Crystal plasticity simulation of the effect of grain size on the fatigue behavior of polycrystalline Inconel 718

open access: yes, 2018
A microstructure-based model that accounts for the effect of grain size has been developed to study the effect of grain size on the fatigue life of Inconel 718 alloys.

Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.

Efficient fe strategies for springback prediction – material modelling and computational aspects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Blanks of sheet metal are characterized by an intrinsic plastic anisotropic behaviour resulting from the plastic deformation during the rolling of sheets. Another type of anisotropy is elastic anisotropy which might be essential especially during elastic

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

A MODIFIED SHAKEDOWN ANALYSIS FOR KINEMATIC HARDENING PIPING UNDER THERMAL-MECHANICAL LOAD

open access: yesJixie qiangdu, 2020
Shakedown analysis is a powerful tool for the ratchet & alternating plasticity prediction of the pressure piping under thermal-mechanical loads. In order to achieve the shakedown analysis containing the synergetic influence of the kinematic hardening and

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Kinematic and isotropic strain hardening in copper with highly aligned nanoscale twins

open access: yesMaterials Research Letters, 2018
The kinematic and isotropic strain hardening was investigated in columnar-grained copper with preferentially oriented nanoscale twins deformed at two different strain rates of 5 × 10−5 and 5 × 10−3 s−1.
