These effects have been shown to enhance the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the alloys. Therefore, the study of Mg–Dy intermetallic phases is regarded as significantly important. These phases are considered to hold great potential effects on the properties of Mg–Dy alloys for various applications, thereby making their investigation essential in the academic and scientific domains. In this study, the energy, density of states, optical properties and elastic properties of the Mg<sub>1</sub>Dy<sub>1</sub>, Mg<sub>2</sub>Dy, Mg<sub>3</sub>Dy, and Mg<sub>24</sub>Dy<sub>5</sub> intermetallic phases were calculated using first principles calculations. Based on the calculated formation enthalpy (derived from the energy) and density of states, it is suggested that the Mg<sub>1</sub>Dy<sub>1</sub> phase exhibits greater stability compared to the other three Mg–Dy intermetallic phases. The calculated formation enthalpy results indicate that all four Mg–Dy phases are stable, while the band structure and density of states plots show metallic characteristics for these phases. The optical properties of the intermetallic phases were investigated, and the static dielectric constants for Mg<sub>1</sub>Dy<sub>1</sub>, Mg<sub>2</sub>Dy, Mg<sub>3</sub>Dy, and Mg<sub>24</sub>Dy<sub>5</sub> were calculated to be 266.47 eV, 285.80 eV, 257.75 eV, and 373.98 eV, respectively. In addition, concerning the study of absorption spectra, the maximum values of the absorption coefficients for all four intermetallic phases occur within the energy range of 40–65 eV for incident light. Born-Huang's mechanical stability theory was employed to calculate the elastic constants of each Mg–Dy phase, and the bulk modulus (<em>B</em>), shear modulus (<em>G</em>), Young's modulus (<em>E</em>), Poisson's ratio (<em>υ</em>), and theoretical hardness (<em>H</em><sub><em>V</em></sub>) were derived. The results of the elastic modulus calculations indicate that the <em>B</em>, <em>G</em>, <em>E, υ</em>, <em>H</em><sub><em>V</em></sub> of the Mg<sub>1</sub>Dy<sub>1</sub> phase are higher than those of the other Mg–Dy intermetallic phases. The Poisson's ratio (<em>υ</em>) and the ratio of bulk modulus to shear modulus (<em>B</em>/<em>G</em>) indicate that the Mg<sub>24</sub>Dy<sub>5</sub> phase is ductile, while the other three phases are brittle. Finally, the universal anisotropy (<em>A</em><sup><em>U</em></sup>) is ranked as Mg<sub>3</sub>Dy > Mg<sub>1</sub>Dy<sub>1</sub> > Mg<sub>24</sub>Dy<sub>5</sub> > Mg<sub>2</sub>Dy, with the Mg<sub>3</sub>Dy phase exhibiting the most pronounced elastic anisotropy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101164,"journal":{"name":"Smart Materials in Manufacturing","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100055"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772810224000126/pdfft?md5=be78c6d88c5af4293c9d1f69dffc24dc&pid=1-s2.0-S2772810224000126-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141438987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was triggered by heat alternation due to incandescent lamp radiation on/off switching, with a rapid reaction time of the actuator to heat exposure of the order of few seconds. Specifically, a relatively fast locomotion of the actuator was achieved due to the large amplitude of its reversible bending deformation of up to ∼40% measured in terms of the actuator's elevation-to-length ratio. As a result, a typical actuator demonstrated the locomotion velocity of about 3 cm/min, where each cycle of contraction/expansion yielded a walking step of ∼1 cm for about 20 s. It was demonstrated that the actuator, while moving, is able to carry a cargo almost twice heavier than the mass of the carrier itself. Based on optical microscopy and atomic force - infrared spectroscopy data it was concluded that the adhesive interface layer plays an important role in the stable operation of the actuator as it retards linear expansion of the rear polymer layer and thus assists conversion of different linear expansion of the adjacent layers into their effective bending.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101164,"journal":{"name":"Smart Materials in Manufacturing","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100047"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772810224000047/pdfft?md5=8dc67ad629cdd1016db06a93919e79f6&pid=1-s2.0-S2772810224000047-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139942612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Remarkably, the mechanical properties of BCp/MoS<sub>2</sub>/PA12, including tensile strength (47.64 ± 0.42 MPa) and Young's modulus (2.31 ± 0.15 MPa), surpass those of pure PA12.
