Coupled FEM Analyses on Electro-mechanical Problem of Electrostrictive Plate with Elliptical Hole

A detailed theoretical construction of general coupled 3D FEM analyses of anisotropic dielectrics is first presented by considering the electric body force and body couple moment. A 3D electrostrictive element is subsequently defined in ABAQUS user subroutine UEL and the post-processing of finite element method （FEM） results is realized by UVARM and dummy element method. Then the developed technique is used to solve the electro-elastic field of an isotropic electrostrictive plate with an elliptical hole subjected to electrical load. By comparing the coupled and uncoupled numerical results, the traditional uncoupled analytical method can cause a large error when the applied electric field or the electrostrictive performance of the dielectric is high, and thus the present coupled analysis is especially necessary.     

多组分多层级3D打印材料研究进展（英文）

多组分多层级3D打印材料（McMl3DPMs）是一种新兴的先进材料,源于多孔材料、复合材料和增材制造的融合。由于增材制造赋予了Mc Ml3DPMs三维架构跨越广泛组分构成和结构类型的能力,Mc Ml3DPMs拥有杰出的机械性能,甚至是通常被认为相互排斥的性能（例如高强度和高韧性）。本文重点介绍为了实现高性能结构用Mc Ml3DPMs所必须解决的科学挑战以及最近研究工作对此做出的努力,将从结构设计、制造过程建模、缺陷表征和性能评价3个方面对相关案例进行回顾。最后,本文指出了当前研究的不足之处,并展望了Mc Ml3DPMs的未来发展,包括讨论了进一步推进这一新兴领域发展的几个可能的研究方向。
