Shape‐Memory Alloy Torsion Strips for Soft Robotic Manipulation and Morphing
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.In this research, a dedicated configuration of SMA strip is proposed for soft robotic manipulation and morphing. This configuration has broad application prospects and demonstrates remarkable advantages in soft body joint operations. Mimicking invertebrates, soft robots tend to control each of their body joints to achieve the desired shape changes and ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Insect‐scale crawling robots can traverse confined environments; nevertheless, their functionalities are predominantly restricted to sensing because of challenges in integrating actuated degrees of freedom. Herein, a miniature rotary electrostatic clutch is presented by incorporating cutting patterns in the clutch layer.

Finite Element Analysis of FRP Debonding Failure at the Tip of Flexural/Shear Crack in Concrete Beam [PDF]
, 2013 One of the most common failure modes of strengthened RC beams with externally bonded FRP is intermediate crack (IC) debonding of FRP initiated at the tip of flexural/shear cracks. This study presents a method, using extended finite element method (XFEM),

Effective Material Stiffness in Curved Actuators
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A new actuator effective material stiffness measurement method is created. It produces a new metric called shape actuation modulus with the potential to help design actuators. This method shows that the smaller the curvature of hinge‐shaped actuators, the stiffer they are.
