Residual magnetization induces pronounced mechanical anisotropy in ultra‐soft magnetorheological elastomers, shaping deformation and actuation even without external magnetic fields. This study introduces a computational‐experimental framework integrating magneto‐mechanical coupling into topology optimization for designing soft magnetic actuators with ...

Distributed Plasticity Analysis of Frame Structures in Rate Form [PDF]
Distributed plasticity beam column elements are able to efficiently track hysteretic nonlinear behavior of structures under static or dynamic loading. This is accomplished by a refined discretization of the element in control sections along its length ...

Norbornene‐based copolymers with tunable n‐alkyl pendant length provide control over matrix free volume, enabling elastomeric materials via frontal ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP). ABSTRACT Frontal ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP) enables rapid, energy‐efficient access to high‐performance thermosets and thermoplastics, but ...

Emergent Freestanding Complex Oxide Membranes for Multifunctional Applications
This review surveys freestanding oxide membranes and covers fabrication and three pathways for studies and devices: strain‐free and strained membranes, and van der Waals‐integrated heterostructures. We show how coupled oxide responses map onto these routes and cross‐couple to expand behaviors.

Tunable Sensitivity in PAN/CNF/PEDOT:PSS Nanofiber‐Based Piezocapacitive Sensors
This study demonstrates highly tunable, flexible pressure sensors made from a nanofibrous composite of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and carbon nanofibers (CNF) or poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). By adjusting filler type, concentration, and mat thickness, the sensors achieve large sensitivity improvements, stable ...

Two‐Way Shape Memory Polymer Composite Gripper for Adaptive Robotic Applications
A two‐way shape memory polymer (SMP) composite is developed with intrinsic shape‐changing capability driven solely by temperature, eliminating external actuation loads. Embedding the SMP in a low‐stiffness elastomeric matrix enabled reversible transformations during heating and cooling cycles.
