Mechanically Assisted Magnetic Actuation in Ceramic‐Based Microscrolls for Fast and Durable Soft Robotic Systems

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ceramic‐based V2O5/Fe3O4 hybrid films are shaped into butterfly‐proboscis‐inspired microscroll actuators. Magnetic triggering initiates unrolling, while geometry‐programmed elastic strain energy drives rapid recoil, enabling fast, reversible, durable, and load‐bearing actuation under near‐field magnetic stimulation.

Characteristic analysis of a quasi-zero-stiffness vibration isolator

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
The frequency range over which a linear passive vibration isolator is effective, is often limited by the stiffness required to support a static load. And this can be improved upon by employing nonlinear negative stiffness elements to get a low dynamic stiffness.

Elastomeric 3D‐Printed Microenvironments Enable Nanonewton Force Measurements in Healthy and Diseased Human Pluripotent Stem Cell‐Derived Neuroepithelial Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present elastomeric three‐dimensional (3D) microstructures fabricated via two‐photon polymerization (2PP) and post‐processed through wet etching, for quantifying nanonewton (nN)‐scale forces applied by healthy and diseased neural cells. The mechanically characterized free‐standing beam architectures enable measurement of traction forces of ...

Investigation on a quasi-zero-stiffness vibration isolator under random excitation

Journal of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2016
The dynamic response and isolation performance of a Quasi-Zero-Stiffness (QZS) vibration isolator using inclined springs as negative stiffness correctors under random excitation are presented in this paper. The probabilistic linearization method is employed to determine the dynamic response of the QZS vibration isolator and compared with the exact ...

Two‐Way Shape Memory Polymer Composite Gripper for Adaptive Robotic Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
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.
