Miniaturization of the architectures offers to exploit material strengthening size-effects occurring at the nanoscale.
A displacement based formulation is developed and inelastic redistribution is modeled through a distributed plasticity model exploiting material constitutive laws and numerical integration over the cross-sections.
In Part II, we exploit material and structural bend-twist couplings in the main spar to induce appropriate differential blade twist, section by section, while bending flap-wise.
For the purposes of the study, a two-surface shakedown-based technique is developed, exploiting material's hardening features, tailored to the stress resultant plasticity discipline using linearized forms of codified criteria.
Exploiting material properties at the nanoscale for environmental remediation, apart from contributing to the benefits of living in a cleaner world, has the potential to promote economic growth and innovation, while allowing a sustainable development of nanotechnologies.
But equally innate was a need to exploit materials of all kinds (including sand).
Much interest was generated by pieces produced using technological advances like rapid prototyping, which marries crazy computer models to smart factory machines and allows designers to exploit materials that were once difficult to tame.
The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) was conceived as a unified effort to capture, curate, and exploit materials structure/property information on a grand scale to enable rapid, cost-effective development of novel materials with predictable properties.
Exploiting materials from biological systems, or bio-inspiration, offers an alternative strategy to overcome the conventional energy storage mechanism through the chemical diversity, highly efficient biochemistry, sustainability, and natural abundance provided by these materials.
To meet market demands and low-cost production, the search for medicinal and aromatic plants as cost-effective sources of multifunctional phytochemicals is directed towards (1) exploiting materials with high content and rich composition, (2) deploying effective recovery processes and (3) ascertaining production of novel formulations without further generation of waste.
