Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.

Discrete elastic parameters for lattice fracture model with embedded discontinuities
, 2022 This work presents a lattice fracture model [1-3] with a choice of parameters that lead to correct elastic continuum response. This choice of elastic parameters is important for post peak softening behaviour of the model, where correct stiffness of the model influence fracture propagation.

Consistent treatment of shear failure in embedded discrete fracture models using XFVM
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, 2023 AbstractUnderstanding deformations and fluid flow in fractured rocks is of central importance for many subsurface flow applications. Thus, numerical frameworks are needed that capture the coupled mechanical and hydraulic behaviour, including scenarios with complex fracture networks.
