Determining the Optimal Phase-Change Material via High-Throughput Calculations

Amina Matt

The discovery and optimization of phase-change and shape memory alloys remain a tedious and expensive process. Here a simple computational method is proposed to determine the ideal phase- change material for a given alloy composed of three elements. Using ...

Exploring Energy Transfer in a Metal/Perovskite Nanocrystal Antenna to Drive Photocatalysis

Raffaella Buonsanti, Mounir Driss Mensi, Anna Loiudice, Seryio Saris

The use of all-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) in photocatalytic systems has been limited because of their instability in polar solvents. Encapsulation of PeNCs in inorganic or polymeric matrices has been shown to be effective in overcoming such ...

A comparative study of mode I delamination behavior of unidirectional glass fiber-reinforced polymers with epoxy and polyurethane matrices using two methods

John Botsis, Georgios Pappas

The mode I delamination behavior of a unidirectional glass-fiber reinforced polymer with a prototype elasto-plastic polyurethane matrix (GF/PU) was investigated and compared with that of glass/epoxy (GF/EP) using double cantilever beam specimens. Fracture ...

Single chamber multiple degree-of-freedom soft pneumatic actuator enabled by adjustable stiffness layers

Jamie Paik, Marco Salerno, Sébastien Douglas de Rivaz, Junius Santoso

Soft pneumatic actuators promise simple, adaptable, and safe manipulation, but the nature of pneumatic circuits limits the scalability of this approach. This paper introduces a method to augment the degrees-of-freedom of soft pneumatic actuators without in ...

Shape memory alloys in fibre-reinforced polymer composites

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades

This article reviews the current state-of-the-art in the applications of shape memory alloy (SMA) wires into high performance fibre reinforced polymer composite materials (FRPs). SMAs have been investigated to date to address four main areas of properties ...

Actuator Layout Optimization for Adaptive Structures Performing Large Shape Changes, Advanced Computing Strategies for Engineering

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

Adaptive structures are sensed and actuated to modify internal forces and shape to maintain optimal performance in response to loads. The use of large shape changes as a structural adaptation strategy to counteract the effect of loads has been investigated ...

Stitched shape memory alloy wires enhance damage recovery in self-healing fibre-reinforced polymer composites

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Nathan Klaus Hostettler

A major issue in composite technology is matrix micro-cracking due to low-velocity impact damage, which may severely limit service lifetimes of composite parts. In a novel approach, remarkable levels of healing of impact damage are obtained using shape mem ...

A vibration control strategy using variable stiffness joints

Gennaro Senatore

Adaptive joints are structural joints made of materials with enhanced transduction properties that can vary their stiffness via solid-state actuation (e.g. thermal, mechanical). In this work, stiffness tuning is used to switch the joint between a ‘locked’ ...

Improved mechanical dispersion or use of coupling agents? Advantages and disadvantages for the properties of fluoropolymer/ceramic composites

Sara Dalle Vacche, Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Dragan Damjanovic

The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of interfacial chemistry on the properties of fluoropolymer composites, independent of effects derived from changes in morphology, in particular particle dispersion state. A comparative study of solvent ...
