Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator Matrix for Large Area Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A scalable approach is used to manufacture a digitally‐controllable, 2D 5 × 5 actuator matrix. The elements of the matrix are produced by direct ink writing of a liquid crystal elastomer ‘artificial muscle’ on large‐area flexible thin‐film heaters. In optimizing the low‐power actuators, multiple heater designs and substrate materials are investigated ...

Dynamics of a predator–prey system with three species

Boundary Value Problems, 2018
This paper is concerned with the dynamics of a predator–prey system with three species. When the domain is bounded, the global stability of positive steady state is established by contracting rectangles.

Backpropagation Through Soft Body: Investigating Information Processing in Brain–Body Coupling Systems

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.

Minimal wave speeds of delayed dispersal predator-prey systems with stage structure

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2016
This article concerns the minimal wave speed of delayed predator-prey systems with nonlocal dispersal and stage structure. By the method of upper and lower solutions, we prove the existence of positive traveling wave solutions.

Physics‐Constrained Constitutive Learning of Rate‐Limiting Timescales for Efficient Hydrogen‐Based Direct Reduction for Green Steel Making

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A conversion‐resolved constitutive framework is developed for the hydrogen‐based direct reduction of iron oxide pellets. Effective reaction and transport timescales are inferred directly from measured trajectories and mapped against operating conditions, pellet architecture, and composition. The analysis reveals how late‐stage transport control emerges

Minimal wave speed in a dispersal predator–prey system with delays

Boundary Value Problems, 2018
This paper is concerned with the minimal wave speed in a nonlocal dispersal predator–prey system with delays. We define a threshold. By presenting the existence and nonexistence of traveling wave solutions, we confirm that the threshold is the minimal ...

From Flow to Function: Using Different Static Mixers to Fabricate Microarchitected Materials Via Chaotic Printing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Complex microarchitectures emerge from simple flow‐driven transformations as static mixers iteratively reorient and split material domains. Coupled with diverse deposition strategies, chaotic printing provides an accessible platform for fabricating architected materials that support biologically and chemically relevant processes. ABSTRACT Nature builds
