Experimental-numerical analysis of added resistance to container ships under presence of wind-wave loads.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Experimental and numerical analyses performed on a scaled-down model of a 1900TEU container-ship are reported herein. Wind-tunnel and towing-tank experiments along with computational-fluid-dynamic simulations were performed to obtain (1) wind-load ...

Tuned liquid dampers simulation for earthquake response control of buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper is focused on the study of an earthquake protection system, the Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD), which can, if adequately designed, reduce earthquake demands on buildings. This positive effect is accomplished taking into account the oscillation of

Erosion of granular sediments by submerged impinging jets: Particle size effects and cohesion onset

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the erosion behavior and modeling of glass particle beds under impinging jet conditions, with a focus on particle size effects and the onset of cohesion. Ultrasonic profiling is implemented to scan and measure static crater profiles.

Intelligent Operator‐Independent Flexibility in Robotic Non‐Destructive Evaluation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Non‐destructive evaluation of high‐value components remains a manufacturing bottleneck due to rigid robotic calibration and fixturing. This study presents a flexible, adaptable system integrating 3D vision and force‐position control with a collaborative KUKA LBR robot. The geometry‐agnostic system enables pose‐independent ultrasonic inspection, detects

Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...

Electrohydrodynamic Fiber Pump With Dual‐Flow Channels

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A dual‐channel electrohydrodynamic (EHD) fiber pump is introduced, which enables fluid flow inside and outside fully exposed helical electrodes. The dual‐channel design significantly enhances flow rate, pressure, and efficiency compared with the conventional design.
