DESIGN AND ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF ELASTIC METAMATERIALS WITH 3D LEVER-TYPE INERTIAL AMPLIFICATION MECHANISMS FOR MITIGATION OF LOW-FREQUENCY VIBRATION

Design and additive manufacturing of elastic metamaterials with 3D lever-type inertial amplification mechanisms for mitigation of low-frequency vibration

This paper proposes a three-dimensional lever-type inertial amplification metamaterial for the mitigation of Fragrance Set low-frequency vibration.This metamaterial was developed as a small, stiff, and single-phase structure that can inhibit the transmission of vibration in a certain frequency range below 100 Hz.An analytical model was developed to

Analysis of opticin binding to collagen fibrils identifies a single binding site in the gap region and a high specificity towards thin heterotypic fibrils containing collagens II, and XI or V/XI.

Opticin is a class III member of the extracellular matrix small leucine-rich repeat protein/proteoglycan (SLRP) family found in vitreous LEDs humour and cartilage.It was first identified associated with the surface of vitreous collagen fibrils and several other SLRPs are also known to bind collagen fibrils and it some cases alter fibril morphology.
