Modulating Stiffness and Shape of a Soft, Textile‐Based Structure Through Glass Transition of a Conductive Phase‐Changing Polymer

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 11, June 5, 2025.
A variable stiffness structure with shape morphing and shape memory capabilities made from layered textiles and 3D printing material is developed. Direct printing of cPLA on textile electrodes maximizes the electrodes' contact area. This work presents a new method for achieving variable stiffness in small segments of soft, deformable structures, using ...

Structural transition in bidispersed electrorheological fluids [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2005
We present results from finite element calculations on electrorheological fluids consisting of bidispersed dielectric microspheres and nanoparticles suspended in liquid, with one type much smaller than the other. The face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure of the larger microspheres is shown to be the ground state when the volume concentration of the ...

On a nonhomogeneous quasilinear eigenvalue problem in Sobolev spaces with variable exponent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem $-{\rm div}(|\nabla u|^{p(x)-2}\nabla u)=\lambda |u|^{q(x)-2}u$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded open set in $\RR^N$ with smooth boundary and $p$, $q$ are continuous ...

Nanoparticle enhanced evaporation of liquids: A case study of silicone oil and water

open access: yes, 2012
Evaporation is a fundamental physical phenomenon, of which many challenging questions remain unanswered. Enhanced evaporation of liquids in some occasions is of enormous practical significance.

Towards spatially selective efferent neuromodulation: anatomical and functional organization of cardiac fibres in the porcine cervical vagus nerve

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 7, Page 1983-2004, 31 March 2025.
Abstract figure legend Functional, in vivo imaging was performed in pigs by means of selective vagus nerve stimulation with a multi‐electrode cuff in conjunction with physiological readouts of organ‐specific activity. These data were analysed and correlated to the electrode positions to determine the functional map. Subsequently, the pig was killed and

Many-body dipole-induced dipole model for electrorheological fluids

open access: yes, 2002
Theoretical investigations on electrorheological (ER) fluids usually rely on computer simulations. An initial approach for these studies would be the point-dipole (PD) approximation, which is known to err considerably when the particles approach and ...

On the Optimal Control of a Class of Non-Newtonian Fluids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We consider optimal control problems of systems governed by stationary, incompressible generalized Navier-Stokes equations with shear dependent viscosity in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional domain.

Effect of a Nonlinear Energy Sink on the Nonlinear Panel Flutter Suppression Under Variable Temperature Rise and Airflow Yawed Angle

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
This study investigates the nonlinear aeroelastic response behaviors and robustness of a square isotropic panel with a nonlinear energy sink (NES) considering temperature rise and airflow yawed angle. Considering uniform temperature rise, the nonlinear aerothermoelastic equations for a three‐dimensional (3D) isotropic panel with an NES were derived ...

Complex Fluids in Energy Dissipating Systems

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2016
The development of engineered systems for energy dissipation (or absorption) during impacts or vibrations is an increasing need in our society, mainly for human protection applications, but also for ensuring the right performance of different sort of ...

Electrical controlled rheology of a suspension of weakly conducting particles in dielectric liquid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The properties of suspensions of fine particles in dielectric liquid (electrorheological fluids) subjected to an electric field lead to a drastic change of the apparent viscosity of the fluid. For high applied fields (~ 3-5 kV/mm) the suspension congeals
