Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Short-Hot-Wire Method for Measuring Total Hemispherical Emissivity of a Fine Fiber [PDF]

, 1998
In this paper, a new short-hot-wire method for measuring total hemispherical emissivity of a fine fiber is proposed. This method is based on the theoretical solution of one dimensional steady heat conduction along the hot-wire and fiber.

Microscale Mapping of Fiber Strain and Damage in Composite Wrinkled Laminates Using Computed Tomography Assisted Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines full‐field tomography with diffraction mapping to quantify radial (ε002$\varepsilon _{002}$) and axial (ε100$\varepsilon _{100}$) lattice strain in wrinkled carbon‐fiber specimens for the first time. Radial microstrain gradients (−14.5 µεMPa$\varepsilon \mathrm{MPa}$−1) are found to signal damage‐prone zones ahead of failure, which ...

Design and simulation analysis of a digitally controlled constant temperature hot wire anemometer [PDF]

, 1986
The hot wire anemometer has been used for many years as an effective instrument for measuring average and turbulent wind velocities. Since the hot wire anemometer is a thermal transducer, it is a rather complicated instrument.
