Bending and Force Recovery in Polymer Films and Microgel Formation
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
To determine correlation between geometry and material three different model films: polymethylsiloxane (PDMS), polystyrene (PS), and polycarbonate (PC), were singly bent and doubly bent (forming D-cones). Bends were chosen ...
Adhesion With Slender Structures: Tape Loops, Crumples, and Origami
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The desire for improved adhesive systems led us to examine three geometries: tape loops, crumples, and origami shapes. The tape loop is mechanically interesting because it is stable in more than one configuration. For ...
