Variable Stiffness Fiber with Self-Healing Capability.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variable stiffness fiber made of silicone and low melting point alloys quickly becomes >700 times softer and >400 times more deformable when heated above 62 °C. It shows remarkable self-healing properties and can be clamped, knitted, and bonded, as shown in a foldable multi-purpose drone, a wearable cast for bone injuries, and a soft multi-directional actuator.

Experimental study on self-healing effect of FRCC with PVA fibers and additives against freeze/thaw cycles
ID No: 252 ABSTRACT It has been confirmed by some previous research that some types of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCCs) particularly using synthetic fibers (e.g. polyvinyl alcohol; PVA) has a great capability of self-healing of cracks. In this study, selfhealing capability of FRCCs with the effects of additives such as silica fume and excess PVA dosage were tested. Experimental ...
متن کاملFree vibration analysis of variable stiffness composite laminated thin skew plates using IGA
A NURBS-based isogeometric finite element formulation is developed and adopted to the free vibration analysis of finite square and skew laminated plates. Variable stiffness plies are assumed due to implementation of curvilinear fiberreinforcements. It is assumed due to employment of tow placement technology, in each ply of variable stiffness composite laminated plate the fiber reinforceme...
متن کاملFree Vibration Analysis of Variable Stiffness Composite Laminates with Flat and Folded Shapes
In this article, free vibration analysis of variable stiffness composite laminate (VSCL) plates with flat and folded shapes is studied. In order to consider the concept of variable stiffness, in each layer of these composite laminated plates, the curvilinear fibers are used instead of straight fibers. The analysis is based on a semi-analytical finite strip method which follows classical laminat...
متن کاملA softening-healing law for self-healing quasi-brittle materials: analyzing with Strong Discontinuity embedded Approach
Quasi-brittle materials such as concrete suffer from cracks during their life cycle, requiring great cost for conventional maintenance or replacement. In the last decades, self-healing materials are developed which are capable of filling and healing the cracks and regaining part of the stiffness and strength automatically after getting damaged, bringing the possibility of maintenance-free mater...
متن کاملMultiphase design of autonomic self-healing thermoplastic elastomers.
The development of polymers that can spontaneously repair themselves after mechanical damage would significantly improve the safety, lifetime, energy efficiency and environmental impact of man-made materials. Most approaches to self-healing materials require the input of external energy, healing agents, solvent or plasticizer. Despite intense research in this area, the synthesis of a stiff mate...
