TL;DR: In this paper, a novel asymmetric nanocylinder is composed of functionally graded materials presented with uniform pressures on the top surface to create a relatively large inhomogeneous strain field for the achievement of obvious flexoelectric polarization.

TL;DR: In this paper, a beam-like semiconductor made by functionally graded (FG) flexoelectric materials was studied and the authors derived the complicated mutual coupling governing equations and associated boundary conditions strictly.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors theoretically and numerically study a beam-shaped FS laminated composite subjected to pure bending loads and find that the strain gradients can exhibit a strong size-dependent effect and are quite sensitive to structural asymmetry and material parameters.

TL;DR: High-efficiency mechanical memory storage enabled by magnetic poles enabled kirigami meta-structure. The device stores information bits exponentially larger than previous designs by leveraging the deformation sequences of the kirigami module and combinatorics of the deformation independences among the cylindrical kirigami unit arrays.
