Stretchable materials of high toughness and low hysteresis

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Many applications in engineering require stretchable materials that dissipate little energy during normal operation of cyclic loads (low hysteresis), but dissipate much energy to resist rupture (high toughness), and survive prolonged cyclic ...

Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

Steep-Slope and Hysteresis-Free MoS2 Negative-Capacitance Transistors Using Single HfZrAlO Layer as Gate Dielectric

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2022
An effective way to reduce the power consumption of an integrated circuit is to introduce negative capacitance (NC) into the gate stack. Usually, negative-capacitance field-effect transistors (NCFETs) use both a negative-capacitance layer and a positive ...

Simulation of I-V Hysteresis Branches in An Intrinsic Stack of Josephson Junctions in High $T_c$ Superconductors

open access: yes, 1999
I-V characteristics of the high T$_c$ superconductor Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_1$C$_2$O$_8$ shows a strong hysteresis, producing many branches. The origin of hysteresis jumps is studied by use of the model of multi-layered Josephson junctions proposed by one of ...

Near–hysteresis-free soft tactile electronic skins for wearables and reliable machine learning

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance We show a near–hysteresis-free piezoresistive sensor system from soft materials by using a method of generating unique three-dimensional nanoscale crack morphologies on metal-coated elastomeric microstructures. Our method addresses the major

Experimental Analysis and Physics‐Based Analytical Model on Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Twisted and coiled artificial muscles made from silver‐coated nylon fibers are investigated through experiments and analytical modeling. The actuators achieve contractions up to 19.3% and specific work of 8 kJ kg−1, though efficiency remains limited (≈0.15%) by thermal losses.

Prediction of Oil Recovery Factor in Stratified Reservoirs after Immiscible Water-Alternating Gas Injection Based on PSO-, GSA-, GWO-, and GA-LSSVM

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
In this study, we solve the challenge of predicting oil recovery factor (RF) in layered heterogeneous reservoirs after 1.5 pore volumes of water-, gas- or water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection.

Different pathways in mechanical unfolding/folding cycle of a single semiflexible polymer

open access: yes, 2005
Kinetics of conformational change of a semiflexible polymer under mechanical external field were investigated with Langevin dynamics simulations. It is found that a semiflexible polymer exhibits large hysteresis in mechanical folding/unfolding cycle even

Hysteresis and Business Cycles

open access: yesIMF Working Papers, 2020
Traditionally, economic growth and business cycles have been treated independently. However, the dependence of GDP levels on its history of shocks, what economists refer to as “hysteresis,” argues for unifying the analysis of growth and cycles.

Recent Advancements in Bulk Processing of Rare‐Earth‐Free Hard Magnetic Materials and Related Multiscale Simulations

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article provides an overview of recent advancements in bulk processing of rare‐earth‐free hard magnetic materials. It also addresses related simulation approaches at different scales. The research on rare‐earth‐free magnetic materials has increased significantly in recent years, driven by supply chain issues, environmental and social concerns, and
