Elastic–Plastic Modeling and Experimental Characterization of Granular Jamming Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Granular jamming enables rapid switching between soft and rigid mechanical states. Here, a reduced‐order elastic‐perfectly‐plastic beam framework captures pressure‐dependent loading, unloading, residual deformation, and hysteresis in jammed beams, while matching three‐point bending experiments across materials and geometries. The framework links design

Earthquakes as Probing Tools for Gravity Theories

open access: yesUniverse
We propose a novel method for testing gravity models using seismic waves’ velocities. By imposing observational constraints on Earth’s moment of inertia and mass, we rigorously limit the gravitational models’ parameters within a 2σ accuracy.

Modified Gravity and the origin of inertia [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2009
Abstract Modified gravity theory is known to violate Birkhoff's theorem. We explore a key consequence of this violation, the effect of distant matter in the Universe on the motion of test particles. We find that when a particle is accelerated, a force is experienced that is proportional to the particle's mass and acceleration and acts in

Consistent modified gravity: dark energy, acceleration and the absence of cosmic doomsday

open access: yes, 2005
We discuss modified gravity which includes negative and positive powers of curvature and provides gravitational dark energy. It is shown that in GR plus a term containing a negative power of curvature, cosmic speed-up may be achieved while the effective ...

Misinterpreting modified gravity as dark energy: a quantitative study

open access: yes, 2022
Standard cosmological data analyses typically constrain simple phenomenological dark-energy parameters, for example the present-day value of the equation of state parameter, w0, and its variation with scale factor, wa.

Programmable Soft Actuator with Multi‐Responsiveness Based on Conductive MOF‐Liquid Crystal Polymer Composite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A sequential dual‐alignment strategy independently programs the orientation of conductive metal‐organic framework (c‐MOF) microrods and liquid crystals within a composite film. This approach creates an asymmetric bilayer structure that enables precise, multi‐responsive actuation.

Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi static universe in Rastall-like gravity

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 2020
In this work, we try to obtain a stable Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) static universe, which is spherically symmetric and radially inhomogeneous. However, this is not an easy task, and fails in general relativity (GR) and various modified gravity theories,
