Programmable Reconfiguration of Hybrid 4D Chiral Metamaterials via Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A class of hybrid chiral mechanical metamaterials is designed to achieve programmable reconfiguration through soft networks, hinges, and bilayer joints integrated with rigid units. Responsive to mechanical and thermal stimuli, these structures exhibit large volume changes, tunable deformation pathways, and both positive and negative thermal expansion ...

Modelling Fluid Damping of Non-Conventional Vibration Modes in MEMS Resonators

open access: yesProceedings, 2018
Resonant micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) are typically subject to interaction with a liquid or gaseous environment. Recently, it has been demonstrated that non-conventional eigenmodes exhibit remarkably high quality factors (Q ...

Review of Electrohydraulic Actuators inspired by the HASEL Actuator

open access: yesBiomimetics
The muscle-like movement and speed of the electrohydraulic actuator have granted it much at-tention in soft robotics. Our aim is to review the advancements in electrohydraulic actuators in-spired by the Hydraulically Amplified Self-healing Electrostatic (HASEL) actuator.

3D‐Printable Near‐Infrared‐Responsive Microscale Cantilever made of the Composite Consisting of Ceramic Particles and Graphene Flakes

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A near infrared‐responsive microscale cantilever is developed using a 3D‐printable composite based on photocurable resin consisting of sepiolite and graphene flakes. The material absorbs 1064 nm light, causing shape transformation with an average displacement of 1.3 mm in 1.7 s. Displacement is measured via video recording.

Reliable H∞ control for discrete-time piecewise linear systems with infinite distributed delays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper, the reliable H∞ control problem is investigated for discrete-time piecewise linear systems with time delays and actuator failures. The time delays are assumed to be infinitely distributed in the discrete-time domain, and the possible ...

Multimode Adaptive Thermoregulation Enabled by Shape Morphing and Radiative Cooling Porous Polyurethane

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A shape‐morphing, porous polyurethane film combines passive radiative cooling with folding to deliver multilevel heating‐and‐cooling control. High solar reflectance and midinfrared emissivity keep surfaces up to 3.5 °C cooler in direct sunlight, while photothermal triggering folds the film to absorb solar heat.
