FlexMat, EarlyView.Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Creep and shrinkage of self compacting concrete of medium-strenght [PDF]
, 2010 Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compacting. SCC, developed in Japan in the 1980s, provides a present-day and attractive challenge for many researchers, as the long list of papers

Prestress loss of post-tensioned clay diaphragm and fin brickwork [PDF]
, 1994 Unlike calcium silicate and concrete block masonry which undergo shrinkage with time, clay brickwork has been known to expand instead. Expansion of brick units in prestressed masonry will cause an increase in the prestressing force instead of prestress ...

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.The “efficacy paradox” of phytochemicals, low bioavailability yet significant health benefits, is associated with gut microbiota, which biotransforms dietary precursors into bioactive metabolites, enabling systemic effects. Thus, health outcomes of diet depend not just on intake “the rainbow”, but on gut microbial metabolism, redefining “you are what ...

Tertiary creep in concrete [PDF]
, 2017 Time dependent concrete fracture is simulated using a rate type creep model coupled with a discrete concrete model. The numerical study uses experimental data, of various tests, three point bending, relaxation, tensile, performed on concrete.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 526-537, June 2025.ABSTRACT Deliberate Practice (DP) is a model of behavioral skill acquisition structured by several key tasks. The past decade has shown a consistent growth in interest in this form of learning for psychotherapy skills, with promising research suggesting DP training is superior to traditional learning methods of psychotherapy. This paper presents a case

Predicted vs Measured Initial Camber in Precast Prestressed Concrete Girders [PDF]
, 2017 Prestressing of concrete is the introduction of permanent internal stresses in a structure or system in order to improve its performance. Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension.

An improved approach for the continuous retardation spectra of concrete creep and applications
Frontiers in MaterialsCreep is an important physical property of concrete and can lead to additional displacement, stress redistribution, and even cracking in concrete structures, inducing prestress loss of large-scale prestressed concrete structures.
