Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

An alternative method for predicting internal friction angle of rock materials
AbstractThe shear strength properties of rock materials, cohesion and internal friction angle, are determined by carrying out tri-axial strength test on cylindrical core specimens in laboratory. But determination of these parameters by triaxial tests in accordance with standards and suggested methods, particularly for weak, fractured and weathered ...

Flexoelectrically Induced Polar Topology in Twisted SrTiO3 Membranes
Twisted SrTiO3 bilayers host polar vortices of flexoelectric origin, revealed through combined experiment and theory. By reconstructing polarization from the toroidal moment of strain gradients, the work establishes a 3D chiral state with broken inversion and mirror symmetries.

The Cohesion and Angle of Internal Friction and the Change of These Values in the Landslide Face
The clay layer in the landslide face is about 3mm thick. Accordingly, the constants of shearing strength are as follows;c'≈0.φ'>0The reason is that the shearing conditions of sliding face are not consolidated-undrained but consolidateddrained. Therefore, the safety factor of landslide face can be expressed as;Fs=tanφ'∑ (W cos θ-uw) /∑W sin θThe pore ...

INTERRELATION OF SHEAR ANGLES, EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FRICTION DURING CHIP FORMATION
The aim is to develop a methodology for graph-analytical calculation of the shear angle during the formation of chips for the case when the initial data are reliable empirical dependencies for the components of the cutting force. The research methodology is based on the application of elements of cutting theory to the scheme of chip formation and the ...

Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.
