Abstract: Metamaterials are man-made materials engineered to possess certain desired and often counterintuitive properties. It is well-known that elastic metamaterials may exhibit unusual bulk elastic properties when subject to ...

Abstract: Abstract In practice, bolts are commonly used to stabilize rock slopes. It is well recognized that anchor bolts may experience corrosion during their service life, thus leading to a reduction in anchoring effectiveness. ...

Abstract: Stretchable thin film materials have promising applications in many areas, including stretchable electronics, precision metrology, optical gratings, surface engineering, packaging, energy harvesting, and storage. They are ...

Abstract: Engineering living systems is a rapidly emerging discipline where the functional biohybrid robotics (or “Bio-bots”) are built by integrating of living cells with engineered scaffolds. Inspired by embryonic heart, we presented ...
