The improved low‐field electro‐actuation of dielectric elastomer composites regulated by entirely‐inorganic BaTiO 3 @ TiO 2 core‐shell construction

Abstract Dielectric elastomer (DE) as an important electro‐active polymer (EAP), is capable of providing a large elastic deformation under an external electric field. However, the excellent electro‐actuated performance is usually obtained under high…

4D full-field measurements over the entire loading history: Evaluation of different temporal interpolations

Standard Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) approaches are based on pattern matching between two reconstructed volumes acquired at different stages. Such frameworks are limited by the number of scans (due to acquisition duration), and time-dependent…

Multiscale Damage Analyses of Red Sandstone in Uniaxial Compression Based on Advanced Digital Volume Correlation

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) combined with Digital volume correlation (DVC) has proven to be a powerful tool for bulk deformation measurements of rocks subjected to in-situ experiments. Traditional DVC (i.e., local/global approaches) is generally…

Mesoscale DVC analyses and parameter calibration for pantographic block in 3-point flexure

In the present work, the mechanical response of a fiber network metamaterial was studied when subjected to 3-point flexure. To account for the initial deformation of the sample due to the fabrication process, backtracking (i.e., the nominal mesh was…
