Four-dimensional (4D) printing, a new technology emerged from additive manufacturing (3D printing), is widely known for its capability of programming post-fabrication shape-changing into artifacts. Fused deposition modeling (FDM)-based 4D printing, in particular, uses thermoplastics to produce artifacts and requires computational analysis to assist the design processes of complex geometries. However, these artifacts are weak against structural loads, and the design quality can be limited by less accurate material models and numerical simulations. To address these issues, this paper propounds a composite structure design made of two materials - polylactic acid (PLA) and carbon fiber reinforced PLA (CFPLA) - to increase the structural strength of 4D printed artifacts and a workflow composed of several physical experiments and series of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) to characterize materials. We apply this workflow to 3D printed samples fabricated with different printed parameters to accurately characterize the materials and implement a sequential finite element analysis (FEA) to achieve accurate simulations. The accuracy of deformation induced by the triggering process is both computationally and experimentally verified with several creative design examples, and the 95% confidence interval of the accuracy is (0.972, 0.985). We believe the presented workflow is essential to the combination of geometry, material mechanism and design, and has various potential applications.

Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have gained interest in the tissue engineering field thanks to their versatility and unique possibilities of producing constructs with complex macroscopic geometries and defined patterns. Recently, composite mat erials - namely heterogeneous biomaterials identified as continuous phase (matrix) and reinforcement (filler) - have been proposed as inks that can be processed by AM to obtain scaffolds with improved biomimetic and bioactive properties. Significant efforts have been dedicated to hydroxyapatite (HA)-reinforced composites, especially targeting bone tissue engineering, thanks to the chemical similarities of HA with respect to mineral components of native mineralized tissues. Here we review applications of AM techniques to process HA-reinforced composites and biocomposites for the production of scaffolds with biological matrices, including cellular tissues. The primary outcomes of recent investigations in terms of morphological, structural, and in vitro and in vivo biological properties of the materials are discussed. We classify the approaches based on the nature of the matrices employed to embed the HA reinforcements and produce the tissue substitutes and report a critical discussion on the presented state of the art as well as the future perspectives, to offer a comprehensive picture of the strategies investigated as well as challenges in this emerging field.

High-resolution TEM (HRTEM) is a powerful tool for structure characterization. However, methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite is highly sensitive to electron beams and easily decompose into lead iodide (PbI2). Universal misidentifications th at PbI2 is incorrectly labeled as perovskite are widely exist in HRTEM characterization, which would negatively affect the development of perovskite research field. Here misidentifications in MAPbI3 perovskite calibration are summarized, classified and corrected based on corresponding electron diffraction (ED) simulations. Corresponding crystallographic parameters of intrinsic tetragonal MAPbI3 and the confusable hexagonal PbI2 are also presented clearly. Finally, the method of proper phase identification and some ways to control the radiation damage in HRTEM are provided. This work paves the way to avoid misleadings in HRTEM characterization of perovskite and other electron beam-sensitive materials in the future.
The study is devoted to the geometrically nonlinear simulation of fiber-reinforced composite structures. The applicability of the multiplicative approach to the simulation of viscoelastic properties of a composite material is assessed, certain improv ements are suggested. For a greater accuracy in applications involving local compressive fiber buckling, a new family of hyperelastic potentials is introduced. This family allows us to account for the variable critical compressive stress, which depends on the fiber-matrix interaction. For the simulation of viscoelasticity, the well-established Sidoroff decomposition of the deformation gradient is implemented. To account for the viscosity of the matrix material, the model of Simo and Miehe (1992) is used; highly efficient iteration-free algorithms are implemented. The viscosity of the fiber is likewise described by the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient, leading to a scalar differential equation; an efficient iteration-free algorithm is proposed for the implicit time stepping. The accuracy and convergence of the new iteration-free method is tested and compared to that of the standard scheme implementing the Newton iteration. To demonstrate the applicability of the approach, a pressurized multi-layer composite pipe is modelled; the so-called stretch inversion phenomenon is reproduced and explained. The stress distribution is obtained by a semi-analytical procedure; it may serve as a benchmark for FEM computations. Finally, the issue of the parameter identification is addressed.
Photon Green function (GF) is the vital and most decisive factor in the field of quantum light-matter interaction. It is divergent with two equal space arguments in arbitrary-shaped lossy structure and should be regularized. We introduce a finite ele ment method for calculating the regularized GF. It is expressed by the averaged radiation electric field over the finite-size of the photon emitter. For emitter located in homogeneous lossy material, excellent agreement with the analytical results is found for both real cavity model and virtual cavity model. For emitter located in a metal nano-sphere, the regularized scattered GF, which is the difference between the regularized GF and the analytical regularized one in homogeneous space, agrees well with the analytical scattered GF.
We describe a general family of curved-crease folding tessellations consisting of a repeating lens motif formed by two convex curved arcs. The third author invented the first such design in 1992, when he made both a sketch of the crease pattern and a vinyl model (pictured below). Curve fitting suggests that this initial design used circular arcs. We show that in fact the curve can be chosen to be any smooth convex curve without inflection point. We identify the ruling configuration through qualitative properties that a curved folding satisfies, and prove that the folded form exists with no additional creases, through the use of differential geometry.
