Stress‐guided photo‐programming of cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers for 2D‐to‐3D shape–color information encoding

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
We reported a stress‐guided photo‐programming strategy that enables cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs) to achieve synchronous 3D shape morphing and structural color evolution from a single 2D film. Abstract Flexible materials with dynamic structural colors have attracted considerable interest for multilevel information interaction, showing ...

Flattening Energy Puddles for Enhanced Charge Transport in Wrinkled WSe2

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Strain‐inducing wrinkles in 1L‐WSe2 create carrier‐trapping energy puddles. Trioctylphosphine selenide (TOPSe) selectively passivates Se vacancies at these wrinkle sites, while steric hindrance suppresses basal‐plane reaction. Comprehensive suite of space‐resolved spectroscopic techniques reveals reduced nonradiative recombination, longer exciton ...

Determination of Mechanical Moduli of Polymeric Materials by Biaxial Tensile Testing

open access: yesJournal of the Society of Materials Science, Japan, 1969
Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus are two important material constants for isotropic elastic materials, but there are usually very difficult problems regarding Poisson's ratio since high accuracy is required for its measurement. And also, for orthotropic elastic materials it is required that these material constants will be determined in line with ...

Performance analysis of strengthening reinforced concrete beams under pure torsion using galvanized steel sheets: Experimental and numerical investigation

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be subjected to torsion, and failure due to torsion is brittle and poses a significant risk to occupants. Moreover, strengthening of existing RC beams in torsion may be required due to the upgrade of the structures or as part of structural rehabilitation.

A new smooth failure criterion for concrete inspired by Lubliner's condition

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract A new failure criterion with 10 parameters is proposed, based on Lubliner's idea of joining two Drucker–Prager cones. The novelty lies in the way of introducing deviatoric shape variation: through two Podgórski's functions. This feature allows for improving plane stress cross‐section's compatibility with experimental data.

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Viscoelastic Properties of Porcine Pericardium Under Biaxial Tensile Creep and Stress Relaxation: Application for Novel Aortic Valve Bioprosthesis Design

open access: yesBioengineering
To design novel heart valve bioprostheses, it is extremely important to predict leaflet failure and fatigue for 10–20 years, as the aortic valve opens and closes approximately 40 million times per year.
