2023-07-10Recent advancements in electromechanical coupling effects enable electromechanical materials in soft and stretchable formats, offering unique opportunities for biomimetic applications. However, high electromechanical performance and mechanical elasticity hardly coexist in soft materials. Flexoelectricity, an electromechanical coupling between strain gradient and electric polarization, possesses...
The award recognizes outstanding contributions to the applied mechanics archival literature and pays tribute to the vision and commitment of service that led to the founding of the journal.Metallic glasses (MGs) are often perceived as quintessential structural materials due to their superior mechanical properties such as high strength and large elastic limit. In practical applications, service ...
Hydrogels are an extraordinary soft matter system that serve as a laboratory for a rich plethora of multiphysical phenomena and find applications that range from biocompatible sensors to soft robots. Here, we report a peculiar experimental observation suggesting concurrent stiffening and softening in hydrogels during the dehydration process. Theories based on Flory’s work fail to capture the s...
Collective cell migration occurs in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes, such as wound healing and tumor metastasis. Experiments showed that many types of cells confined in circular islands can perform coherent angular rotation, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we propose a biomechanical model, including the membrane, microtubules, and nucleus, to study th...
