Acoustic metamaterial plays a vital role in underwater engineering applications. Here we present a novel tunable underwater metamaterial for ultra-broadband hydroacoustic focusing. The material consists of a soft matrix embedded with cavities that are surrounded by solid shells. The proposed design enables on-demand tuning of the effective acoustic parameters of the composite material through two independent regulation strategies, namely, (i) filling the cavities with different liquids, and (ii) stretching the soft matrix. We develop a theoretical framework for calculating the effective parameters of the material and validate it through finite element simulations and experiments. Our theoretical analysis indicates that the proposed material is able to achieve a widely tunable refraction index while maintaining a high transmission coefficient. In addition, a hydroacoustic focusing functionality is demonstrated using the proposed metamaterials. These findings set the stage for the development of next-generation hydroacoustic materials for underwater communication and acoustic imaging technologies.

Understanding the advantages of combining traditional construction methods and 3D concrete printing is the gateway to the general structural applicability of three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) technology. To further this ob-jective, in this study, 3D-printed concrete is used as permanent formwork for the manufacture of reinforced concrete beams. Different treatment methods for the interfaces between the printed formwork and the cast core concrete, including embedding of shear connectors, entraining of micro-cables, and inclusion of ribs in the 3D printing of the formwork, are explored to improve the integral mechanical capacities of so-called 3D-printed and cast-in-place composite beams. Specifically, flexural behaviors are studied experimentally through ob-servation of damage and failure processes via visualization with the digital image correlation (DIC) method. The mesoscale architecture at the interface between 3D-printed permanent formwork and cast-in-place concrete is investigated through computed tomography (CT) scanning to infer the cooperative bonding mechanisms of different bonding treatment methods. The stress-transfer mech-anism is thus elucidated. The applicability of 3D-printed concrete as permanent formwork is validated in view of a 14.3% increase in the bending capacity from a composite beam with bottom ribs compared to that of a completely cast counterpart. From the experiments, incorporation of shear connectors contributes most to the bonding performance of the formwork-concrete interfaces. Mean-while, interfacial bonding can be enhanced by increasing the roughness of the 3D-printed formwork, interlocking of the formwork with the inner aggregated concrete, or improving the consistency of the elastic and shear moduli of the formwork and cast concrete. In particular, the appropriate thickness of both the formwork and the aggregated concrete as a cover to yield the optimal inte-grated bending capacity of composite beams is derived from the cur

An efficient 3D spatial spectrum prediction method is essential for UAV networks operating in highly heterogeneous spectrum environments, enabling UAVs to proactively navigate toward areas with abundant available spectrum and make decisions to access to idle ones in advance. This paper introduces a novel Multi-Scale Temporal model for 3D spatial spectrum prediction (MST-3DSSP) that comprehensively captures complex correlations across 3D spatial, frequency, and multi-scale temporal domains. Specifically, the proposed model incorporates a 3D Spatial-Frequency Fusion (3DS-FF) module to extract and fuse 3D spatial and frequency features, along with a MultiScale Temporal Extraction (MS-TE) module that combines BiLSTM and Transformer blocks to capture both small scale and large scale temporal dependencies. These two modules enable the model to understand the complex correlations across 3D spatial, frequency, and multi-scale temporal domains, thereby allowing for more accurate spectrum predictions. Extensive experiments on real-world spectrum datasets demonstrate that MST-3DSSP significantly outperforms existing spectrum prediction methods, achieving higher prediction accuracy and reduced errors, thus providing a robust solution for improving spectrum efficiency in UAV networks.
