It remains unknown that the degree of bias in computational fluid dynamics results without considering coronary cyclic bending. This study aims to investigate the influence of different rates of coronary cyclic bending on coronary hemodynamics. To model coronary bending, a multi-ring-controlled fluid-structural interaction model was designed. A coronary artery was simulated with various cyclic bending rates (0.5, 0.75 and 1 s, corresponding to heart rates of 120, 80 and 60 bpm) and compared against a stable model. The simulated results show that the hemodynamic parameters of vortex Q-criterion, temporal wall shear stress (WSS), time-averaged WSS (TaWSS) and oscillatory shear index (OSI) were sensitive to the changes in cyclic rate. A higher heart rate resulted in higher magnitude and larger variance in the hemodynamic parameters. Whereas, the values and distributions of flow velocity and relative residence time (RRT) did not show significant differences between different bending periods. This study suggests that a stable coronary model is not sufficient to represent the hemodynamics in a bending coronary artery. Different heart rate conditions were found to have significant impact on the hemodynamic parameters. Thus, cyclic bending should be considered to mimic the realistic hemodynamics in future patient-specific coronary hemodynamics studies.

In this study, we developed a novel composite catalytic hydrogel, which integrates excellent mechanical properties, catalytic activity, and sensing performance. Discarded hydrogel sensors are reused as templates for in-situ generation of metal nanoparticles, and multifunctional hydrogels combining sensing and catalysis are realized. Polyacrylamide (PAM) provides a three-dimensional network structure, while octadecyl methacrylate (SMA) acts as a hydrophobic association center, enhancing the structural stability of the hydrogel.

Smart shape-memory DNA hydrogels, which can respond to various types of external stimuli and undergo macroscopic shape deformations, have shown great potential in various applications. By constructing free-standing films, the deformation and response properties of these hydrogels can be further enhanced, and visualized deformation can be achieved. However, DNA hydrogels that can exhibit rapid and high-degree shape deformations, such as the inverse shape deformations, are still lacking.

This study examines the specimen size-dependent deformation behavior of commercially pure titanium grade 4 (cp-Ti grade 4) sheets under tension, with strain paths between uniaxial tension (UT) and plane-strain tension and compares the results with cyclic bending under tension (CBT) data. Specimens of varying widths (11.7, 20, 60, 100, and 140 mm) were tested in both rolling (RD) and transverse (TD) directions.

Roll-bonding has rarely been applied to prepare rods for negative thermal expansion metamaterials (NTEMs). Parameters for quantitatively assessing the isotropy and cyclic thermal stability of the thermal expansion coefficient α of NTEMs are lacking. Here, the Ti-to-Al thickness ratio in bimetallic rods for "cross-shaped" node bending-dominated NTEMs was optimized using a general model proposed in the literature.

Flexible sensing materials have become a hot topic due to their sensitive electrical response to external force or temperature and their promising applications in flexible wear and human-machine interaction. In this study, a PDMS/capillary GaInSn flexible sensing material with high force and thermal sensitivity was prepared utilizing liquid metal (LM, GaInSn), flexible silicone capillary, and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The resistance () of the flexible sensing materials under the action of different forces and temperatures was recorded in real-time.
