Liquid Metal Actuators: A Comparative Analysis of Surface Tension Controlled Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 4, 2024.
This review summarizes the operation and design principles of surface tension‐controlled actuation by liquid metals and discusses their performance and functionalities. Theoretical pathways toward higher performances, thanks to the unique scaling law of surface tension, are analyzed and compared to other popular soft actuators.

Well-posedness of weak solutions to electrorheological fluid equations with degeneracy on the boundary

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2017
In this article we study the electrorheological fluid equation $$ {u_t}= \hbox{div} ({\rho^\alpha}{| {\nabla u} |^{p(x) - 2}}\nabla u), $$ where $\rho (x) = \hbox{dist} (x,\partial \Omega )$ is the distance from the boundary, $p(x)\in C^{1 ...

Reversed Currents in Charged Liquid Bridges

open access: yes, 2017
The velocity profile in a water bridge is reanalyzed. Assuming hypothetically that the bulk charge has a radial distribution, a surface potential is formed that is analogous to the Zeta potential.

Robustness Evaluation of Negative Stiffness Damper for Cable Vibration Mitigation Based on Interval Model with Experimental Validation

open access: yesStructural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The negative stiffness damper (NSD) has emerged as a promising passive vibration control device for cable structures due to its simplicity and effectiveness. However, uncertainties stemming from both internal and external environmental factors can potentially compromise the NSD’s performance in real‐world applications, posing risks to cable safety.

Field-induced structure transformation in electrorheological solids

open access: yes, 2001
We have computed the local electric field in a body-centered tetragonal (BCT) lattice of point dipoles via the Ewald-Kornfeld formulation, in an attempt to examine the effects of a structure transformation on the local field strength.

Vibration Damping of a New Ionic Liquid under Electric Field Effect

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2005
Ionic liquids are recently-developed smart materials that are not well known by mechanical engineers. They are of great interest due to their non-volatility, viscosity and extremely high electrical conductivity.
