Long-term tensile creep behavior and stochastic Larson–Miller life prediction of commercial ABS and HIPS grades for household appliance applications

Polymer Testing
The long-term reliability of styrenic polymers used in household appliances cannot be reliably assessed by mean rupture life alone, as deformation behavior and lifetime distribution may vary simultaneously under different applied stress–temperature ...

NEAT and HyperNEAT Based Design for Soft Actuator Controllers

Since soft robotics are composed of compliant materials, they perform better than conventional rigid robotics in specific fields, such as medical applications. However, the field of soft robotics is fairly new, and the design process of their morphology and their controller strategies has not yet been thoroughly studied.
