The surface flatness of single-layer islands deposition is essential for high-quality multi-layer component deposition and the stability of the Laser metal deposition (LMD) manufacturing process. The aspect ratio of single-track deposition and the overlap rate are critical factors influencing the flatness of single-layer island deposition. Existing methods for determining the optimal overlap rate, whether through experimental approaches or simplified recursive overlap models, still suffer from long development cycles and limited accuracy. In this study, a generalized, efficient and reliable model for predicting the optimal overlap rate only using the aspect ratio of the single-track deposition as the input parameter was developed after fully understanding the influence of the aspect ratio and overlap rate on the morphology, stacking effect and flatness of single-layer islands. Besides, a prediction model for the height of the single-layer island, based on the input parameters of the aspect ratio and the overlap rate has also been developed. Further, verification datasets from different experimental batches and materials were used to validate the accuracy and generalizability of the island height prediction model. The validation results indicated that the relative error between the predicted and actual values was less than 10%. The single-track aspect ratio can be directly used to guide the LMD multi-layer component deposition, regardless of the combination of powder and substrate materials, using these reliable and generalized prediction models for the optimal overlap rate and the island height developed in current study. The single-layer island deposition stage was completely eliminated, thereby significantly shorten the development cycle and reduce the cost of LMD process parameter development.

Endocytosis is a mechanosensitive process. It involves remodeling of the plasma membrane from a flat shape to a budded morphology, often at the sub-micrometer scale. This remodeling process is energy-intensive and is influenced by mechanical factors such as membrane tension, membrane rigidity, and physical properties of cargo and extracellular surroundings. The cellular responses to a variety of mechanical factors by distinct endocytic pathways are important for cells to counteract rapid and extreme disruptions in the mechanohomeostasis of cells. Recent advances in microscopy and mechanical manipulation at the cellular scale have led to new discoveries of mechanoregulation of endocytosis by the aforementioned factors. While factors such as membrane tension and membrane rigidity are generally shown to inhibit endocytosis, other mechanical stimuli have complex relationships with endocytic pathways. At this juncture, it is now possible to utilize experimental techniques to interrogate theoretical predictions on mechanoregulation of endocytosis in cells and even living organisms.
