OBJECTIVE: Many recent studies suggest that brain deformation resulting from head impacts are linked to the corresponding clinical outcome, such as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Even if several finite element (FE) head models have been develope...
Helical curling and spiral structure are very common in nature, which inspire researchers to create various forms of helical configurations and actuators. The helically deformable actuators perform asymmetric deformations and show different chirality...

Mechanobiology explores how forces regulate cell behaviors and what molecular machinery are responsible for the sensing, transduction, and modulation of mechanical cues. To this end, probing of cells cultured on planar substrates has served as a prim...
This study focuses on investigating and predicting two hidden structures: plant root system architecture and non-visible bubbles in plexiglass. Current approaches are damaging, expensive, or time-consuming. Infrared imaging was used to study the root...
A compliant three-dimensional (3D)-printed soft gripper is designed based on the bioinspired spiral spring in this study. The soft gripper is then 3D-printed using a suitable thermoplastic filament material to deliver the desired performance. The sen...
