Characterized Ecoflex Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Hybrids for Advanced Flexible Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Ecoflex–PDMS hybrids are systematically characterized to identify an optimal composition that balances stretchability, optical transparency, and plasma bonding, enabling multifunctional applications in stretchable microfluidics, flexible sensing, and soft robotics.

A Constraint‐Based Analytical Framework for Design‐Space Analysis and Material Screening of Tubular Multilayer Dielectric Elastomer Pumps for Extracorporeal Circulatory Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A constraint‐based analytical framework maps the coupled effects of material properties, structural parameters, and operating conditions in tubular dielectric elastomer pumps for extracorporeal circulatory applications. The approach defines performance boundaries through mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic constraints and identifies feasible design ...

Elimination of Necking and Aspect Ratio Dependence in Uniaxial Actuators by Continuous Fiber Reinforcement

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel carbon fiber reinforcement for dielectric elastomer actuators enhances actuation force while decoupling electromechanical performance from the actuator's aspect ratio. Unlike conventional fiber reinforcements, it enables a uniform planar stretch state along the entire actuator.

Evaluation of Micro-damage of Concrete Specimens under Cyclic Uniaxial Loading by X-ray CT Method [PDF]

open access: yes
application/pdf論文(Article)The X-ray CT method was applied to evaluate micro-damage – namely, deterioration of concrete specimens under cyclic uniaxial loading tests. The μ-focus X-ray CT scanner was used. Concrete cylinders with a diameter of 50 mm and a

Piezoresistivity Enhancement by Graphite Flake Alignment in Thin Composite Films for Dielectric Elastomer Switches

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.

Investigating the damage mechanisms and their effects on the notch sensitivities of crossply cfrp laminates under uniaxial loading

open access: yes, 2014
Experiments have been performed to investigate the damage mechanisms and failure modes of crossply CFRP laminates under pure tensile and pure compressive loading. Unnotched and notched crossply laminates were tested.
