A Scaling Framework for Mechanical Memristance: Dimensionless Metrics and Material Design Maps
Abdulla Alhembar, Fabrizio Scarpa, Chrystel D. L. Remillat +6
Mechanical memristors are systems whose dissipative response depends on the history of previous loading through an evolving internal state. History-dependent forces and dissipation…
A physical adaptive material motor unit neural network: a hygromorph composite material machine
Charles de Kergariou, David Correa, Adam W. Perriman +2
Advances in novel materials science enable structures to function as intelligent machines by embedding memory and learning capabilities directly into materials. Our work introduces…
Towards Engineering Material Neural Networks
Charles de Kergariou, Hortense le Ferrand, Ali Momeni +4
Structures that capture functionality in the form of animate or intelligent machines have the potential to transform modern engineering applications. Animation and embedded intelli…
Damping and vibration properties of alginate-poloxamer hydrogels doped with sepiolite and cactus fibres
Gianni Comandini, Fabrizio Scarpa, Evita Ning +4
We investigated a novel class of composite hydrogels composed of alginate, poloxamer, sepiolite, and cactus fibres for vibration damping applications. Using a Design of Experiments…
