Digital Actuation Control of Soft Robotic Origami With Self‐Folding Liquid Crystal Elastomer Hinges

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐folding soft‐rigid hybrid robotic origami is enabled by liquid crystal elastomer actuators with embedded Joule heating and closed‐loop digital control. Digitally addressable hinges provide reversible and programmable transitions between distinct folded states while maintaining actuation performance at high cycle counts (over 1500).

Shear capacity of circular concrete sections

, 2019
The introduction of the Eurocodes for Concrete design will alter the way that shear design is approached for concrete structures. The Eurocodes have adopted the variable angle truss model for shear, a more theoretically consistent approach than that found in the British Standards.

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.

Experimental study on the punching–shear performance of reinforced concrete slab‒column joints with various reinforcements and openings

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
To elucidate the punching–shear failure mechanism and effect pattern of reinforced concrete (RC) slab–column joints with stirrups and/or openings, punching–shear failure tests were systematically conducted on 11 RC slab–column joint specimens to study ...

From Food to Power: Hydrogel Thermoelectrics for Ingestible Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a fully edible thermoelectric–electrochromic platform that harvests heat from food and converts it into a visible color change. N‐type and p‐type hydrogel thermoelectric generators connected in series power anthocyanin‐based electrochromic displays, demonstrating the feasibility of safe, biodegradable, ingestible systems for on‐food ...

Sustainable Catalyst‐Free PLG Networks: Recyclability, Biodegradability, and Functional Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A catalyst‐additive free covalent adaptable network is developed from star‐shaped poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) cross‐linked with pyromellitic dianhydride, enabling internal carboxylic acid‐driven transesterification. The resulting biodegradable network exhibits mechanical robustness (Young's modulus ≈1.6 GPa), complete recyclability, rapid biodegradation

High‐Resolution and Real‐Time In Situ Generation of Cellular Spheroids by Laser‐Assisted Bioprinting for Guided Microvascularization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Micro‐injection laser‐assisted bioprinting enables ultrafast and precise patterning of small endothelial cell spheroids by injecting a highly concentrated single‐cell suspension into GelMA/ColMA hydrogels. In co‐culture with fibroblasts, controlled pre‐vasculogenic network formation is obtained at microscale resolution.

Shear bearing capacity calculation of low-rise SFRC shear wall with CFST columns based on simplified softened strut and tie model

Frontiers in Materials
In the paper, an innovative shear wall, which is referred to as steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) shear wall with concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns, is introduced, based on the high bearing capacity and large stiffness of concrete filled ...
