Abstract: Chemically cross-linked thermoset shape memory polymers (TSMPs) are an important branch of smart materials due to their potentially wide applications in deplorable structures, soft robots, damage self-healing, and 4D ...

Abstract: The colddrawn, programmed shape memory polymer (SMP) fibers show excellent stress recovery property, which promotes their application as mechanical actuators in smart material systems. A full understanding of the ...

Abstract: The efficient maintenance and repair of asphalt pavements requires accurate prediction of their remaining service life. This study proposes a damage model for asphalt mixtures based on dissipated energy. Repeated indirect ...
