Liquid Crystal Elastomers Under Confinement: A Review of Template‐Based Fabrication and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Template‐assisted confinement offers powerful ways to control the alignment, structure, and function of liquid crystal elastomers. This review highlights several templating strategies and details how geometry and interfaces shape material responses.

Decay results for viscoelastic diffusion equations in absence of instantaneous elasticity

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2012
We study the diffusion equation in the absence of instantaneous elasticity $$ u_t-int_0^{t}g(t-au )Delta u(au ),dau =0,quad (x,t)in Omega imes (0,+infty ), $$ where $Omega subset mathbb{R}^n$, subjected to nonlinear boundary conditions.

Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition restored endothelium-mediated relaxation in old obese Zucker rat mesenteric arteries

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2010
Metabolic syndrome is associated with reduced endothelial vasodilator function. It is also associated with the induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), which produces vasoactive prostanoids.

Investigating the Effects of Build Height on Mechanical Behavior of Large‐Scale Laser Wire Directed Energy Deposited Nickel Titanium Alloy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Laser wire directed energy deposition process was leveraged to fabricate large scale NiTi alloy wall. Evaluation of build‐height‐dependent tribo‐mechanical properties revealed significant differences in location specific sample characteristics. The middle region achieved optimal performance (superior wear resistance, balanced strength‐ductility ...

Rate of decay for solutions of viscoelastic evolution equations

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2013
In this article we consider a Cauchy problem of a nonlinear viscoelastic equation of order four. Under suitable conditions on the initial data and the relaxation function, we prove polynomial and logarithmic decay of solutions.

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.

A Positron Lifetime Study of Cooling and Natural Aging of Solutionized Aluminum Alloys

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The process during cooling of Al–Mg and Al–Mg–Si alloys from the solutionizing temperature down to 20 °C is interrupted. These states are analyzed with positron lifetime spectroscopy to trace the processes during cooling. In different temperature ranges, two stages of vacancy loss and solute clustering are identified.
