Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.

Structural Stability and Mechanical Analysis of PVC Pipe Jacking under Axial Force
BuildingsPVC pipe jacking is prone to cause yielding or buckling under the jacking force and may lead to engineering failure. The relationship between the buckling modes, ultimate bearing capacity, different diameter–thickness ratios, and length–diameter ratios ...

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Mode Localization in Dynamics and Buckling of Linear Imperfect Continuous Structures [PDF]
Nonlinear Dynamics, 2001 Localization phenomena in one-dimensional imperfect continuous structures is analyzed by using perturbation method (generalization of WKB method in which the spatial variable appears as a parameter). It is shown that strong localization is due to the turning points in which purely imaginary characteristic exponent assume a non zero real part.

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Mode-Reduction Applied to Initial Post-Buckling Behavior
, 1994 This paper presents a perturbation approach for analyzing the (initial) post-buckling behavior of elastic structures. In this perturbation a small number of buckling modes is taken into account. This approach results in a potential energy function which is defined in terms of amplitudes of the selected modes.
