This paper proposes a novel hybrid element method for numerically analyzing the frictionless sliding contact problem stemming from the viscoelastic behavior and multiphase interactions of polymer matrix smart composites. The study aims to fully investigate the effects of material properties, sliding velocities, and action time on the contact behavior of materials via the integration of the conjugate gradient method with the discrete convolution-fast Fourier transform algorithm. The analytical viscoelastic frequency response functions are derived by substituting elastic solutions with the time-dependent relaxation modulus. Numerical results show that three-phase polymer matrix smart composites exhibit lower contact pressure and higher surface electric/magnetic potential than three-phase magneto-electro-elastic composites. Sliding velocity and action time strongly influence the distribution of pressure/stress and electric/magnetic potential.","PeriodicalId":21656,"journal":{"name":"Smart Materials and Structures","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a method for preparing a silicon modified polyurethane (SPU)-based MRE polishing pad, aimed at demonstrating improved magnetorheological properties while preserving mechanical properties. The SPU-based MRE polishing pad was synthesized through the copolymerization of hydroxypropyl silicone oil and polyurethane prepolymers, with subsequent evaluation of its mechanical properties and polishing performance. Fourier transform infrared analysis confirmed the successful incorporation of the soft polydimethylsiloxane main chain from organosilicon into the polyurethane main chain, forming a soft segment that intertwines with the polyurethane main chain to create a soft-hard segment crosslinked structure. Comparison to polyurethane (PU)-based MRE, SPU exhibits significantly reduced hardness but improved wear resistance, as well as enhanced resistance to acid and alkali corrosion. Due to the presence of a soft matrix, SPU shows better magnetorheological effects (MR Effects) than PU-based MRE. Under a magnetic field intensity of 845 mT, the MR Effect of PU-based MRE is only 18%, while Si-15.96 and Si-16.79 SPU-based MREs can reach 84% and 110%, respectively. Although the material removal rate (MRR) of single-crystal SiC decreases after polishing with SPU compared to PU-based MRE, a higher surface quality is achieved, and the glazing degree of the polishing pad is significantly reduced. In the magnetic field-assisted polishing of single crystal SiC, the MRR increased by 38.4% when polished with an SPU-based MRE polishing pad, whereas the MRR was only 8.7% when polished with a PU-based MRE polishing pad. This study provides further evidence for the development and application of MRE in CMP.","PeriodicalId":21656,"journal":{"name":"Smart Materials and Structures","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address the above issues, a new method based on wavelet decomposition and attention mechanism-enhanced decomposition learning, i.e. WD–AttDL, is proposed in this study to predict structural response under pulse-like ground motions. This method innovatively combines a WD-based velocity pulse-identification method with decomposition learning, where decomposed pulses and high-frequency features are used as inputs to the neural-network model, thus simplifying the identification of pulse features for the model. The decomposition learning model integrates several types of neural network components such as convolutional neural network feature extraction submodule, long short-term memory neural network temporal learning submodule and self-attention mechanism submodule. In order to verify the accuracy and validity of the proposed methodology, three sets of case studies were carried out, including elasto-plastic time-history analyses of planar reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures, a three-dimensional RC frame structure, and two types of masonry seismic isolation structures. Compared with existing structural seismic response models, WD–AttDL synergistically integrates the advantages of different modules and thus offers a higher prediction accuracy. In particular, it reduces the peak error of the predicted response, which is important for the evaluation of structural performance. In addition, WD–AttDL has a great potential for application in fast vulnerability and reliability analysis of pulse-like earthquakes in nonlinear structures.","PeriodicalId":21656,"journal":{"name":"Smart Materials and Structures","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, our objective is to develop intelligent shape memory polymer composite (iSMPC) folds embedded with reduced graphene oxide-coated self-sensing fabric. This will enable remote sensing of the fold state based on resistance changes and achieve higher strength and modulus. Firstly, we demonstrate the ability to sense the extent of folding and establish the relationship between piezoresistivity and fold state change by conducting cyclic compression analysis on folds with different gap sizes (6 mm, 9 mm, and 12 mm) at temperatures of 25 °C, 35 °C, and 45 °C. The iSMPC fold with a 6 mm gap exhibited the highest bending stiffness (650.3 N mm⁻¹) and curvature (0.55 mm⁻¹), resulting in a higher change in fractional change in resistance (FCR). Subsequently, the shape memory cycles of the 6 mm iSMPC fold were demonstrated through localized controlled heating. Its shape recovery process exhibited repeatable behavior with a high recovery ratio of 95%. Lastly, a two-fold iSMPC structure was developed, and its performance was analyzed during a complete shape memory cycle. The piezoresistive response during higher-temperature cyclic loading resembled that of the single fold, exhibiting an FCR range between −9% and 5%, thereby demonstrating the repeatability of the iSMPC fold response.","PeriodicalId":21656,"journal":{"name":"Smart Materials and Structures","volume":"152 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, the most challenging obstacle hindering the efficiency of EBs is their power supply. In this study, a multi-purpose variable damping energy regenerative damper (VD-ERD) using a double coaxial slotted link motion conversion mechanism was proposed for health monitoring of the EBs suspension system, tunning the damping during the operation on different road conditions while providing electric energy for self-powered sensors in EBs. The VD-ERD consists of two identical