In this study, fundamental governing equations and boundary conditions are derived from the principle of virtual work. Wave characteristics and localization factor of one-dimensional (1D) detuned nano-PC are investigated based on the transfer matrix method, with flexoelectric effect duly accounted for. Subsequently, with nano-PC taken for illustration, forbidden band properties and localization factor of 1D elastic waves in harmonic and detuned states are systematically characterized. It is demonstrated that localization factor can characterize the energy band structure of 1D PC perfectly. Flexoelectric effect tends to widen the width of forbidden band with increasing detuning, and detuning is linearly related to the bandwidth. The forbidden band is more sensitive to flexoelectric coefficient detuning than thickness detuning. The research results provide useful theoretical guidance for designing high-frequency nanoscaled devices with the function of filtering based on band gap effect of nano-PC.

It is difficult to analyze the integrity and durability of composite structures because of their own characteristics and the complexity of load and environments. Structural health monitoring (SHM) based on built-in sensor networks has been widely evaluated as a method to improve the safety and reliability of composite structures and reduce the operational cost. With the rapid development of machine learning, a large number of machine learning algorithms have been applied in many disciplines, and also are being applied in the field of SHM to avoid the limitations resulting from the need of physical models. In this paper, the damage monitoring technologies often used for composite structures are briefly outlined, and the applications of machine learning in damage monitoring of composite structures are concisely reviewed. Then, challenges and solutions for quantitative damage monitoring of composite structures based on machine learning are discussed, focusing on the complete acquisition of monitoring data, deep analysis of the correlation between sensor signal eigenvalues and composite structure states, and quantitative intelligent identification of composite delamination damage.

A new method of modeling geometric nonlinear behavior of the nanotube due to finite rotation and the corresponding van der Waals force is developed using co-rotational finite element method (CFEM) formulation, combined with small deformation beam theory, with the inclusion of axial force.

However, the complex nature of inkjet printing involves the liquid deposition and film formation from the vaporization of solvent, which makes it different from film created by conventional deposition methods. Inkjet printing of zinc oxide (ZnO), which is a widely utilized semiconductor, produces polycrystalline film composed of nano-size grains, which could significantly influence the properties of printed film. In this study, low-temperature annealing was employed to treat inkjet-printed ZnO for UV photodetection application, and its influence on electrical properties was studied. Band bending was characterized using the Mott-Schottky plot which examines the charge distribution of the films. It is found that the annealing of inkjet-printed polycrystalline ZnO film has improved its electrical properties, which could be attributed to the reduction of band bending due to the merging of grains. The treatment also helps to reduce impurities of the film, such as zinc hydroxide complexes, which are common for solution-derived films. Hence, the study could pay the way for the improvement of electrical properties of inkjet-printed functional materials.

The regulation mechanism was revealed by studying the changes in the morphological characteristics, electromagnetic properties, and microwave absorbing performance of CNT/MOF-derived hierarchical composite under different process parameters. The results show that the morphological characteristics and interface bonding between CNT and MOF have a great impact on the absorptive capacity. The composite with composition of 0.28Co/0.26Fe has a maximum absorption of −46 dB at 8.6 GHz and a thickness of 4 mm. In addition, the absorption band with reflection loss values of less than −20 dB can be operated with this thickness between 7.15 and 10.18 GHz, showing excellent absorbing ability and electromagnetic wave bandwidth. The regulation mechanism of CNT/MOF-derived hierarchical composite mainly depends on the effect of Lorentz force, the ion disorder of CoO-Fe2O3 heterojunction, and the spin polarization mechanism of free electrons.

Here, based on liquid metal magnetoactive slurries (LMMS), a variable stiffness wire with excellent electrical conductivity is demonstrated. Without exposure to a magnetic field, the LMMS wire has an extremely low stiffness, and can be easily stretched while maintaining an excellent electrical conductivity. When applying a magnetic field, the wire becomes much stiffer and can retain its shape even under a load. The combination of properties of flexibility, high electrical conductivity, and variable stiffness of the wire is harnessed to make a flexible gripper that can grasp objects of various shapes. Moreover, by using gallium instead of its liquid metal alloys, the tunable stiffness range of the LMMS wire is significantly enhanced and can be controlled using both external magnetic fields and temperature-induced phase change. The presented LMMS wire has the potential to be applied in flexible electronics, soft robotics and so on.

This study proposes to enlarge the cut width into a notch flexure, which is applied to an orthogonality-cutted kirigami sheet, which buckles out of plane into a 3D configuration patterns under uniaxial tension. The use of compliant beam as the notch makes the stress distribution around the cuts more uniform in both elastic and elastoplastic regime. The experimental and numerical results show that by tuning the geometric parameters of cuts and material properties of the sheets, the trigger condition of 3D patterns can be adjusted. Potential capability of tunable phononic wave propagation in this kirigami-inspired metamaterial is demonstrated. This design methodology offers a theoretical guide for kirigami-based structures.

The shape memory properties of magnetron sputtered Ti40.4Ni48Hf11.6 films annealed at 635°C – 5 min are influenced by film thickness and the underlying substrate. Decreasing TiNiHf film thickness from 21 μm to 110 nm results in the reduction of all characteristic transformation temperatures until a critical thickness is reached. Particularly, Ti40.4Ni48Hf11.6 thin films as low as 220 nm show transformations above room temperature when deposited on SiO2 buffer layer, which is of great interest in nano-actuation. In comparison, 220 nm films on Si substrates are austenitic at room temperature, and thus not suitable for actuation. Thermal fatigue tests on TiNiHf/SiO2/Si bimorphs demonstrate better functional fatigue characteristics than freestanding films, with an average reduction of 15°C after 125 cycles, with temperature stabilization subsequently. Experimental bi-directional actuation results are promising in the development of bistable actuators within a PMMA/TiNiHf/Si trimorph composite, whereby the additional PMMA layer undergoes a glass transition at 105°C. With the aid of constitutive modeling, a route is elaborated on how bistable actuation can be achieved at micro- to nanoscales by showing favorable thickness combinations of PMMA/TiNiHf/Si composite.
