Behavior of stainless steel–reinforced concrete piers under lateral impact loading

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
In this study, stainless steel bars with the same diameter were used to replace ordinary stressed steel bars in reinforced concrete bridge piers. An ultra-high drop hammer impact test system was adopted for multiple horizontal impact tests on two groups ...

Identifying Physical Interactions in Contact‐Based Robot Manipulation for Learning from Demonstration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robots can learn manipulation tasks from human demonstrations. This work proposes a versatile method to identify the physical interactions that occur in a demonstration, such as sequences of different contacts and interactions with mechanical constraints.

An Estimation of Error-Free Frequency Response Function from Impact Hammer Testing

JSME International Journal Series C, 2004
The spectrum of impulse response signal from the impact hammer testing is widely used to obtain the frequency response function (FRF). However the FRFs obtained from the impact hammer testing have not only leakage errors but also finite record length errors when the record length for the signal processing is not sufficiently long.

FiN‐Kiri: Fabric‐Based Inflatable Kirigami Actuator for Multimodal Soft Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a type of inflatable fabric‐based kirigami actuator capable of performing bending motion. The actuator is utilized as soft grippers, a crawling robot and a swimming robot. The crawling robot demonstrated extraordinary motion capabilities, such as moving forward, turning and navigating a narrow tunnel.

Visualizing and Quantifying Impact with Mechanochromic Sensing Paints Based on Self‐Assembled Polydiacetylene‐Silk Core‐Shell Vesicles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tracking physical impacts is important in many fields. Self‐assembled microparticles made from polydiacetylene and silk fibroin that change color from blue to red when hit can provide an alternative approach to traditional mechanical transducers, quantitatively visualizing impact with responses ranging from <100 to 770 N.

Thermally Induced Creep and Viscoelastic Behavior of Copper Micropillar Arrays

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Copper micropillar arrays are fabricated by electrodeposition within through‐glass‐via, and their thermally induced time‐dependent deformation is quantified. Nanoindentation creep, EBSD, and TEM reveal a heat‐treatment‐driven transition between grain‐boundary‐mediated deformation and dislocation‐dominated creep, while Kelvin modeling captures ...

Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Polymerization

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Acceptor‐less dehydrogenative polymerization (ADP) enables the atom‐economic step‐growth synthesis of different type of polymers directly from simple alcohols, releasing H2 as the sole by‐product. This review outlines the mechanistic foundations, catalytic systems, and emerging polymer architectures of ADP, highlighting its potential as a sustainable ...
