The Aristotelian Heritage in Early Naval Architecture. From the Venice Arsenal to the French Navy, 1500-1700

open access: yesTheoria, 2010
This paper examines the Aristotelian roots of the mechanics of naval architecture, beginning with Mechanical Problems, through its various interpretations by Renaissance mathematicians including Vettor Fausto and Galileo at the Venice Arsenal, and ...

Kinematics in the Information Age

open access: yesMathematics, 2018
Modern kinematics derives directly from developments in the 1700s, and in their current instantiation, have been adopted as standard realizations…or templates that seem unquestionable.

Thermodynamics for Trajectories of a Mass Point [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
On the basis of information theory, a new formalism of classical non-relativistic mechanics of a mass point is proposed. The particle trajectories of a general dynamical system defined on an (1+n)-dimensional smooth manifold are treated geometrically as ...

Measuring the lung function in the mouse: the challenge of size

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2003
Measurement of the effects of drugs, mediators and infectious agents on various models of lung disease, as well as assessment of lung function in the intact mouse has the potential for significantly advancing our knowledge of lung disease.

Cellulose Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019
In this review, we highlight the importance of nanostructure of cellulose-based biomaterials to allow cellular adhesion, the contribution of nanostructure to macroscale mechanical properties, and several key applications of these materials for ...

Experimental Investigation on Integrated Subsurface Monitoring of Soil Slope Using Acoustic Emission and Mechanical Measurement

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Compared with slope surface measurement, subsurface monitoring has the potential to detect abnormal changes at an earlier stage. Due to the large-scale deformation of landslides and the complex geological environment, the existing subsurface devices ...

Simultaneous radiation pressure induced heating and cooling of an opto-mechanical resonator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Cavity opto-mechanics enabled radiation-pressure coupling between optical and mechanical modes of a micro-mechanical resonator gives rise to dynamical backaction, enabling amplification and cooling of mechanical motion. Due to a combination of large mechanical oscillations and necessary saturation of amplification, the noise floor of the opto ...

Differential Spiral Joint Mechanism for Coupled Variable Stiffness Actuation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
In this study, we present the Differential Spiral Joint (DSJ) mechanism for variable stiffness actuation in tendon-driven robots. The DSJ mechanism semi-decouples the modulation of position and mechanical stiffness, allowing independent trajectory tracking in different parameter space. Past studies show that increasing the mechanical stiffness achieves

On the Determination of Mechanical Properties of Aqueous Microgels—Towards High-Throughput Characterization

open access: yesGels, 2021
Aqueous microgels are distinct entities of soft matter with mechanical signatures that can be different from their macroscopic counterparts due to confinement effects in the preparation, inherently made to consist of more than one domain (Janus particles)
