Review of Thermally Activated Twisted Coiled Polymer Actuators: A Materials Science Perspective

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thermally activated twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCPAs) combine lightweight design, large deformation, and scalable fabrication for soft robotic and wearable applications. This review connects polymer structure, processing history, helix geometry, and thermomechanical characterization to actuator performance, highlighting current challenges in

Shaping Matter with Acoustic Waves: From Particles to Functional Structures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Acoustic‐directed assembly is reviewed as a materials‐oriented strategy for organizing particles, polymers, metals, and biological systems into functional structures. The review distinguishes reversible manipulation from permanent structure formation through medium fixation, particle fixation, and in situ material generation, highlighting routes toward

Giant Magnetic Coercivity Driven by Spin‐Bag Ferromagnetism in Epitaxial Sr3YCo4O10+δ Films with Engineered 2D Oxygen Vacancy Ordering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A giant magnetic coercivity and a vertical shift of hysteresis loops are demonstrated in Sr3YCo4O10+δ epitaxial films. The hard magnetic behavior originates from ferromagnetic spin bags stabilized within a long‐range ordered oxygen‐vacancy structure.

One-dimensional large strain thaw consolidation using nonlinear effective stress–void ratio–hydraulic conductivity relationships

, 2017
A one-dimensional model for the consolidation of thawing soils is formulated in terms of large strain consolidation and heat transfer equations. The model integrates heat transfer due to conduction, phase change and advection.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

PINN-based approach to the nonlinear large-strain consolidation under time-dependent drainage boundary

The theory of large-strain consolidation of high compressibility soft soil under time-dependent drainage at the boundaries involves complex material and geometric nonlinearities. Existing analytical solutions are applicable to specific working conditions

A consolidation model for a creeping clay

, 1999
A nonlinear theory of consolidation is presented which takes into account secondary compression. The theory is incorporated into a weak form of equilibrium that is suitable for a finite element procedure.

Modelling the consolidation of partially impregnated prepregs

, 2009
A finite element model is developed to solve consolidation problems for composites manufacturing. The model is developed from a generic two-phase continuum theory allowing for coupling between the solid and fluid responses.
