Optically trapped and driven paddle-wheel [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2013 We demonstrate the control and rotation of an optically trapped object, an optical paddle-wheel, with the rotation direction normal to the beam axis. This is in contrast to the usual situation where the rotation is about the beam axis.

Net traction of a driven wheel as affected by slippage, velocity and wheel load
Journal of the Saudi Society of Agricultural Sciences, 2015 The objective was to assess the effect of velocity at three levels (i.e. 0.8, 1 and 1.2 m/s), slippage at three levels (i.e. 10, 12 and 15%) and three levels of wheel load (i.e.

A Parameter-Driven Methodology of Wheel Flat Modeling for Wheel–Rail Impact Dynamics
Applied SciencesA wheel flat is a typical wheel defect that significantly impacts the wheel–rail system, posing substantial challenges to vehicle operation safety. In the existing literature, the wheel flat plane model does not account for the contribution of the width ...

Geometry-Encoded Actuation as a Structural Interaction Layer in Origami Robots. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)We present geometry‐encoded actuation (GEA), a design framework that integrates multistable origami with liquid crystal elastomer actuators to encode environmental interactions into autonomous structural responses. GEA enables programmable shape transformation without continuous sensing or complex control, achieving robust adaptive manipulation and ...

Modelling the Dynamic Behaviour of the Wheel-Rail Interface by Using a Novel 3D Wheel-Rail Contact Model [PDF]
, 2011 Methods for multibody modelling and simulation should accurately replicate the dynamic behaviour of rail-wheel interface including precise values for wheel-rail contact positions. This paper studies the development of a novel 3-D wheel-rail contact model

On the near wake of a Formula One front wheel [PDF]
, 2013 Velocity measurements were made in the near wake of the front wheel of a Formula One car using a laser Doppler anemometer. Tests were carried out on a 50% scale in a closed-return three-quarter open-jet wind tunnel. Three configurations were investigated
