Design and Experimental Validation of a 3D-Printed Embedded-Sensing Continuum Robot for Neurosurgery

open access: yesMicromachines, 2023
A minimally-invasive manipulator characterized by hyper-redundant kinematics and embedded sensing modules is presented in this work. The bending angles (tilt and pan) of the robot tip are controlled through tendon-driven actuation; the transmission of ...

Ultra-compact multimode waveguide bends with arbitrary bending angles

open access: yesOptics Express
Achieving compact waveguide routing with arbitrary configurations is essential for on-chip mode-division multiplexing (MDM) systems to enable higher integration density and more flexible layouts. However, current multimode waveguide bends (MWBs) are limited to 90°, restricting design flexibility.

Modal–Physical Hybrid System Identification of High-rise Building via Subspace and Inverse-Mode Methods

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2017
A system identification (SI) problem of high-rise buildings is investigated under restricted data environments. The shear and bending stiffnesses of a shear-bending model (SB model) representing the high-rise buildings are identified via the smart ...

A Numerical–Experimental Approach for Multi‐Matrix Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Characterization Using Finite Element Model Updating

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.

Characterization of Shock Wave Damages in Explosion Welded Mo/Cu Clads

open access: yesMetals, 2021
The shock wave damage during explosive welding has not been reported in a flyer Mo plate of the Mo/Cu clads. However, it would be an inevitable problem in group VI elements. This study was aimed to characterize the shock wave damage in the Mo plate, that
