Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Damage Analysis and Evaluation of Light Steel Structures Exposed to Wind Hazards

Applied Sciences, 2017
Compared to hot-rolled steel structures, cold-formed steel structures are susceptible to extreme winds because of the light weight of the building and its components.

Generating NURBS cladding and structures with parametric programming and BIM

PARC: Pesquisa em Arquitetura e Construção, 2020
The process of designing and building curvilinear architectures is still challenging. The use of multiple applications with distinctive design paradigms are unlikely to disappear. The interoperability used here was not only the conventional one.

Simultaneous, independent measurement of temperature and strain using a tilted fibre Bragg grating [PDF]

, 2007
A single fibre Bragg grating is used to discriminate between temperature and strain by exploiting the core-cladding mode coupling of a tilted fibre Bragg grating (TFBG).

Breaking the Bottleneck in Limit of Detection of Surface Refractive Index Sensing by Harnessing Meta‐Waveguide Microring Resonators

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mode splitting in meta‐waveguide microring resonators (MWMRs) effectively suppresses baseline drift and measurement noise while maintaining high refractive‐index sensitivity. This reflection‐induced mode splitting strategy enables quantitative detection of ultra‐weak surface perturbations and establishes MWMRs as a robust, drift‐immune platform for ...
