The results show that the flexural strength and compressive strength of the mortar and concrete with interface component and fiber gradient distributions are obviously improved. The strengthes of the fiber gradient distributed mortar and concrete (FGDM/C) are higher than those of fiber homogeneously distributed mortar and concrete (FHDM/C). To obtain the same strength, therefore, a smaller fiber volume content in FGDM/C is needed than that in FHDM/C. The results also show that the component gradient distribution of the concrete can be obtained by means of multi-layer vibrating formation.展开更多

文摘Soft robotic manipulators represent a rapidly evolving field characterized by inherent compliance,adaptability,and safe interactions within unstructured environments.Over the past decade(2015-2025),significant advancements have trans-formed their capabilities through novel designs inspired by biological systems,advanced modeling frameworks,sophisti-cated control strategies,and integration into diverse real-world applications.Recent innovations in multifunctional mate-rials and emerging actuation technologies have markedly expanded manipulator performance,reliability,and dexterity.Concurrently,developments in modeling have progressed from simplified geometric methods toward highly accurate physics-based and hybrid data-driven approaches,substantially improving real-time prediction and controllability.Coupled with these developments,adaptive and robust control strategies-including learning-based techniques-have enabled unprec-edented autonomy and precision in challenging application domains such as Minimally Invasive Surgery(MIS),precision agriculture,deep-sea exploration,disaster recovery,and space missions.Despite these remarkable strides,key challenges remain,notably regarding scalability,long-term material durability,robust integrated sensing,and standardized evaluation procedures.This review comprehensively synthesizes recent advances,critically evaluates state-of-the-art methodologies,and systematically identifies existing gaps to provide a clear roadmap and targeted research directions,guiding future developments toward the broader adoption and optimal utilization of soft robotic manipulators.

文摘Polyvinyl chloride(PVC)poses persistent environmental and recycling challenges due to its high chlorine content,complex additives,and structural resistance to degradation.Recent research has shifted focus from traditional disposal methods toward chemically informed strategies that valorize PVC within the framework of a circular economy.This review systematically summarizes three emerging pathways for PVC transformation.The first involves catalytic deconstruction into small molecules such as chlorinated olefins,hydrocarbons,and oxygenates through thermal,photocatalytic,and electro-assisted processes.The second explores backbone-preserving reconstruction into functional materials,including porous carbons,membranes,ion-conducting films,and vitrimer-type polymers by leveraging selective dechlorination and structural reprogramming.The third addresses the co-processing of PVC with mixed plastic wastes through synergistic catalytic systems that tolerate chlorine-rich streams and promote selective transformation.Across all pathways,emphasis is placed on structure-property correlations,chlorine management,additive compatibility,and downstream utility.Summary tables and schematic diagrams are included to compare system efficiencies,product selectivities,and application scopes.By integrating mechanistic understanding with materials innovation,this review highlights how PVC can be reimagined as a tunable molecular platform rather than a persistent pollutant.
文摘This study focuses on permanent surface dislocations caused by a strike-slip fault in an alluvial valley.A twodimensional mathematical model is utilized,considering the valley to have a half-cylindrical shape.The valley medium is assumed to be isotropic,linear elastic and nonhomogeneous,such that the shear modulus of the valley has spatial dependency.The valley is surrounded by an isotropic,linear elastic and homogeneous half-space.A strike-slip fault is located at the intersection between the valley and the half-space.The problem is solved analytically by using finite Fourier transform.Displacement functions are obtained in closed-form,in terms of power series and hypergeometric function series.Unknown coefficients of these series are determined from the boundary conditions,leading to an analytical exact solution.Numerical results indicate that the nonhomogeneity of the alluvial valley material has a limited impact on permanent surface dislocations unless there is a significant variation in the material properties within the functionally graded zone.In many cases,approximating the nonhomogeneous alluvial valley as a homogeneous medium is suitable.
文摘The accurate mechanical analysis of thick-walled pressure vessel structures composed of advanced materials,such as hyperelastic and functionally graded materials(FGMs),is critical for ensuring their safety and optimizing their design.However,conventional numerical methods can face challenges with the non-linearities inherent in hyperelasticity and the complex spatial variations in FGMs.This paper presents a novel hybrid numerical approach combining Physics-Informed Neural Networks(PINNs)with Finite Element Method(FEM)derived data for the robust analysis of thick-walled,axisymmetric,heterogeneous,hyperelastic pressure vessels with elliptical geometries.A PINN framework incorporating neo-Hookean constitutive relations is developed in MATLAB.To enhance training efficiency and accuracy,the PINN’s loss function is augmented with displacement data obtained from high-fidelity FEM simulations performed in ANSYS.The methodology is rigorously validated by comparing PINN-predicted displacement and von Mises stress fields against ANSYS benchmarks for various scenarios of FGMconfigurations(with material properties varying according to a power law)subjected to internal and external pressurization.The results demonstrate excellent agreement between the proposed hybrid PINN-FEMapproach and conventional FEMsolutions across all test cases,accurately capturing complex deformation patterns and stress concentrations.This study highlights the potential of data-augmented PINNs as an effective and accurate computational tool for tackling complex solid mechanics problems involving non-linearmaterials and significant heterogeneity,offering a promising avenue for future research in engineering design and analysis.

文摘This study explores the dynamic contact response of a viscoelastic functionally graded material(FGM)-coated half-plane under a rigid flat punch subjected to a time-harmonic vertical force.The elastic modulus and mass density of the FGM coating vary exponentially along the thickness direction.The FGM coating and the homogeneous half-plane possess viscoelastic properties,which are described by a linearly hysteretic damping model.By applying the asymptotic method and the Fourier integral transform technique,the contact problem is converted into a Cauchy singular integral equation.The effects of excitation frequency,gradient index,damping factor ratio,and punch width on the vertical impedance and dynamic contact stress are analyzed.The results indicate that adjusting the gradient index of the FGM coating can significantly affect the contact stress and vertical impedance.
文摘Functionally graded materials, including their characterization, properties and production methods are a new rapidly developing field of materials science.

Attention is paid to the principles for obtaining graded structure mainly in the metal based functionally graded materials. Several unpublished results obtained by the authors have been discussed briefly. Experimental methods and theoretical analysis for qualitative and quantitative estimation of graded properties have also been presented.

文摘The effects of the component gradient distribution at interface and the fiber gradient distribution on the strength of cement-based materials were studied. The results show that the flexural strength and compressive strength of the mortar and concrete with interface component and fiber gradient distributions are obviously improved. The strengthes of the fiber gradient distributed mortar and concrete (FGDM/C) are higher than those of fiber homogeneously distributed mortar and concrete (FHDM/C). To obtain the same strength, therefore, a smaller fiber volume content in FGDM/C is needed than that in FHDM/C. The results also show that the component gradient distribution of the concrete can be obtained by means of multi-layer vibrating formation.
