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

Research on Damage Evolution Mechanism of Layered Rock Mass under Blasting Load
Rock mass consists of many discontinuities, such as faults, joints, etc., and layered joints are a common kind of rock mass structure. The joints affect the stress wave propagation, and blasting is an economical and efficient rock fragmentation method ...

Shear creep characteristics and constitutive model of hidden non-persistent joints
The joints control the boundary of the rock slope instability. A large number of joints in the natural world are not completely persistent, and are hidden inside the slope.

The Y supersaturation in the [Ba‐Cu(I/II)‐O] transient liquid composition is the driving force toward YBCO nucleation and growth in TLAG. Tuning the initial (Ba:Cu) molar ratio in the ink composition determines the YBCO epitaxial nucleation through supersaturation control.

Mechanisms of failure of jointed rock masses and the behaviour of steep slopes [PDF]
The geomorphological behaviour of steep jointed rock slopes has been studied using distinct element method computer models. In order to model steep slopes effectively, methodologies need to be combined from the studies of environmental modellers ...

Elastic moduli for fractured rock mass
The presence of joint discontinuities has long been recognized as an important factor influencing the mechanical behavior of rock masses. This paper proposes a stress-strain model for an assemblage of intact rock blocks separated by joint planes.

Research on direct shear behaviour and fracture patterns of 3D-printed complex jointed rock models
Geometry and mechanical characteristics of joints are key factors affecting the shear behaviors and fracture patterns of jointed rock mass. Using 3D printing technique, experimental jointed rock specimens containing rough joints with varied joint ...
