Experimental study of the effect of boundary conditions on the stability of a fiber in a soft gel

When a structural member, such as a column, beam, or plate, is compressed or is subjected to various kinds of loads, buckling, a mechanical process, takes place. Compressive stresses can cause a structural member to start bending or deforming, which can result in an unexpected and catastrophic...

Description
Summary:When a structural member, such as a column, beam, or plate, is compressed or is subjected to various kinds of loads, buckling, a mechanical process, takes place. Compressive stresses can cause a structural member to start bending or deforming, which can result in an unexpected and catastrophic failure. Numerous studies have been conducted on the buckling effects of tubular strings as well as solid objects and columns. It is a novel study strategy, though, to examine how boundary circumstances affect the stability of a fiber in a soft gel.
