Summary The Weibull modulus of potato crisps is about 4, comparable with ceramic materials, with a characteristic strength of about 1.5 MPa. This combination of brittleness and weakness gives crispness. The critical stress intensity factor (KIC) and

A simple test from materials science, in which a notched beam is bent so that the notch increases in length due to the propagation of a crack, allows determination of a parameter called the Critical Stress Intensity Factor in Mode I fracture, KIC, by

Animals and plants have evolved a large variety of reliable and relatively simple mechanisms. Complexity is an emergent property. Using modern analytical techniques of molecular and materials science we can understand many of these mechanisms and inc

Biology contains many examples of deployable structures. They can be grouped as planar, cylindrical, stiff and compliant, and space frame combining both stiff and compliant elements (ten-segrity structures). Deployment occurs due to high strain elast

Adult Rhodnius prolixus Stal increase the volume of the abdomen when feeding by stretching the lateral abdominal pleat. This paper shows that the observed extension may be entirely accounted for by unfolding corrugations in the pleat.

Cleaving or riving of wood is an efficient method of cutting, but is usually restricted to veneer cutting or low-quality products such as fence-palings, due to the poor surface finish that occurs on thicker offcuts. If the release of strain energy du

Despite increasing interest in food texture and how it affects primate masticatory systems, little quantitative work has been done in this area. We discuss a method to quantify physical properties of primate food items. To demonstrate its utility, we

Summary A modification to the knife mounting of a histological microtome is described which can sense the load on the knife when a section is being cut. The performance of this microtome is described in general terms. The variation in force on the kn
