Abstract: Surface wrinkles have emerged as a promising avenue for the development of smart adhesives with dynamically tunable adhesion, finding applications in diverse fields, such as soft robots and medical devices. Despite intensive ...

Abstract: Wrinkles are widely found in natural and engineering structures, ranging from skins to stretchable electronics. However, it is nontrivial to predict wrinkles, especially for complicated structures, such as multilayer or ...

Abstract: The low fracture toughness of graphene has raised sharp questions about its strength in the presence of cracklike flaws. Here, we discuss a number of recent studies that suggest some promising routes as well as open questions ...

Abstract: Research into reduced-order models (ROM) for Lithium-ion batteries is motivated by the need for a real-time embedded model possessing the accuracy of physics-based models, while retaining computational simplicity comparable ...

Abstract: Long-distance transport of a nanoparticle on a solid surface remains a challenge in nanotechnology. Here, we design a nanoscale motor device for continuously transporting a nanoparticle on a beam surface. The device is ...

Abstract: Mechanochemically responsive (MCR) polymers have been designed to possess unconventional properties such as changing colors, selfhealing, and releasing catalysts under deformation. These properties of MCR polymers stem ...

Abstract: Wrinkles in layered neo-Hookean structures were recently formulated as a Hamiltonian system by taking the thickness direction as a pseudo-time variable. This enabled an efficient and accurate numerical method to solve the ...

Abstract: Uneven distribution of machining-induced residual stresses (MIRS) caused by dynamic cutting conditions and material internal properties has a significant impact on fatigue resistance, stress corrosion resistance, and ...
