Soft Mechanical‐Electrical Logic Using Liquid Metal‐Filled 3D‐Printed Architectures
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.We present 3D‐printed soft mechanical–electrical logic elements that use liquid metal–filled silicone tubes actuated by thermoplastic polyurethane/polylactic acid (TPU/PLA) architectures to produce Boolean operations. Complementary normally open and normally closed unit cells perform repeatable binary transitions and can be combined into more complex ...

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF A SHEAR WALL WITH CONCRETE-FILLED STEEL TUBULAR FRAMES AND SLITS [PDF]
Civil Engineering Journal, 2018 This paper proposes a new type of composite shear wall with concrete-filled steel tubular frames and artificial vertical slits. The seismic behaviour of this new shear wall is studied by using a cyclic loading test.

From Shear to Sound: Mechanics–Acoustics Mapping of TPMS Lattices
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattices are mapped across mechanical and acoustic performance, revealing that descriptors validated in compression fail under shear. First‐time comparison with trusses included. A transition from porous to resonance‐driven absorption emerges at 25% density.

VIBRATION AND BUCKLING OF COMPOSITE THIN-WALLED BEAMS WITH SHEAR DEFORMABILITY
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 2002 In this paper, a theoretical model is developed for the dynamic analysis of composite thin-walled beams with open or closed cross-sections. The present model incorporates, in a full form, the shear flexibility (bending and warping shear) as well as a state of initial stresses.

Influence of Geometric Design on Mechanical Performance of Auxetic Metastructure
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Strategic geometric reinforcement transforms auxetic performance. This study evaluates 3D‐printed arrowhead metastructures, revealing that a modified design with local ring reinforcement suppresses premature failure to achieve superior energy absorption and structural efficiency.
