Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Inflatable kirigami crawlers are fabricated from heat‐sealable textiles and achieve motion through cyclic pneumatic actuation. Strategically placed kirigami cuts guide asymmetric deformation, doubling contraction compared to traditional pouches and forming scale‐like surfaces.

Influence of section depth on the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete continuous deep beams [PDF]
, 2007 YesAlthough the depth of reinforced concrete deep beams is much higher than that of slender beams, extensive existing tests on deep beams have focused on simply supported beams with a scaled depth below 600 mm.

Procedia Engineering, 2015 AbstractIn the course of their service period, concrete structures are exposed to a variety of impacts. A combination of exposure to aggressive effects, poorly constructed structural details, negligence of the durability issues, construction errors and underestimation of the importance of maintenance can lead to a severe damage of reinforced concrete ...

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.

Analysis of the timeâ€dependent behaviour of composite crossâ€sections by Laplaceâ€transform
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2005 Composite structures consisting of precast and cast inâ€situ concrete elements are increasingly common. These combinations demand a mechanical model which takes into account the timeâ€dependent behaviour and analysis of the different ages of the ...

The Deteriorations of Reinforced Concrete and the Option of High Performances Reinforced Concrete
Procedia Engineering, 2015 AbstractThe durability of a reinforced concrete construction could be defined as the ability of the two materials, concrete and the embedded reinforcing steel, to maintain their physical and mechanical performances in satisfactory security conditions during the prescribed service life of the structure and in prescribed working conditions. From this, it

Cellulose‐Based Electrolytes in Rechargeable Zn‐Battery: An Overview
Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.Zn‐ion battery with cellulose‐based electrolyte and diffused cathode such as MnO2 and V2O5 can be actually proposed as a rechargeable system for energy storage from renewable sources such as solar and wind, due to its relevant cycle life and the remarkably competitive low cost.

Exploring Phonon Interference: Insights From a Nano‐Scale Silicon Double Slit Atomistic Simulation
Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.Classical Waves at the Atomic Scale: Molecular Dynamics Reveal Phonon Interference in Silicon Nanostructures. Abstract In this study, the classic double‐slit experiment, originally developed for light waves is successfully adapted, to investigate the behavior of phonons in crystalline silicon.
