Optimization of Structural Parameters and Cavitation Suppression in Control Valves Based on P-WOA [PDF]
Journal of Applied Fluid MechanicsA control valve is a critical component in water supply systems, controlling pressure, flow, and direction. However, cavitation, caused by low pressure in the valve cavity, disrupts flow and leads to cavitation damage, vibration, and noise, affecting ...

Wearable Metamaterials with Embodied Intelligence for Programmable Control of Human Limbs Tremor
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Resulting from alternating muscle contractions, tremors can severely limit human ability to perform everyday tasks like walking or talking, due to their disruptive nature. Medication and surgery may not always effectively address tremor control. A wearable device embodying programmable smart metamaterials with adaptable intelligence to meet the demand ...

Separation and Surface Nuclei Effects in a Cavitation Susceptibility Meter [PDF]
, 1991 This work is concerned with the effects of flow separation and surface nuclei on the operation of a fixed geometry Cavitation Susceptibility Meter (CSM) with laminar flow. Cavitation is induced under controlled conditions at the throat of a glass venturi

Contact Force Estimation of Continuum Robots without Embedded Sensors: A Review
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This review surveys methods for estimating contact forces in continuum robots without embedded sensors. It explains why contact force matters, classifies force patterns, and groups existing methods into three approaches based on actuation, deformation, and environment information.

Effect of a surface shear layer on gravity and gravity–capillary waves of permanent form [PDF]
, 1990 Calculations are carried out of the shape of gravity and gravity–capillary waves on deep water in the presence of a thin sheet of uniform vorticity which models the effect of a wind drift layer.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.The Jump‐Enhancing Textile Suit integrates the Pneumatic Energy‐Storing Propulsion Actuator (PESPA) and the Triarticular Kinetic‐Chained Structure (TKiCS). PESPA stores elastic energy under pneumatic pressure and releases it during the propulsive phase to augment movement.
