Despite the rich tunability of its geometrical properties, the design of Miura-ori to realize topological edge states is still in its infancy. In our work, by optimally adjusting the folding angle and the acute angle of the Miura-folded metamaterials, we conduct the Dirac cone engineering by inducing a double Dirac cone in the band structure. We then show the emergence of a complete band gap by breaking the intrinsic glide reflection symmetry of the Miura-ori in two distinct ways, leading to configurations with opposite topological phases labeled as the inverted and everted models. Combining these two metamaterials forms edge modes propagating along the interfaces and boundaries. Especially, we demonstrate the frequency-switchable edge modes in a Miura-folded checkerboard metamaterial consisting of the two opposite topological phases, controlling several edge routing types.

Three mechanical metamaterials were proposed, consisting of negative stiffness elements, honeycomb structures, and resonators, with the negative stiffness elements fabricated from shape memory polymers. By integrating the tunability of smart materials and analyzing from the perspective of phononic crystals, the metamaterials exhibit programmable and highly tunable bandgap properties. The results show that the configuration of negative stiffness elements directly affects the equivalent stiffness of the metamaterial, thereby altering its dispersion relation and transmission properties. The impact of geometric parameters on the modulation of bandgap frequency and transmission properties is systematically verified. Furthermore, two reversible methods, shape memory shape programming and stiffness programming are proposed. The highly nonlinear and impedance mismatch characteristics of the programming structures enable bandgap adjustment under complex loading conditions, achieving full-band vibration isolation within the 1000Hz frequency range. Additionally, interfaces with different gradients can accurately control the transmission and blocking of excitation frequencies.

The long-term durability of the composite was assessed through a combination of experimental investigation, analytical modeling, and environmental aging protocols. Moisture uptake behavior was characterized under three exposure conditions: 60% RH, 83.5% RH, and full water immersion at 30°C. Bamboo/epoxy composite substrate followed Fickian diffusion, while rubber layers exhibited Sequential Dual Fickian (SDF) behavior. Anisotropic absorption was observed, with longitudinal bamboo direction showing significantly higher uptake. Mechanical performance under compression was evaluated before and after aging, revealing the synergistic effects of hygrothermal and mechanical degradation. To capture this behavior, a hygro-thermomechanical extension of laminate theory was developed, enabling layer-wise prediction of stress distribution and diffusion kinetics under coupled environmental conditions. The findings offer new insights into the multi-physics degradation mechanisms of natural fiber composites and provide a framework for the design of durable, bio-inspired structural materials for sustainable engineering applications.","PeriodicalId":56287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Sciences","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144664804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cold expansion process (CEP) serves as an effective surface strengthening technique to enhance the fatigue resistance of hole structures. However, the limited understanding of cold expansion strengthening mechanism and the absence of robust fatigue life prediction method constrain the safe operation of the critical components with cold expanded holes. This study presents a multi-stage convex-hull rotary CEP engineered for small hole specimens with diameters varying from 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm. Experiments reveal a threefold improvement in fatigue life when the temperature is below 600 °C and the stress level is less than 800 MPa, providing a strengthening efficacy boundary in terms of the loading conditions for the developed CEP. The microstructure analysis demonstrates that the gradient nanocrystals and compressive residual stress formed on hole root improve fatigue life at lower stress and temperature conditions. Notably, the temperature elevation to 700 °C triggers nanocrystal coarsening and δ-phase stacking fault formation, leading to accelerated fatigue degradation. To predict the fatigue life of expanded hole structures, a data-physics hybrid-driven framework integrating dual-scale modeling with machine learning was developed, achieving both high prediction accuracy and computational efficiency compared with conventional methods. All results were confined within a ±3.0 error band based on the developed method, and the computational speed was improved by approximately four orders of magnitude. This work advances an anti-damage manufacturing technique of hole structures and provides an engineering-oriented life assessment method for surface strengthening components.","PeriodicalId":56287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144664806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results demonstrate that while Young's modulus exhibits minimal angular fluctuations, tensile strength displays anisotropic behavior: decreasing in the zigzag direction yet increasing in the armchair direction with larger twist angles. Furthermore, the shear moduli show negligible angular dependence across the studied range. A critical finding is that TBLG manifests transversely isotropic material properties at a critical twist angle of approximately 29°∼30° Consequently, TBLG with a 29.96° twist configuration is selected for titanium reinforcement in uniaxial tensile and shear simulations. and the TBLG with twist angles of 6.01° and 12.90° are used to verify the angle independence of TBLG-RT. The MD simulations reveal that even minimal TBLG volume fractions induce substantial mechanical property enhancements compared to pure titanium. However, significant discrepancies emerge between conventional micromechanical models (Rule of Mixtures and Halpin-Tsai) and MD-derived results at higher reinforcement fractions. To address this divergence, we propose modified versions of these models calibrated against MD simulation data, enabling more accurate predictions of TBLG-RT composite performance.

This work demonstrates in an intermetallic that the shear-band plasticity can be greatly enhanced by introducing atomic-scale structural heterogeneity. The samples with such heterogeneity can be plastically deformed above a compressive engineering strain of about 5%, while the samples without the heterogeneity do not show significant plasticity even though the strain reaches 10%.
