Mechanical Properties and Testing Strategies for Two‐Photon Lithography: A Review of Current Practices and Emerging Challenges

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Two‐photon lithography enables the fabrication of complex 3D microstructures with tunable mechanical properties spanning from soft hydrogels to rigid hybrid networks. This review summarizes how material composition, printing parameters, and post‐processing govern stiffness and viscoelasticity, highlighting advanced characterization methods and emerging

Design and Multibody Dynamics Modeling of a Novel High‐Static‐Low‐Dynamic‐Stiffness Vibration Isolation Mechanism Based on Euler Buckling Characteristics

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vibration isolation has long been a critical area of research, with the design of isolators based on the mechanical properties of Euler buckling beams representing one of the primary approaches. Traditionally, the focus has been on utilizing the negative stiffness characteristics of a post‐buckled Euler beam in parallel with positive stiffness

Twisted rods, helices and buckling solutions in three dimensions

, 2013
The study of slender elastic structures is an archetypical problem in continuum mechanics, dynamical systems and bifurcation theory, with a rich history dating back to Euler's seminal work in the 18th century. These filamentary elastic structures have widespread applications in engineering and biology, examples of which include cables, textile industry,

Conjugated Polymers Engineered for Flexible/Stretchable Electronics

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This review highlights glass transition temperature (Tg) as the central parameter linking molecular structure to device performance in conjugated polymers. By tuning backbone rigidity, side‐chain architecture, and dynamic bonding, Tg governs the balance between π–π stacking–enabled charge transport and mechanical compliance.

Performance enhancement of reinforced concrete columns using stainless steel and galvanized steel plates: Experimental and numerical investigation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces an innovative approach to strengthening defected reinforced concrete (RC) columns using externally bonded stainless steel and galvanized steel plates. Unlike conventional strengthening methods, this technique replaces traditional transverse stirrups with steel sheets, providing enhanced confinement and ductility.

Mixed Super‐Circles

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We introduce mixed super‐circles, a position‐curvature formulation of the original dynamic 2D super‐helix model. Compared to the latter, purely curvature‐based model – the so‐called chained formulation –, the mixed formulation that we propose here drastically reduces the algorithmic complexity of the solving scheme – from quadratic to quasi ...
