Phase Engineering of Atomically Precise Nanoclusters (APNCs) of Gold and Beyond

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering the structural phase of materials is of paramount importance for both fundamental research and practical applications. In this Review, we summarize the recent progress in controlling the phases of atomically precise nanoclusters (APNCs) of gold, silver and copper, as well as bimetallic systems. The phase‐enabled material properties of APNCs

Active Damping Control for the Modular Multi-Active-Bridge Converter

open access: yesEnergies
The modular multi-active bridge (MMAB) converter—characterized by electrical isolation, modular design, high power density, and high efficiency—can be readily scaled to multiple DC ports through an internal shared high-frequency bus (HFB), establishing ...

Switchable Magnonic Crystals Based on Spin Crossover/CrSBr Heterostructures

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Multiscale modeling is employed to investigate the functionality of a light‐controlled, tunable magnonic crystal based on spin‐crossover Fe‐pz molecules integrated with a monolayer of CrSBr. Ab initio simulations confirm that the molecules remain functional on the CrSBr surface, while a semiclassical elastic model demonstrates that light‐induced ...

Performance Characteristics of Active Constrained Layer Damping

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 1995
Theoretical and experimental performance characteristics of the new class of actively controlled constrained layer damping (ACLD) are presented. The ACLD consists of a viscoelastic damping layer sandwiched between two layers of piezoelectric sensor and ...

Optimal design of structures with active constrained layer damping

open access: yes, 1995
A piezoelectric element and a constrained layer damping element are combined to allow for an active constrained layer damping treatment. The development of these elements are reviewed and results are compared with the literature to insure that the ...

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

A comparison of active, passive and hybrid damping treatments in structural design

open access: yes, 1996
The optimum design of structures are obtained for three different types of damping treatments, and the resulting designs are compared. The three types of damping treatments considered are constrained layer damping, active constrained layer damping, and ...
