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 ...

From Molecular Insight to Mesoscale Membrane Remodeling: Curvature Generation by Arginine‐Rich Cell‐Penetrating Peptides

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
Cell‐penetrating peptides are a widely‐used drug delivery platform. So far, there is a lack of quantitative understanding of the mechanisms that drive their efficiency. We introduce an integrative modeling approach combining molecular dynamics and continuum modeling, and apply it to show how the binding of cell‐penetrating peptides leads to membrane ...

Modeling the response of UHPC shear‐critical beams: Integrating nonlinear finite element analysis and artificial neural network

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract An analytical framework suited for the analysis of shear‐critical ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) members is presented. The numerical methodology utilizes a nonlinear finite element analysis formulation integrated with an artificial neural network (ANN) that characterizes the UHPC tension response based on its mix design. In addition, a

Assessment of shear reinforcement enhancement on the punching shear capacity of flat concrete slabs with openings

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Reinforced concrete flat slabs are widely employed in contemporary architecture due to their structural efficiency and construction simplicity; however, their susceptibility to punching shear failure remains a critical design concern, particularly at slab–column connections where concentrated loads occur.

Numerical analysis of the effects of corrosion on the punching shear capacity of reinforced concrete flat slabs with openings

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The reinforcement corrosion is one of the main degradation mechanisms in reinforced concrete structures. Its effects can harm structural elements by reducing mechanical capacity, mainly due to diminished reinforcement properties and expansive reactions within the concrete.

Flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular beams with wood chip aggregate

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular (CFST) beams with partial replacement of aggregates by wood chips (0%–25%) through experimental and numerical analysis. This study is novel in that it experimentally and numerically investigates the flexural behavior of CFST beams with partial replacement of ...

Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...
