Interpreting Measurements of Small Strain Elastic Shear Modulus under Unsaturated Conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Bender element testing of unsaturated isotropically compacted speswhite kaolin samples was used to investigate the variation of small strain elastic shear modulus G under unsaturated conditions. Testing was performed in a suction-controlled triaxial cell

Three Synchronized, Miniaturized, Wireless Inertial Measurement Unit Sensors for Automated Gait and Balance Analysis System

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a compact, three IMU wearable system that enables accurate motion capture and robust gait‐feature extraction, thereby supporting reliable machine learning‐based balance evaluation. Accurate assessment of balance is critical for fall prevention and targeted rehabilitation, particularly in older adults and individuals with ...

Energy Dissipation and Damage Evolution Characteristics of Shale under Triaxial Cyclic Loading and Unloading

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022
Rock engineering is highly susceptible to cyclic loads resulting from shale gas exploitation; it is very important to study the failure mechanism of underground rock mass under cyclic load.

Rod‐Like PLGA Microrobots with Enhanced Motion and Biodegradation for Magnetic‐Guided Drug Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents drug‐loaded Poly (lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) microrobots fabricated from an oil‐in‐water (O/W) emulsion of PLGA, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and Adriamycin (DOX). They are formed by film‐forming and stretching microrobots, and exhibit motion analyzed via video‐snapshots, speed graphs, and shape changes, advancing targeted for drug ...

Cyclic behaviour and resistance of saturated sand under non-symmetrical loading conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper reports findings from an experimental study that aimed to investigate the undrained behaviour of sand in non-symmetrical cyclic loading, and to clarify the role of initial static shear in liquefaction resistance.

TacEva: A Performance Evaluation Framework for Vision‐Based Tactile Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces TacEva, a unified framework for evaluating vision‐based tactile sensors. It standardizes intrinsic, performance, and robustness metrics through shared experimental procedures and links them to task‐level requirements in robotic manipulation.

New opportunities for bioscaffold‐enabled spinal cord injury repair

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of bioscaffolds for spinal cord injury repair. We summarize the effects of bioscaffold properties on SCI repair, highlight different types of bioscaffolds, various fabrication strategies, and in vivo transformations for the clinical development of SCI‐repairing bioscaffolds.

Portuguese unbound granular materials characterisation using cyclic triaxial tests

open access: yesProceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Transport, 2012
Crushed materials with extensive granulometry – unbound granular materials (UGM) – are often used as unbound granular layers of road pavements, namely as granular sub-base and base. In spite of several studies having already been undertaken, the behaviour of these materials on pavement layers has not been sufficiently characterised, especially due to ...

Modelling strong seismic ground motion: three-dimensional loading path versus wavefield polarization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Seismic waves due to strong earthquakes propagating in surficial soil layers may both reduce soil stiffness and increase the energy dissipation into the soil.
