deformations to predict the mechanotransductive response of the droplets under excitation. Using the developed framework, the possibilities of energy harvesting for different droplet configurations have been investigated and reported.

This paper discusses the behaviour of hollow tubes with axisymmetric internal projections subjected to combined axial and internal pressure loading. Predictions from an extensive elastic and elastic-plastic finite element analysis are presented for a typical geometry and a range of loading combinations, using a simplified bilinear elastic-perfectly plastic material model. The axial loading case, previously analysed, is extended to cover the additional effect of internal pressure. All the predicted stress and strain data are found to depend on the applied loading conditions. The results are normalized with respect to material properties and can therefore be applied to geometrically similar components made from other materials, which can be represented by the same material models.

In this paper ,it analyses the push-extend multi-under-reamed pile in use of elastic-plastic theory by the software ANSYS.It takes four push-extend multi-under-reamed piles which are the same except plates' distance.It introduces the realative theory to make the anlysis much more accuracy.The results which is taken by ANSYS are researched to find out the regularity and can certain the reasonable plate's distance to anlyze the bearing capacity of push-extend multi-under-reamed pile at the same time.
