Molecularly Dissipative Liquid Crystal Elastomer Foams for Impact and Vibration Attenuation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid crystal elastomer foams integrate cellular deformation with mesogen reorientation to create a dual‐scale energy dissipation mechanism. Progressive pore collapse absorbs mechanical loads, while stress‐induced mesogen reorientation provides additional damping, resulting in reduced impact transmission and broadband suppression of vibrational ...

A Fixed Point Theorem for Discontinuous Functions [PDF]

Operations Research Letters, 2005
In this paper we prove the following fixed point theorem. Consider a non-empty bounded polyhedron P and a function f from P to P such that for every x in P with f(x) not equal to x there is a ball in P around x such that the inner product of f(y)-y and f(z)-z is nonnegative for any two elements y and z in the ball. Then f has a fixed point.

Critical Coupling in Semi‐Trasparent Fano Resonators for Photothermal Converters

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An ultrathin metal–insulator multilayer architecture is engineered to exploit Fano‐resonant critical coupling, completely suppressing optical reflectance while achieving a balanced 50:50 trade‐off between absorbance and transmittance. Upon laser excitation at resonance, the metamaterial generates intense localized heat (ΔT≈550∘C$\Delta T {\approx }550^\

Generalized Caristi's Fixed Point Theorems

Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2009
We present generalized versions of Caristi's fixed point theorem for multivalued maps. Our results either improve or generalize the corresponding generalized Caristi's fixed point theorems due to Bae (2003), Suzuki (2005), Khamsi (2008), and others.

Some Krasnosel’skii-type fixed point theorems for Meir–Keeler-type mappings

Nonlinear Analysis, 2020
In this paper, inspired by the idea of Meir–Keeler contractive mappings, we introduce Meir–Keeler expansive mappings, say MKE, in order to obtain Krasnosel’skii-type fixed point theorems in Banach spaces. The idea of the paper is to combine the notion of

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Fixed Point and Common Fixed Point Theorems on Ordered Cone b-Metric Spaces

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2013
The concept of a cone b-metric space has been introduced recently as a generalization of a b-metric space and a cone metric space in 2011. The aim of this paper is to establish some fixed point and common fixed point theorems on ordered cone b-metric ...

Some Fixed Point Theorems in Fuzzy n-Normed Spaces [PDF]

, 2010
The main purpose of this paper is to study the existence of a fixed points in fuzzy n-normed spaces. we proved our main results, a fixed point theorem for a self mapping and a common fixed point theorem for a pair of weakly compatible mappings on fuzzy n-

Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator Matrix for Large Area Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A scalable approach is used to manufacture a digitally‐controllable, 2D 5 × 5 actuator matrix. The elements of the matrix are produced by direct ink writing of a liquid crystal elastomer ‘artificial muscle’ on large‐area flexible thin‐film heaters. In optimizing the low‐power actuators, multiple heater designs and substrate materials are investigated ...
