Estimation of Impact Hardness of Rocks by Means of Drop Hammer Test.
The impact hardness of rock is normally determined by using a ‘Protodyakonov’ type drop hammer. However, this test cannot be applied to a wide range of rocks. Therefore, standardized impact hardness test using the ‘Protodyakonov’ type drop hammer was carried out and the correlati ons of the resulting values of impact hardness with the mechanical ...

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

Performance Study of a Fluidic Hammer Controlled by an Output-Fed Bistable Fluidic Oscillator
Using a no-moving-component output-fed bistable fluidic oscillator to control fluid flows into a parallel path has been recognized for a considerable time, but as yet it is not so widely adopted as its obvious benefits would deserve.
