Dear Colleagues, Our recent publication on the Journal of Applied Mechanics:
Magnesum ion batteries are an exciting new technology that offer prospects towards significantly higher capacities of electrochemical storage. During discharge, each magnesium 2+ ion which moves through the electrolyte to the cathode results in 2 electrons driven through an electrical circuit, allowing for potentially higher performance in secondary ion batteries.

Dear Colleagues,
We introduce a generalized methodology to uncover all mechanical couplings in 2D lattice geometries by obtaining the decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor. We also correlate the mechanical couplings with the point groups of 2D lattices by applying the symmetry operation to the decoupled micropolar elasticity tensor. The decoupled micropolar constitutive equation reveals eight mechanical coupling effects in planar solids, four of which are discovered for the first time in the mechanics' community.
I would like to draw your attention to our recently proposed predictive method based on a semi-empirical model (LEFM) and Neural Network, exploiting the Physics-informed Machine Learning concept. We show how the accuracy of state-of-the-art fatigue predictive models, based on defects present in materials, can be significantly boosted by accounting for additional morphological features via Physics-Informed Machine Learning.

Highlights
• A finite-deformation crystal-elastic membrane model for TMD monolayers is presented.
• Strains of the middle surface and two normal-stretches describe the deformation.
• The continuum hyperelastic strain energy is obtained from an interatomic potential.
• The present model matches well with the purely atomistic simulations.
Abstract
The homogenized constitutive models that have been utilized to simulate the behavior of nanostructures are typically based on the Cauchy–Born hypothesis, which seeks the fundamental properties of material via relating atomistic information to an assumed homogeneous deformation field. It is well known that temperature has a profound effect on the validity and size-dependency of the Cauchy-Born hypothesis in finite deformations.
