The mechanics of biological contact are important in many natural processes, motivating extensive study of biological adhesive systems as well as attempts at biomimickry through …
Cell-matrix adhesion depends on the collective behavior of a large number of molecular bonds. While the behavior of a single molecular bond is governed by …
When deformed at elevated temperature and slow strain rates, some Al alloys exhibits superplasticity, the ability to sustain very large tensile elongations (sometimes over 1000%) …
High-temperature, pressure-shear plate impact experiments were conducted in order to measure the plastic response of high-purity aluminum at high strain rates (106 s-1) and at …
