All‐in‐One Underwater Quality Evaluation Metamaterial With Mechanical Robustness, Sound Attenuation, and Diffuse Reflection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, a bioinspired all‐in‐one underwater quality evaluation metamaterial, combining sound attenuation, diffuse reflection, and mechanical robustness, is proposed based on jumping spider locomotion and human skeletal biomechanics. Meanwhile, a CNN‑driven quality evaluation framework is established for theoretically dimension‐reduced ...

Numerical analysis of reinforced concrete shear keys in immersion joints

open access: yes, 2017
Immersion joints are susceptible to be damaged first under various loadings due ito their smaller stiffhess compared to the adjacent tunnel elements. The induced Ideformations and the forces in the joint are transferred by shear keys.

Modelling of SFRC using inverse finite element analysis

open access: yes, 2006
A method of inverse finite element analysis is used to determine the constitutive relationship of SFRC in tension, using primary experimental data. Based on beam bending test results and results from pull-out tests, an attempt is made to explain the ...

Robust and Thermally Stable Silicone Aerogels with Hyperconnected Network via Kinetically Optimized Hyperbranched Silane Precursors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Reactivity‐Programmed Assembly: A kinetic‐control strategy is reported for constructing hyperconnected silicone aerogels with a robust “thick‐neck” architecture. By exploiting the reactivity disparity of precursors, flexible segments are uniformly embedded within a rigid skeleton.

Un abaque à Delphes

open access: yesBulletin de correspondance hellénique, 2009
Ένας άβακας στους Δελφούς Πάνω σε ένα λίθο, γνωστό εδώ και πολύ καιρό λόγω μιας επιγραφής (FD III, 4, 189) και τοποθετημένο στο νότιο άνδηρο, στη ΝΑ γωνία του ναού του Απόλλωνα, βλέπουμε δύο σειρές γραμμών και δύο ημικύκλια που εφάπτονται σε δύο από τις γραμμές και τα οποία, από όσο γνωρίζουμε, δεν είχαν επισημανθεί μέχρι σήμερα.

Bioinspired Morphology‐Decoupled Soft Gripper with Enhanced Bidirectional Grasping Capability

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by biological predation, a novel gripper decouples cross‐modal grasping via dual morphological configurations. Synergistically integrating hybrid rigid and soft coupled fingers with a metamaterial palm, the system performs active compliant grasping for static objects and passive cage capture for dynamic targets.
