Breaking the Surface: Buoyant Metal–Polymer Open–Cell Hybrid Lattice Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Open‐cell metal–polymer lattice metamaterials that defy sinking. (a) Injection process of the polyurethane (PU) foam into the titanium (Ti‐6Al‐4V) hollow‐strut lattice creating the open‐cell Ti‐6Al‐4V+PU hybrid lattice, (b) flotation test of a hybrid lattice specimen, and (c) a digital representation and experimental validation of a marine buoy ...

Elasticity‐Driven Periodic Polarization Patterns in a Chiral Ferroelectric Nematic Fluid

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Chiral polar ferroelectric nematic fluids exhibit spontaneous formation of stripe, square, and hexagonal polarization textures under confinement. Controlled by thickness and anchoring, these patterns produce spatially modulated nonlinear optical responses.

Determination of melon seed physical parameters and calibration of discrete element simulation parameters.

PLoS ONE
To improve the accuracy of the Hami melon discrete element model, the parameters of the Hami melon seed discrete element model were calibrated by combining practical experiments and simulation tests. The basic physical parameters of Hami melon seeds were

Establishment and Parameter Calibration of a DEM-Based Contact Model for Leymus chinensis Seed–Straw Mixtures

Applied Sciences
The study of Leymus chinensis seed cleaning has been hindered by the lack of accurate discrete-element contact parameters for seed–straw interactions, thereby limiting, to some extent, the optimization of cleaning equipment.

Seamless Mechanical Programming Through Hybrid Epoxy–Acrylate Printing for Soft–Rigid Robots

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Hybrid epoxy‐acrylate printing enables seamless fabrication of soft–rigid robotic systems with covalently integrated interfaces and functionally graded mechanics. Grayscale exposure expands the accessible material space, enabling spatially programmed actuation through patterned stiffness while revealing the mechanics and durability of continuously ...

Equilibrium of a wood stack formed by close-packed cylindrical logs [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física
The static equilibrium of cylindrical wood pieces in a close-packed order is analyzed. By considering the coefficient of static friction μ L between two adjacent logs and the coefficient of static friction μ G between the logs and the ground, it ...
