Hybrid Auxetic Architectures: Integrating Curvature‐Driven Design for Enhanced Mechanical Tunability and Structural Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Curvature‐tuned auxetic lattices are designed, fabricated, and mechanically characterized to reveal how geometric curvature governs stretchability, stress redistribution, and Poisson's ratio evolution. Photoelastic experiments visualize stress pathways, while hyperelastic simulations quantify deformation mechanics.

Designing redundant metering valves for hydraulic actuators under mixability and low cost-constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This article deals with the design of redundant metering valves for mechanically signalled hydraulic actuators. The final aim of the work is to manufacture a new low-cost valve in replacement of the existing expensive valve with an additional leakage ...

Inflammatory Response‐Inspired Thermochromic Shield for Pneumatic Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A thermochromic shield for pneumatic structures is developed, using anhydrous sodium acetate powder and thermochromic pigment‐included solution. In this shield composed of three layers, the exothermic and thermochromic reactions, followed by the mixture of both components, occur promptly with an incident of penetrating damage as a sign of initial ...

A Novel Bi-Stable MEMS Membrane Concept Based on a Piezoelectric Thin Film Actuator for Integrated Switching

open access: yesProceedings, 2019
This study reports on a novel bi-stable actuator with an integrated aluminum nitride (AlN) piezoelectric layer sandwiched between two electrodes. To achieve bistability, the membranes must exceed a characteristic compressive stress value, also called the

Highly Dynamic Shape Memory Alloy Actuator for Fast Moving Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Materials & Technologies, 2019
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are popular as actuators for soft bioinspired robots because they are naturally compliant, have high work density, and can be operated using miniaturized on‐board electronics for power and control.

Micropatterned Biphasic Printed Electrodes for High‐Fidelity on‐Skin Bioelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Micropatterned biphasic printed electrodes achieve unprecedented skin conformity and low impedance by combining liquid‐metal droplets with microstructured 3D lattices. This scalable approach enables high‐fidelity detection of ECG, EMG, and EEG signals, including alpha rhythms from the forehead, with long‐term comfort and stability.

Printed Integrated Logic Circuits Based on Chitosan‐Gated Organic Transistors for Future Edible Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...
