A deep-learning approach to parameter fitting for a lithium metal battery cycling model, validated with experimental cell cycling time series by Maria Grazia Quarta, Ivonne Sgura, Elisa Emanuele, Jacopo Strada, Raquel Barreira, Benedetto Bozzini

“…In the case of metal lithium SEI growth and shape changes, cycling studies are especially important to assess the impact of the alternation of anodic–cathodic polarization with the relevant electrolyte geometry and mass-transport conditions. Notwithstanding notable progress in analysis of lithium/lithium symmetric coin cell cycling data, on the one hand, some aspects of the cell electrochemical response still warrant investigation, and, on the other hand, very limited quantitative use is made of large corpora of experimental data generated in electrochemical experiments. …”

A review of characteristic lengths in the coupled criterion framework and advanced fracture models by Molnár, Gergely, Doitrand, Aurélien, Estevez, Rafael,  Gravouil, Anthony

“…It addresses limitations in traditional Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics, which struggle to predict small-scale crack behaviors, and highlights the need for models that allow characteristic lengths to emerge from material properties and geometry rather than being predefined inputs.The review covers two main characteristic lengths: the initiation crack length and Irwin’s length, examining their interactions with lengths used in other fracture approaches such as Phase-Field methods, Cohesive Zone Models, and atomic-scale simulations. …”

Flexible electro-hydraulic power chips by Chao Zhang, Jionghao Chen, Changyi Xu, Tairan He, Xiaolong Zhang, Junhui Zhang, Ximing Sun, Bing Xu, Yi Zhu, Huayong Yang

“…Abstract Emerging soft systems, including soft robots or wearable devices, actuated by fluidic means facilitate a series of inherent benefits, including safe human-robot interactions, lower costs, and adaptability in geometry for manipulating delicate objects. However, existing fluidic soft systems are facing a critical barrier: how to get rid of traditional rigid, bulky, and redundant fluid power/control components as well as develop their own flexible, portable, and universal fluidic components for implementing fully flexible, multi-circuit, and untethered autonomous systems. …”

Three-dimensional numerical study of a local scour downstream of a submerged sluice gate using two hydro-morphodynamic models, SedFoam and FLOW-3D by Ghzayel, Alaa, Beaudoin, Anthony

“…Three-dimensional numerical simulations were performed, based on an experimental study of sediments scour process subjected to a water jet downstream of a submerged sluice gate with a rectangular opening at the bottom in a very confined channel. This experimental geometry, little studied in the literature, presents two particular phenomena in the dynamics of the scour process: a change of the dune form and a digging - refilling cycles of the scour. …”
