Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

ANALYSIS OF DISC SPRING STIFFNESS DEGRADATION INDUCED BY FATIGUE DAMAGE

Jixie qiangdu
The disc spring will bear the cyclic displacement load during using, resulting in the fatigue damage and the stiffness degradation of the disc spring, which causes irreversible influence on the compensation function when accumulated sufficiently to cause

Numerical Implementation of a Critical State Model for Soft Rocks [PDF]

, 2018
This paper details the basic tasks for the numerical implementation of a simple elasto-plastic critical state model for bonded materials (i.e. soft rocks-hard soils) into the finite element program SNAC developed at the University of Newcastle in ...

Bioinspired Bromination Enables Extensible, Strain‐Stiffening Resilin Peptide Scaffolds with Tunable Degradation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired bromination of a resilin‐derived peptide enables the fabrication of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds that uniquely combine strain‐stiffening elasticity, proteolytic stability, and antioxidant functionality. These brominated peptide–gelatin hybrids mimic the extensibility of natural elastomers, demonstrating tunable mechanical resilience ...

Influences of fatigue stiffness degradation of in-service concrete T-beams on natural vibration frequency

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
In order to obtain the fatigue stiffness degradation law of in-service concrete T-beam and carry out fatigue life prediction, a dual-stage stiffness degradation model considering cracks was established for T-beams and formulas for calculating the ...

Constitutive model for bimodular elastic damage of concrete

Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures
An elastic damage model for concrete has been proposed considering damage-induced bimodularity. A scalar damage parameter has been chosen to quantify the damage. Expressions for the material compliance tensor components have been derived from the assumed

Damage accumulation and stiffness degradation in composite laminates

, 1999
In the presented thesis analytical modeling of elastic properties degradation and modeling of damage evolution in composite laminates is performed. Transverse cracking initiation on a fiber/matrix level is briefly studied by testing model composites and cross-ply laminates.

Polyetheretherketone as a Biomaterial for Spinal Applications [PDF]

, 2006
Threaded lumbar interbody spinal fusion devices (TIBFD) made from titanium have been reported to be 90% effective for single-level lumbar interbody fusion, although radiographic determination of fusion has been intensely debated in the literature.

Domain‐Wall‐Free Sliding Ferroelectricity in Fully Commensurate 3R Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Bilayers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
It is reported that the ferroelectric switching behavior of rhombohedral (3R) phase transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayers strongly depends on their domain structures. Single‐domain TMDs (SD‐TMDs) with domain‐wall‐free structures exhibit robust and stable polarization switching, whereas poly‐domain TMDs (PD‐TMDs) with randomly distributed ...
