Experimental Study on Flow Characteristics of Curved Channel in Small Width-depth Ratio Conditions

工程科学与技术, 2017
:The geometric parameter of width-depth ratio plays an important role in three-dimensional characteristics of water flow in curved channels.Considering that bends with small width-depth ratio (< 5) widely exist in mountain rivers and artificial channels,

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

Load Distributing Metamaterials Via Discrete Optimization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanical metamaterials are computationally optimized to homogenize transmitted forces by minimizing the spread of reaction forces. The resulting architectures transform localized loading into broader, more uniform force distributions and experimentally demonstrate robust load spreading under quasi‐static and impact loading.

Flexural analysis of deep beam subjected to parabolic load using refined shear deformation theory

Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2012
A trigonometric shear deformation theory for flexure of thick or deep beams, taking into account transverse shear deformation effects, is developed. The number of variables in the present theory is same as that in the first order shear deformation theory.

Programmable Soft Actuator with Multi‐Responsiveness Based on Conductive MOF‐Liquid Crystal Polymer Composite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A sequential dual‐alignment strategy independently programs the orientation of conductive metal‐organic framework (c‐MOF) microrods and liquid crystals within a composite film. This approach creates an asymmetric bilayer structure that enables precise, multi‐responsive actuation.

Preferential Interfacial Engineering of Hydrogels via Interdigitated Nanoparticle Assembly

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Robust surface functionalization of hydrogel surfaces is performed via interdigitated metal nanoparticle assembly, inducing strong affinity with the hydrogel matrix. The partially exposed nanoparticle domains act as interfacial nanobridges that mediate both chemical and physical bonding with diverse materials, including small molecules, fluorous ...

Shear Lag Effect Analysis of GFRP Composite Truss Web Girder Bridge

Buildings
To clarify the shear lag effect and flexural performance of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite truss web girder bridges and verify the feasibility of substituting steel truss webs with GFRP members, a refined finite element (FE) model was ...

Effects of pedicle subtraction osteotomy on aortic morphology and hemodynamics in ankylosing spondylitis with kyphosis: a finite element analysis study

Scientific Reports
Osteotomy can correct kyphosis, restore the spinal sequence, and restore the healthy appearance of a patient. However, the aorta is stretched during pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO), and some surgeons are concerned about aortic injury.

An Integrated Oxygen‐Supplying Device and Predictive Multiphysics Model for Extended Ambient Transport of Insulin‐Producing Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cell therapies typically rely on cold‐chain logistics and cryopreservation, limiting access and compromising cell quality. Here, a dual‐chamber device separates an oxygen‐supplying chamber from a hyaluronic acid cargo chamber, sustaining oxygen delivery for over 70 h and enabling ambient‐temperature shipment.
