Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

Decoupling Dynamics and Crosslink Stability in Supramolecular Hydrogels Using Associative Exchange
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.How does reorganization impact the stability of supramolecular hydrogels? In contrast to dissociative crosslink exchange, implementing associative exchange in macroscale DNA hydrogels enables decoupling of reorganization dynamics from thermal and mechanical stability.

Design of anisotropic plates for improved damage tolerance [PDF]
An analytical study is presented showing the effects of the notch tip geometry on the location and direction of crack growth from an existing notch in a unidirectional fibrous composite modeled as a homogeneous, anisotropic, elastic material. Anisotropic

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Residual magnetization induces pronounced mechanical anisotropy in ultra‐soft magnetorheological elastomers, shaping deformation and actuation even without external magnetic fields. This study introduces a computational‐experimental framework integrating magneto‐mechanical coupling into topology optimization for designing soft magnetic actuators with ...

Learning the Buckled Geometry of 3D Printed Stiffeners of Pre-Stretched Soft Membranes
Engineering ProceedingsA deep learning strategy was exploited to learn and predict the deformation of stiffeners, 3D printed onto a pre-stretched soft membrane. The working process reads as follows: the membrane is stretched until a pre-defined level; a specific geometry of ...

Concepts for improving the damage tolerance of composite compression panels [PDF]
The residual strength of specimens with damage and the sensitivity to damage while subjected to an applied inplane compression load were determined for flatplate specimens and blade-stiffened panels. The results suggest that matrix materials that fail by

Rewriting Polymer Fate via Chemomechanical Coupling
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces a life‐like “living” polymer platform that can grow, degrow, and reprogram its properties after fabrication. By integrating mass transport, reversible polymerization, and controlled catalysis, the material achieves on‐demand changes in size, shape, and mechanical properties.

Photochemical Fuel Carrier Molecules for Robotic Embodied Energy
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We designed a novel fuel carrier photoresponsive molecule for on‐demand energy storage and release. Carrier molecules undergo bond scission under UV light to release chemical fuel and locally generate propulsive Marangoni flows. We demonstrate this photochemical embodied energy strategy in small‐scale robots and active matter systems, enabling ...

Influence of Ring Stiffeners on a Steel Cylindrical Shell
Acta Polytechnica, 2005 Shell structures are usually formed from concrete, steel and nowadays also from many others materials. Steel is typically used in the structures of chimneys, reservoirs, silos, pipelines, etc.
