Numerical study of the mechanical behaviour of rock joints and non-persistent jointed rock masses

, 2014
The mechanical behaviour of a rock mass is significantly controlled by the presence of discontinuities, and understanding the effect of discontinuities is essential in the economical and reliable design of rock structures. This research investigated the effect of roughness and persistency of rock joints on the mechanical behaviour of rock structures ...

Smart Denture with Embedded Thin‐Film Temperature Sensors Patterned by Femtosecond Laser Pulse for Elderly Healthcare

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
We demonstrate the direct‐laser patterning of a gold thin film on polymethyl methacrylate to fabricate a temperature sensor for dentures. The temperature sensor‐embedded smart dentures are evaluated in an oral environment, enabling in‐situ monitoring for elderly healthcare.

Collaborative Visual Localization for Modular Self‐Reconfigurable Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Relative localization in modular self‐reconfigurable robots is challenged by hardware limitations, constrained fields of view, and sensor faults. This paper, based on the SnailBot platform, presents a vision‐based collaborative localization method that combines ArUco markers with learning‐based algorithms to enable robust pose estimation from ...

Study on material point failure probability of complex jointed rock masses based on peridynamics

Scientific Reports
In rock masses, the presence of numerous randomly distributed joints introduces uncertainty, making the prediction of failure paths challenging. Among these, key joints significantly influence rock mass fracturing. This study proposes a peridynamics (PD)

Double Helix Structure for Stable Flexural Actuation in Soft Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a double‐helical architecture for soft robotic actuators that enhances twisting resistance, increases output force, and minimizes undesired deformation. Actuators driven by shape‐memory alloy wires exhibit a roughly fivefold higher torsional/flexural stiffness ratio and 50% greater force output.

A Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model for predicting the clean rock joints shear strength

REM: International Engineering Journal
It is well known that learning about the mechanical behavior of a fractured rock mass depends on the shear behavior of its discontinuities. Several studies have shown that the shear behavior of unfilled rock discontinuities depends on their boundary ...

Adaptive Collision Sensitivity for Efficient and Safe Human–Robot Collaboration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An adaptive collision‐sensitivity framework uses each robot link's effective mass to estimate contact forces online and decide when collaborative robots should stop or continue. Tested on simulated and real UR10e and simulated KUKA arms, it maintains conservative force estimates while reducing unnecessary stops and increasing task productivity. What is

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.
