Flexoelectricity and piezoelectricity provide two distinct pathways for electromechanical coupling: the former originates from strain gradients and is present in all dielectrics, whereas the latter is a linear coupling effect restricted to non-centrosymmetric materials. This paper numerically investigates the combined flexoelectric and piezoelectric behavior of architected microstructures (metamaterials). In metamaterials, geometric features can be tailored to generate pronounced bending and strain gradients even under macroscopically uniform loading. This work investigates metamaterials whose topologies are intentionally designed to amplify strain gradients and thereby activate flexoelectricity at micro- and nanoscales. To study the interplay between flexoelectric and piezoelectric effects, we assign dielectric or piezoelectric material properties to the same architected geometries and employ a mixed finite element formulation that incorporates mechanical strain, strain gradients, electric fields, and their linear and higher-order couplings. In this way, the combined response is realized through the superposition of topology-induced flexoelectricity and intrinsic piezoelectric material coefficients. Verification against existing metamaterial designs demonstrates that our framework accurately reproduces apparent piezoelectricity in centrosymmetric dielectrics. Parametric studies reveal that flexoelectricity dominates at small geometric length scales, while piezoelectricity prevails at larger scales; depending on the architecture, their interaction can either enhance or suppress the net electrical output. These findings provide insight into how geometry and material length scales govern the electromechanical behavior of architected dielectrics and offer guidelines for designing next-generation micro- and nanoscale energy harvesters and sensing devices.

柔性电和压电为机电耦合提供了两种不同的途径：前者源于应变梯度，存在于所有电介质中，而后者是一种线性耦合效应，仅限于非中心对称材料。本文用数值方法研究了结构微结构（超材料）的挠性和压电性。在超材料中，即使在宏观均匀载荷下，几何特征也可以定制以产生明显的弯曲和应变梯度。这项工作研究了超材料，其拓扑结构被有意设计为放大应变梯度，从而在微纳米尺度上激活柔性电。为了研究挠性电和压电效应之间的相互作用，我们将介电或压电材料属性分配到相同的结构几何形状，并采用混合有限元公式，该公式包含机械应变、应变梯度、电场及其线性和高阶耦合。这种组合响应是通过拓扑诱导挠性电和压电材料本征系数的叠加来实现的。对现有超材料设计的验证表明，我们的框架准确地再现了中心对称电介质中的表观压电性。参数研究表明，柔电在较小的几何长度尺度上占优势，而压电在较大的几何长度尺度上占优势；根据结构的不同，它们的相互作用可以增强或抑制净电输出。这些发现提供了几何和材料长度尺度如何控制结构电介质的机电行为的见解，并为设计下一代微纳米级能量收集器和传感设备提供了指导方针。

Ice accumulation on road surfaces poses significant hazards to traffic safety and infrastructure. The mechanism by which salt ions regulate ice adhesion during freezing by altering the structure of water molecules remains poorly understood. This study investigates cation-specific effects on ice adhesion strength (IAS) and the structural evolution of water on asphalt surfaces using experiments and molecular dynamics simulations. At equal mass concentrations, the reduction in IAS among different cations follows the order Li⁺ > Mg²⁺ > Na⁺ > Ca²⁺ > K⁺, indicating that smaller ionic radii and higher charges enhance adhesion suppression. Low-temperature Raman spectroscopy shows that cations disrupt the tetrahedral hydrogen-bond network (DDAA) of water, with the extent of disruption negatively correlated with IAS. The ability to disrupt hydrogen bonds is negatively correlated with IAS. NMR analyses further confirm that strongly hydrated cations (Li⁺, Mg²⁺) promote the formation of immobilized water, representing water molecules within the quasi-liquid layer (QLL) that are constrained but not fully frozen. Moreover, ions strongly inhibit the water–ice phase transition, increasing both the thickness and disorder of the quasi-liquid layer (QLL), as revealed by the Q6 order parameter combined with the CHILL+ algorithm. In the Li⁺ and Mg²⁺ systems, lower diffusion coefficients and higher potentials of mean force (PMF) indicate restricted molecular mobility and hydrogen-bond network rearrangement, resulting in a thicker QLL and weaker ice adhesion. These findings provide fundamental insights into cation-mediated anti-icing mechanisms and offer guidance for the design of effective ion-regulated anti-icing materials for infrastructure.

路面结冰对交通安全和基础设施造成严重危害。在冻结过程中，盐离子通过改变水分子的结构来调节冰的粘附，其机制尚不清楚。本研究通过实验和分子动力学模拟研究了阳离子对沥青表面冰附着强度（IAS）和水的结构演变的特定影响。在相同的质量浓度下，不同阳离子间IAS的还原遵循Li + >； Mg 2 + > Na + > Ca 2 + >； K +的顺序，表明离子半径越小，电荷越高，对粘附抑制作用越强。低温拉曼光谱显示，阳离子破坏了水的四面体氢键网络（DDAA），破坏程度与IAS呈负相关。破坏氢键的能力与IAS呈负相关。核磁共振分析进一步证实，强水合阳离子（Li +、Mg 2 +）促进了固定化水的形成，代表准液体层（QLL）内的水分子受到约束，但没有完全冻结。Q6序参量结合CHILL+算法表明，离子对水-冰相变有较强的抑制作用，增加了准液层（QLL）的厚度和无序度。在Li +和Mg 2 +体系中，较低的扩散系数和较高的平均力势（PMF）表明分子迁移率和氢键网络重排受到限制，导致QLL更厚，冰粘附力更弱。这些发现为阳离子介导的防冰机制提供了基本见解，并为设计有效的基础设施离子调节防冰材料提供了指导。

