Designing Vibrotactile Widgets with Printed Actuators and Sensors [PDF]
, 2017 Physical controls are fabricated through complicated assembly of parts requiring expensive machinery and are prone to mechanical wear. One solution is to embed controls directly in interactive surfaces, but the proprioceptive part of gestural interaction

Control of a multi-degree of freedom worktool for vibrations assisted forging [PDF]
, 2014 This paper addresses the control of a tool developed to superimpose vibrations along several directions on a piece during forging. Piezoelectric actuators are used to provide the required forces and speeds.

Feasibility of a Dielectric Elastomer Augmented Aorta
Advanced Science, 2021 Although heart transplantation is a gold standard for severe heart failure, there is a need for alternative effective therapies. A dielectric‐elastomer aorta is used to augment the physiological role of the aorta in the human circulatory system.

Flow-Ratio Monitoring in a Microchannel by Liquid-Liquid Interface Interferometry
Proceedings, 2017 A new method to monitor the relative flow rates of two different liquids in a microchannel is presented. By using a simple out-of-plane interferometer setup, shifts in the position of the interface between the two liquids can be determined.

An extended actuator cylinder model: Actuator‐in‐actuator cylinder (AC‐squared) model [PDF]
Wind Energy, 2019 AbstractIn this paper, the actuator‐in‐actuator cylinder (AC‐squared) model is presented. This model is an extension of the original actuator cylinder model of Madsen and is capable of modelling the effect of a two concentric actuation surfaces in 2D. The induced velocity at every point in the 2D field is affected by the force field acting on the two ...
