3D‐Printed Titanium Gyroid Scaffold Structure Integrated With Tough Hybrid Materials for Cartilage Replacement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a potential device design for joint cartilage replacement. Silica‐polytetrahydrofuran (SiO2‐PolyTHF) hybrids with customizable mechanical properties were developed to mimic the characteristics of a natural meniscus. These were synthesized through a two‐pot sol–gel hybrid process.

Road Friction Coefficient Estimation For Vehicle Path Prediction [PDF]

Vehicle System Dynamics, 1996
This paper is part of an on-going research toward the development of a lane-departure warning system. The basic concept of the lane- departure warning system is to project vehicle trajectory, and compare with the perceived road geometry to calculate a performance metric termed "time to lane crossing (TLC).

Study on Validity of Maximum Static Friction Coefficient as an Evaluation Value for Skid-Resistance of Pavement Surface

The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering
The skid resistance of a pavement surface is a critical indicator of driving safety, typically quantified by the dynamic friction coefficient measured using a Friction Measurement Vehicle or a Dynamic Friction Tester. The dynamic friction coefficient is

High‐Modulus Skeleton‐Reinforced PDMS Microstamps for Precision Transfer Printing of Microscale Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Elastomeric micropillars bend under contact loading, sliding microscale devices out of alignment during transfer printing. A hybrid PDMS stamp embeds a high‐modulus skeleton within each pillar while retaining a compliant contact surface. The reinforcement confines pillar deformation, suppressing interfacial sliding and preserving array registration on ...