Recently, strong bioadhesion between hydrogels and tissues has emerged as a significant area of investigation in the field of soft materials, biomaterials, and biomedical engineering. Compared to alternative adhesion techniques, bioadhesion facilitated by ultrasound has gained prominence for its simplicity, high efficacy, rapid response, and controllability in establishing a durable hydrogel-tissue interface. Despite a large number of experimental studies and qualitative mechanistic insights, theoretical research in this field remains significantly underdeveloped. This study fills this gap by developing a mechanics model that elucidates for the first time the fundamental mechanism of ultrasound-mediated bioadhesion of the hydrogel-tissue interface. We first develop an ultrasonic cavitation model to describe the formation of a thin bubbly liquid layer (also referred to as the cavitation layer) between the ultrasonic transducer tip and the tissue substrate, alongside the ultrasonic pressure field induced by the ultrasound in the cavitation layer. Subsequently, we establish an ultrasound-driven diffusion-convection-reaction model to capture the migration of anchoring primers (e.g., chitosan) within the cavitation layer as well as the formation of a suturing layer at the tissue surface. Upon the application of hydrogel patch, the anchored primers suture the hydrogel patch to the tissue surface, forming bioadhesion at hydrogel-tissue interface. Finally, we employ a force-induced dissociation model of hydrogel network to characterize the bioadhesion strength between the hydrogel and tissue. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the theoretical predictions with experimental data on bioadhesion strength under various ultrasound intensity reveals a strong agreement, thus affirming the validity of our theoretical model. We anticipate that our model will provide valuable insights into the design, optimization, and control of bioadhesion processes at the hydrogel-tissue interface.

近年来，水凝胶与组织之间的强生物粘附性已成为软材料、生物材料和生物医学工程领域的一个重要研究领域。与其他粘附技术相比，超声促进的生物粘附以其简单、高效、快速和可控制的特点在建立持久的水凝胶-组织界面方面获得了突出的地位。尽管有大量的实验研究和定性的机制见解，但这一领域的理论研究仍显着不发达。本研究通过建立一个力学模型来填补这一空白，该模型首次阐明了超声介导的水凝胶-组织界面生物粘附的基本机制。我们首先建立了超声空化模型来描述超声换能器尖端与组织基底之间形成的薄泡状液体层（也称为空化层），以及空化层中超声诱导的超声压力场。随后，我们建立了超声驱动的扩散-对流-反应模型，以捕捉锚定引物（如壳聚糖）在空化层内的迁移以及组织表面缝合层的形成。应用水凝胶贴片后，锚定的引物将水凝胶贴片缝合到组织表面，在水凝胶-组织界面形成生物粘附。最后，我们采用水凝胶网络的力诱导解离模型来表征水凝胶与组织之间的生物粘附强度。此外，对不同超声强度下的生物粘附强度的理论预测与实验数据进行了对比分析，结果显示出很强的一致性，从而肯定了我们的理论模型的有效性。我们预计我们的模型将为水凝胶-组织界面的生物粘附过程的设计、优化和控制提供有价值的见解。

The distribution and propagation of cracks play a critical role in the design, fabrication, and optimization of high-sensitivity flexoelectric materials. Despite significant progress, the elucidation of the flexoelectric fracture mechanism remains an unresolved and challenging issue. In this study, a novel phase-field model addressing electromechanical fracture in both piezoelectric and flexoelectric materials is developed. Gradient elasticity and flexoelectricity are incorporated into the phase-field theory, with governing equations derived in the framework of thermodynamics. In light of the stress projection and the energetic failure criterion, the unsymmetric electromechanical fracture behavior can be reproduced. Different energy degradation strategies are introduced to account for the energy contributions from strain and strain gradients, enabling the accurate simulation of fractures influenced by flexoelectricity. Compared with conventional fracture models, this model reproduces the flexoelectric crack-tip effect during crack propagation for the first time. We performed numerical simulations of the crack evolution process in various flexoelectric materials and structures. The findings indicate that the gradient and flexoelectric effects can hinder the failure of solids for tensile fracture. Meanwhile, flexoelectricity can promote crack deflection toward the direction of the local electric field around the crack tip. Moreover, crack growth under mechanical loading is consistently accompanied by a continuous increase in the efficiency of energy conversion from mechanical to electrical form. However, excessive crack propagation weakens the capacity for dielectric energy storage in the material. This model not only provides a new perspective for the optimal design of efficient flexoelectric structures, but also offers a new framework for investigating the fracture behavior of electro-mechanical coupling materials with size effects.

裂纹的分布和扩展在高灵敏度柔性电材料的设计、制造和优化中起着至关重要的作用。尽管取得了重大进展，但对挠曲电断裂机制的阐明仍然是一个未解决的和具有挑战性的问题。在本研究中，建立了一种新的相场模型来处理压电和柔性电材料的机电断裂。将梯度弹性和柔性电纳入相场理论，并在热力学框架下推导出控制方程。根据应力投影和能量破坏准则，可以再现非对称的机电断裂行为。引入了不同的能量退化策略，以考虑应变和应变梯度的能量贡献，从而能够准确模拟受柔电影响的裂缝。与传统断裂模型相比，该模型首次再现了裂纹扩展过程中的挠曲电裂纹尖端效应。我们对各种挠性电材料和结构的裂纹演化过程进行了数值模拟。研究结果表明，梯度效应和挠曲电效应会阻碍固体的破坏。同时，挠性电可以促进裂纹向裂纹尖端周围局部电场方向偏转。此外，裂纹在机械载荷下的扩展始终伴随着从机械到电气形式的能量转换效率的不断提高。然而，过度的裂纹扩展会削弱材料的介电储能能力。该模型不仅为高效柔性电结构的优化设计提供了新的视角，而且为研究具有尺寸效应的机电耦合材料的断裂行为提供了新的框架。
