Bending stiff charged polymers: The electrostatic persistence length [PDF]
EPL (Europhysics Letters), 2016 Many charged polymers, including nucleic acids, are locally stiff. Their bending rigidity -- quantified by the persistence length --, depends crucially on Coulombic features, such as the ionic strength of the solution which offers a convenient experimental route for tuning the rigidity.

Joint Stiffness Identification of a Heavy Kuka Robot with a Low-cost Clamped End-effector Procedure [PDF]
, 2014 This paper proposes two new methods for the identification of static stiffnesses of multi degrees of freedom heavy industrial robots. They are based on a locked link joint procedure obtained with an end-effector fixed to the environment. The first method

Electrostatic layer jamming variable stiffness based on AC waveform regulation
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2023 Abstract As a method to achieve variable stiffness of soft robots, electrostatic layer jamming (ELJ) has the disadvantages of low breakdown strength and a single stiffness control method. In this paper, we propose to replace the air of the traditional ELJ device with giant electrorheological fluid (GERF) and introduce the method of ...
