A liquid metal‐based strain‐sensing architecture to measure the deformation of a circular diaphragm against obstructed surfaces is formulated using finite element modeling and confocal imaging to establish the mechanical framework and is utilized to control diaphragm‐induced confinement on a bead array, as validated by biomolecular loading level ...

Microscale 3D‐Printed Digital Strain Switches for Embedded Mechanical Computation
Microscale 3D‐printed strain switches on flexible films convert deformation into native digital signals at geometry defined thresholds. A closed form model predicts switching from 3000 to 15 000 microstrain and is validated across 110 devices. Reliable ohmic closure and strain activated AND, OR, and XOR logic point toward low‐power mechanical ...

Angled Nozzle Aerosol Jet Printing to Streamline Conformal Patterning of Electronics
A modular, angled aerosol jet printhead is demonstrated to streamline patterning on nonplanar surfaces, including 90° step edges and confined internal geometries. A detailed analysis of gravitational settling for a sheathed aerosol flow and deconvolution of oblique deposition and gravitational effects supports the versatility of this approach for ...

Improving DoD acquisitions through performance based contracting
Performance Based Contracting (PBC) has been widely used commercially to achieve greater cost savings, remove contractual risk and improve performance outcomes. The U.S. DoD relies on military simulators for meeting training objectives.

Hyperuniform Disorder in Photonic Crystal Slabs With Intrinsic Non‐Hermiticity
Light propagation in photonic crystal slabs with imposed hyperuniform disorder is investigated theoretically and numerically. The hyperuniform disorder is imposed by varying the hole size. The photonic crystal is intrinsically non‐Hermitian due to radiative loss, with non‐Hermiticity appearing as a complex effective mass of a quadratic photonic band ...

Numerical Modeling of Photothermal Self‐Excited Composite Oscillators
We present a numerical framework for simulating photothermal self‐excited oscillations. The driving mechanism is elucidated by highlighting the roles of inertia and overshoot, as well as the phase lag between the thermal moment and the oscillation angle, which together construct the feedback loop between the system state and the environmental stimulus.
