Article Abstract
A highly integrated electromechanical actuator was developed in this article, which aims at fulfilling the requirements of high power-to-weight ratio, high efficiency, high integration and low volume in military equipment. Three different transmission schemes were proposed for the integrated electromechanical actuator according to the differences in integration methods. Comparative analysis was conducted on the specific structures of the integrated electromechanical actuator and the categories and performance of the planetary roller screw, which is the key unit of the integrated electromechanical actuator. An integrated electromechanical actuator was designed based on the project requirements. A mathematical model was established and the system transfer function was derived. Based on this, a simulation model of the position loop system was established using the AMESim software and the effects of some related parameters, such as friction, backlash and stiffness, on the dynamic performance of the system were investigated. The related theory and simulation results were experimentally validated by a self-developed integrated electromechanical actuator research prototype combined with the related test system. The data obtained from the step response tests, sinusoidal response tests and repeat locating accuracy tests indicated that the developed integrated electromechanical actuator prototype is of rapid, accurate and stable position tracking capability.

This work presents an innovative hydrothermal approach for fabricating flexible piezoelectric PZT thin films on 20 μm titanium foil substrates using TiO and SrTiO (STO) interlayers. Three heterostructures (Ti/PZT, Ti/TiO/PZT, and Ti/TiO/STO/PZT) were synthesized to enable low-temperature growth and improve ferroelectric performance for advanced flexible MEMS. Characterizations including XRD, PFM, and P-E loop analysis evaluated crystallinity, piezoelectric coefficient d, and polarization behavior.

Ferroelectrics under suitable electric boundary conditions can present a negative capacitance response, whereby the total voltage drop across the ferroelectric opposes the externally applied bias. When the ferroelectric is in a heterostructure, this behavior yields a voltage amplification in the other elements, an effect that could be leveraged in low-power electronic devices. Interestingly, the mentioned voltage amplification should have an accompanying elastic effect.

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have emerged as leading candidates for artificial muscles in high-performance soft robotics, simultaneously offering large reversible deformations, excellent mechanical compliance, a fast response, and a high energy density. These features make them ideal for broad applications that require versatile adaptability, lightweight construction, and safe human-machine interactions. Despite their potential, their practical implementation remains hindered by several interrelated challenges, including high driving voltages, poor electromechanical stability, limited power density, and inadequate cycling durability.

Polyvinyl chloride gel (PVCg) exhibits versatile electromechanical properties, making it highly promising for soft robots. However, conventional PVCg with excessive plasticizers generates a significant amount of heat and suffers from premature electrical breakdown during electro-induced actuation, seriously limiting its widespread application. Here, a novel strategy is demonstrated to simultaneously regulate the heat generation and improve the electromechanical properties of PVCg by introducing polyvinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate (PVCVA) to fabricate PVCVA gel (PVCVAg).

The industrial application of gas hydrate technology has garnered increasing attention. However, the random hydrate nucleation process and low hydrate growth rate limit its practical use. Mechanical stirring is a traditional method for promoting gas-liquid mass transfer and enhancing hydrate formation kinetics; however, only a single stirring point was provided, resulting in nonuniform and uncontrolled disturbance at the gas-liquid interface.
