Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Peculiarities of structural properties of masonry from hollow block units and their estimation/Mūro iš tuštymėtų blokelių konstrukcinių savybių ypatumai ir jų įvertinimas

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2001
Performed analyses of investigations have shown that properties of masonry from hollow blocks depend on many factors, and on material type and shape of the blocks including.

Techno‐Economic Analysis of Polylactic Acid from Corn Stover: Understanding Uncertainty and Variability via Artificial Intelligence Tools

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study analyses the uncertainty and variability existing in the economic performance of polylactic acid (PLA) production, via integrating techno‐economic analysis with process models and Monte Carlo simulation enabled by artificial intelligence. The results show that the minimum selling price varies from $2,107 to $3076/t PLA.

Analysis of the time‐dependent behaviour of composite cross‐sections by Laplace‐transform

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2005
Composite structures consisting of precast and cast in‐situ concrete elements are increasingly common. These combinations demand a mechanical model which takes into account the time‐dependent behaviour and analysis of the different ages of the ...

Tests of continuous concrete slabs reinforced with basalt fibre reinforced plastic bars [PDF]

, 2017
yesThis paper presents experimental results of three continuously supported concrete slabs reinforced with basalt-fibre-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars. Three different BFRP reinforcement combinations of over and under reinforcement ratios were applied at

Capillary Dynamics Analysis of Millimetric Tubes for Anti‐Slip Surfaces: A Phase‐Field Based Finite Element Approach and Experimental Validation

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
Phase‐field method based numerical modelling of the capillary rise in millimeter‐sized tubes, aiming for anti‐slip applications. The experimental validation was performed through capillary assays in polyethylene oxide (PEO) bulk modified polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channels.

A fracture-mechanics model for debonding of external fibre reinforced polymer plates on reinforced concrete beams

, 2006
A Fracture-mechanics model for debonding of external fibre reinforced polymer plates on reinforced concrete beams is presented. The conventional methods of concrete-FRP interface analysis use finite element models, which require details of unknown and ...

Nurr1 Orchestrates Claustrum Development and Functionality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nurr1 (Nr4a2) is the master transcription factor to control claustrum morphogenesis and cell fate decision postmitotically by inhibiting intracellular G‐protein signaling. Nurr1 deficiency alters the transcriptomic profiles of subcortical claustral neurons into neocortical insular neurons, resulting in defected claustrum development, impaired axonal ...
