AbstractSelf-healing materials integrated with excellent mechanical strength and simultaneously high healing efficiency would be of great use in many fields, however their fabrication has been proven extremely challenging. Here, inspired by biological cartilage, we present an ultrarobust self-healing material by incorporating high density noncovalent bonds at the interfaces between the dentritic tannic acid-modified tungsten disulfide nanosheets and polyurethane matrix to collectively produce a strong interfacial interaction. The resultant nanocomposite material with interwoven network shows excellent tensile strength (52.3 MPa), high toughness (282.7 MJ m‒3, which is 1.6 times higher than spider silk and 9.4 times higher than metallic aluminum), high stretchability (1020.8%) and excellent healing efficiency (80–100%), which overturns the previous understanding of traditional noncovalent bonding self-healing materials where high mechanical robustness and healing ability are mutually exclusive. Moreover, the interfacical supramolecular crosslinking structure enables the functional-healing ability of the resultant flexible smart actuation devices. This work opens an avenue toward the development of ultrarobust self-healing materials for various flexible functional devices.

In general, mechanical systems with closed-loop mechanisms can achieve significantly higher operating speeds as compared to open-loop mechanisms such as robots performing identical tasks. In this brief paper, the reason for the superior dynamic performance of closed-loop mechanisms as compared to open-loop mechanisms performing identical tasks is shown to be the inherent dynamic response limitations of the actuation devices in open-loop dynamic systems. Several examples are provided.

The electromagnetic valve (EMV) actuation system is a new technology for improvement in fuel effciency and reduction in emissions in spark ignition (SI) engines. It can provide more flexibility in valve event control compared with conventional variable valve actuation devices. However, a more powerful and effcient actuator design is needed for this technology to be applied in mass production engines. This paper presents the effects of design and operating parameters on the static and dynamic performances of the actuator. Employing the finite element method (FEM), the flow pattern of the magnetic flux is analysed and the resultant magnetic forces of several cases of core and armature designs are calculated. A computer simulation model has been set up to identify the dynamic behaviour of the EMV system. The effects of external disturbances such as cylinder pressure, armature neutral position and current supply time are also analysed. To verify the accuracy of the simulation model, an experimental study is also carried out on a prototype actuator. It is found that there is relatively good agreement between the experimental data and the results from the simulation model. The newly designed actuator is successfully operated on the test bench up to about 6000 r/min, which is the range of rated speed of most production SI engines. Through the whole speed range, the actuator maintains good performance in valve timing and event control.

The effect of annealing temperature on the magnetic and giant magnetostriction (GMS) of [ Fe / Tb / Fe / Dy ]n multilayer films were investigated. X-ray diffraction showed that the multilayer films' microstructures were still in amorphous at annealing temperature 300°C. The multilayer films began to crystalline at annealing temperature 400°C. The saturation magnetization of multilayer films increased by the increasing annealed temperature. The coercivity first decreased at annealing temperature 300°C and then increased when the annealing temperature was higher than 400°C. The multilayer films had good low-field GMS, and the magnetostriction of the multilayer films increased by the increasing annealing temperature.

Abstract Recently giant magnetostriction materials have drawn a lot of attention because of their unique features which other materials, such as PZT, cannot provide. The features include outstanding magnetostriction, high energy density, high Curie temperature, and quick response. This paper presents two kinds of novel applications of giant magnetostriction materials: a compact fine positioner and a wire clamper. The former is able to achieve highly accurate positioning due to a novel structure design which substantially reduces the influence of Joule heat generated by the solenoid coil. The latter application is motivated by a great demand towards a wire-clamping device for semiconductor manufacturing, which is capable of maintaining a sufficient clamping force without fatigue.