generators; one is connected to optimal constant resistance for maximum energy harvesting, and the other is linked to adjustable resistance for fine-tuning the damping. Consequently, both generators connect to a rectifier and storage circuits. Furthermore, VD-ERD was developed in MATLAB/Simulink to evaluate its performance in damping and energy harvesting in different road excitations. The VD-ERD achieved an 11.59 W peak and 1.84 W RMS power at 50 km h⁻¹ on an ISO class A road and a 36.38 W peak and 6.34 W RMS power on an ISO class B road. In addition, the experimental finding indicated that controlling the external resistance is capable of tuning the damping. Simultaneously, the prototype achieved a peak power output of 10.29 W at 12 mm and 3 Hz. Furthermore, the voltage signals received from the generators were analyzed using a deep learning model to monitor the condition of the suspension system in four different modes, namely slow, medium, fast, and failure; the result shows 99.37% training accuracy. Feasibility analysis and performance testing showed that VD-ERD provides sufficient power to 10 sensors, indicating that it can power the self-powered and self-sensing devices of EBs.","PeriodicalId":21656,"journal":{"name":"Smart Materials and Structures","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the multi-curvature characteristics of engine composite fan blades and their anisotropic material properties make damage localization difficult with conventional UGW monitoring methods. In order to realize the UGW damage monitoring of the blade, this paper proposes a damage localization method based on damage-scattered wave differences. This method addresses the challenge of locating damage in multi-curvature composite blades. First, the difference between the mutual excitation in a pair of sensors and the damage-scattered waves captured at reception was analyzed. It is concluded that the closer the damage is to the receiving sensor, the greater the damage index (DI). Next, a DI ratio of the mutually excited and received signals is computed for each sensor pair. This ratio is used to draw a vertical line on the propagation path, identified as the damage likelihood line (DLL). Finally, the DLL corresponding to the three largest DIs is selected, and their intersections were used for damage localization. A time-domain truncated signal processing method is proposed to enable the DI to more accurately represent the effects of damage and improve the localization accuracy of the method. An experiment on damage localization was conducted on a homemade composite fan blade, where the damage was tested at various locations and sizes. The results show that the damage localization on the blade is good and 3 mm tiny damage localization is achieved.","PeriodicalId":21656,"journal":{"name":"Smart Materials and Structures","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, it has issues with low output power in the low-frequency vibration region and a limited reaction frequency range. This research proposes a segmented nonlinear broadband piezoelectric–magnetic coupled energy collector capable of collecting vibration energy in different directions. The collector is equivalent to current state-of-the-art research in that it can collect vibration energy in three dimensions while also having a wide collection frequency and a high power density. The collection consists of a hemispherical support structure and four fundamental piezoelectric beam collision components. The rationality of the collision segmentation nonlinear principle is first clarified through theoretical calculation and analysis, and then the collision design is applied between the ends of different cantilever beams to broaden the captured energy frequency band, while parallel piezoelectric beams use a 45° tilt treatment to fully utilize the geometrical properties of the tilted beams for multidirectional energy collection. In addition, the collector introduces a magnetic coupling effect to create a bistable structure via magnetic contact. Comsol 5.6 software is used to model and simulate the planned 45° tilted beam structure, which clarifies the piezoelectric beam’s linear intrinsic frequency characteristics and multi-directional geometric aspects. To further verify the collector’s validity, a physical model is built and a vibration experiment apparatus is created. The experimental results demonstrate that the collector’s effective bandwidth range is up to 6.3 Hz under 1 g acceleration excitation, representing a 125.0% increase in bandwidth when compared to the cantilever beam with a linear array.

The studies include linear and nonlinear approaches. Linear methods are simpler but possess inherent limitations. On the other hand, nonlinear ones could perform better over a broader operating frequency range. Nonlinearity can be introduced in the mechanical domain or electrical domain actively or passively. Since electrical components can be on smaller scales compared to mechanical counterparts, inducing nonlinearity on the mechanical system through the electrical domain can be more practical. Moreover, passive structures require no energy supply and controller therefore they are simpler and more reliable than active ones. In this paper, a novel way to attain passive hardening stiffness was suggested by introducing an electrical component in a shunt circuit for passive nonlinear piezoelectric vibration isolation or energy harvesting applications and the induced structural non-linearity is demonstrated experimentally. A passive nonlinear component is suggested to be a hardening capacitor obtained by the P–N junction. An analytic model is derived for parallel connected macro-fiber composite (MFC) piezoelectric material attached bimorph configuration on a cantilever beam and the model is solved numerically. MFC integrated bimorph model, and P–N junction approximate model are presented. The frequency response of the coupled system is obtained by using numerical models and experiments. Both numerical analysis and experiments validated the hardening stiffness effect of the P–N junction. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first study to demonstrate that nonlinear capacitance of P–N junctions can be used to attain nonlinearity in a mechanical system.","PeriodicalId":21656,"journal":{"name":"Smart Materials and Structures","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142178675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
