ACCURATE AND EFFICIENT MODELING OF THE HYSTERETIC BEHAVIOR OF SLIDING BEARINGS

Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2019
This paper presents a uniaxial phenomenological model for the simulation of the hysteretic behavior typically exhibited by sliding bearings deforming along one of their transverse directions under the effect of an axial compressive load. The proposed hysteretic model is able to take into account the dependency of the device restoring force on the ...

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...
