Homogenized elastic stiffness of fin layer in tube-fin structures (Verification for bending loading)

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
The authors recently developed a homogenization method for fin layers in tube-fin structures composed of flat tubes and wavy fins. In this paper, the resulting, homogenized elastic stiffnesses of fin layers with designed and real shapes are applied to ...

Hybrid Metal–Carbon Ink for Printed Stretchable Temperature Sensors

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We prepare conductive inks for temperature sensing with silver flakes and carbon or graphite flakes in a silicone elastomer matrix. Silver dominates the temperature‐dependent conductivity, while the carbon filler network ensures the stability of the conductive pathways and retains function under strain.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Multimodal Soft Surgical Robots Enabled by Eco‐Degradable, Sterilizable Polymers and Transient Electronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A compostable PGS soft surgical robot with interchangeable modules integrates transient Mo tactile and Si thermal sensors for dual feedback. The device preserves its function after clinical‐grade sterilization, demonstrates stable actuation and cardiac tissue grasping with real‐time in vivo pulsatile monitoring, and biodegrades post‐use with soil‐safe,

Experimental investigation and numerical simulation of the effect of type of bending die on the quality of tube forming in rotary draw bending process

International Journal of Lightweight Materials and Manufacture
This study introduces a new rotary draw bending method that utilizes a variable curvature bending die. Unlike traditional methods that bend tubes with a fixed radius, this method gradually deforms the tube from a large to a small radius. The curvature of

FE modeling of a complete warm-bending process for optimal design of heating stages for the forming of large-diameter thin-walled Ti–6Al–4V tubes

Manufacturing Review, 2017
Warm rotary draw bending (WRDB) of large-diameter thin-walled (LDTW) Ti–6Al–4V tube is a multi-nonlinear thermo-mechanical coupled process. Due to the high-cost, energy-wasting and long-term, the traditional physical experiments based on “trial and error”

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.

Transfer Printing and Reconfiguration of Soft Electronics Using Digital Microfluidics and Laser Machining

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This paper presents a digital microfluidics‐based technique for transferring and reconfiguring soft nanomembranes. Laser‐machined nanothin membranes are picked up, transported, and aligned via tailored surface tension and the actuation of water droplets, enabling the development of flexible electronics, the integration of functional materials on 3D ...
