3D‐Printed Titanium Gyroid Scaffold Structure Integrated With Tough Hybrid Materials for Cartilage Replacement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a potential device design for joint cartilage replacement. Silica‐polytetrahydrofuran (SiO2‐PolyTHF) hybrids with customizable mechanical properties were developed to mimic the characteristics of a natural meniscus. These were synthesized through a two‐pot sol–gel hybrid process.

Minimal-surface-based multiphase metamaterials with highly variable stiffness

Materials & Design
Variable-stiffness materials have a unique ability to change their stiffness reversibly in response to external stimuli or conditions. However, achieving ultrahigh stiffness change is often constrained by the geometric organization of the microstructures

Elastic–Plastic Modeling and Experimental Characterization of Granular Jamming Actuators

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Granular jamming enables rapid switching between soft and rigid mechanical states. Here, a reduced‐order elastic‐perfectly‐plastic beam framework captures pressure‐dependent loading, unloading, residual deformation, and hysteresis in jammed beams, while matching three‐point bending experiments across materials and geometries. The framework links design

Control of a 3-DOF parallel wire driven stiffness-variable manipulator

, 2004
Parallel Wire Robot (PWR) is a bionic mechanism manipulator, whose flexibility of wires is similar to the compliance of human muscles. In this paper, a 3-dof Parallel Wire Driven (PWD) manipulator configuration is presented, and the modeling and the ...

Electrodeposition in Structural Lattices of Variable Architectures

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Electrodeposition enables geometry‐sensitive, autonomous void filling while simultaneously tuning chemical and mechanical properties. The development of approaches that can autonomously fill and heal material voids and yield composites with tailorable properties is increasingly relevant in engineering.

Thermal Cycle–Microstructure–Property Relationships in Rail Steel Heat‐Affected Zone Simulated by Gleeble

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Microstructural evolution of premium rail steel during flash butt welding (FBW), comparing physically simulated heat‐affected zones with actual weld regions. Thermal cycles induce phase transformations and microstructural heterogeneity that influence weld quality and mechanical performance. These findings provide insights into optimizing FBW parameters

Investigation of Resonance Characteristics of More Than 10 000 Metal‐Coated Silicon MEMS Cantilevers Using Machine Learning

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
More than 10 000 metal‐coated silicon MEMS cantilevers are fabricated and characterized to build a large‐scale experimental dataset spanning multiple vibrational modes. Machine learning algorithms are benchmarked to predict resonance frequency and quality factor, with ensemble based models achieving accuracy approaching experimental uncertainty.

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.
