Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are able to achieve large deformation and high actuation force
when using a unimorph configuration and a silicon composite anode. Distribution of charge …

We consider the deformation of a thin elastic wire with circular cross section when the
distance of its two ends and its two end rotation angles are prescribed. The two ends are …

A self-powered, and self-actuating lithium ion battery (LIB) has the potential to achieve large
deformation while still maintaining actuation force. The energy storage capability allows for …

This paper aims to study the behavior of a variable-arc-length (VAL) elastica subjected to the
end loading, where a rotational spring joint is placed within the span length of the elastica …

Silicon composite anode-based lithium ion battery actuators have strong potential for large
actuation strain, complex shape change, and large compliance tunability. This allows for …

In this paper we study the static deformations and vibration frequencies of a clamped–
clamped spatial elastica. One clamp is fixed in space, and the other is attached to a slider …

The colonoscope is an important tool in diagnosis and management of diseases of the
colon. One of the ongoing challenges with this device is that the colonoscope may form a …

Lithium ion batteries (LIB) are able to achieve large deformation and high actuation force
when using a unimorph configuration and a silicon composite anode. Distribution of charge …

In this paper we study the deformation and vibration of a clamped–clamped spatial rod with
noncircular cross section. Focus is placed on the effect of the bending stiffness ratio in the …

Consider an initially straight rod of circular cross section bent into a circular ring so that the
cross sections of the two ends meet face to face. In this paper we study, theoretically and …
