Shape recovery in a thermoset shape memory polymer and its fabric-reinforced composites

open access: yeseXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2011
A shape memory polymer (SMP) can be deformed from a permanent to a temporary shape above their transformation temperature. Upon reheating, the SMP spontaneously returns to the permanent shape.

Effect of R-phase on shape recovery speed of Ti-Ni shape memory alloy wire for variable-stiffness mechanism using jamming transition phenomenon

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal
The jamming transition phenomenon refers to the change in stiffness of a powder as its density changes. As a familiar example, vacuum-packed coffee grounds are hard, but when opened to allow air into the package and the density is reduced, the grounds ...

Carbon / Epoxy Resin Based Elastic Memory Composites

open access: yesEurasian Chemico-Technological Journal, 2012
Elastic memory composites were processed from shape memory epoxy resins and carbon fabric reinforcements. Three different types of epoxies (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A, tris(4-glycidyloxy phenyl)methane, and epoxy novolac) were used as matrices ...

Modelling the Nonlinear Response of Silicon Photomultipliers

open access: yes, 2019
A statistical model of the nonlinear response of silicon photomultipliers is presented. It includes losses of both the photodetection efficiency and the gain during pixel recovery periods as well as the effect of correlated and uncorrelated noise.

Research on the forming and demolding process of shape memory self-demolding mold

open access: yesAIP Advances
The molding method is highly anticipated in engineering fields and has been preliminarily applied. However, traditional demolding methods introduce subtle deviations in demolding direction, leading to demolding defects and reduced forming accuracy.
