A Constraint‐Based Analytical Framework for Design‐Space Analysis and Material Screening of Tubular Multilayer Dielectric Elastomer Pumps for Extracorporeal Circulatory Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A constraint‐based analytical framework maps the coupled effects of material properties, structural parameters, and operating conditions in tubular dielectric elastomer pumps for extracorporeal circulatory applications. The approach defines performance boundaries through mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic constraints and identifies feasible design ...

Liquid Metal Resistive Sensing Architectures for Measuring Diaphragm Strain Responses on Obstructed Surfaces

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
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 ...

Two‐Dimensional Isotropic Spatial Differentiation Through Complete Polarization Control

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work enables two‐dimensional isotropic spatial differentiation at planar interfaces over a wide range of incident angles by extending the output polarization from linear to elliptical. The choice of incident angle can be used to balance broader spectral response at low angles and higher edge‐detection efficiency at larger angles.

Scalable Design and Optimization of Reconfigurable Sb2S3 Metasurfaces

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Scalable optimization methodologies are developed for reconfigurable Sb2S3 Huygens metasurfaces by combining localized phase‐match and overlap‐integral cost functions that account for inter‐element coupling. The framework enables computationally efficient design of large‐area, dual‐state flat optical devices with arbitrary wavefront transformations ...

Elimination of Necking and Aspect Ratio Dependence in Uniaxial Actuators by Continuous Fiber Reinforcement

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel carbon fiber reinforcement for dielectric elastomer actuators enhances actuation force while decoupling electromechanical performance from the actuator's aspect ratio. Unlike conventional fiber reinforcements, it enables a uniform planar stretch state along the entire actuator.
