Elimination of Necking and Aspect Ratio Dependence in Uniaxial Actuators by Continuous Fiber Reinforcement

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel carbon fiber reinforcement for dielectric elastomer actuators enhances actuation force while decoupling electromechanical performance from the actuator's aspect ratio. Unlike conventional fiber reinforcements, it enables a uniform planar stretch state along the entire actuator.

Indebted Abbots: The Impact of Lordly Demand on the Late Medieval Rural Economy in Northeast Scotland

Jahrbuch für Wirtschaftsgeschichte
Scottish historiography often describes late medieval Scotland as experiencing socio-economic stagnation while at the same time witnessing a shift from feudal to post-feudal lordship. This paper reevaluates that interpretation through a case study of the

Multi-Period Rent-Seeking Contests with Carryover: Theory and Experimental Evidence [PDF]

The majority of theoretical and experimental research stemming from Tullock’s (1980) model of rent-seeking considers static, single-period contests. This paper contributes to a growing body of research on multi-period rent-seeking contests by developing ...

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.
