Pre‐Curved Everting Robots With Embedded Steering Intelligence Fabricated by CO2 Laser Welding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Design and experimental demonstration of a laser welded growing robot for anatomically guided navigation. The robot follows an aortic arch phantom entering the branchiocephalic branch through steering by design. The figure shows the physical phantom setup, CAD defined weld geometry and full robot eversion.

One‐Shot Multimaterial 3D Printing of a Flexible Spine for a Robotic Fish Prototype

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A one‐shot multimaterial 3D printing approach enables a monolithic soft robotic fish integrating a compliant spine and rigid vertebrae. Electromagnetic linear actuators drive tendon‐based transmission, producing controlled tail oscillations. Finite element modeling and experiments show strong agreement, while optimized material selection improves ...

Repeatability and Parasitic Out‐of‐Plane Motion in Controlled Rocking Structures With Cylindrical Columns: Results From Triaxial Shake Table Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

Creation of a Landslide Susceptibility Map Using Short‐Term Data From the July 2018 Heavy Rainfall in Southern Hiroshima Prefecture

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

Investigation of microstructural match at friction welded TC17/TA19 interface based on β reconstruction under various frictional linear speeds

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
TC17 (α+β titanium alloy) and TA19 (near-α titanium alloy) are often joined in aerospace compressor rotors by rotary friction welding, but their differing phase transformation behaviors cause a mismatched microstructure at the weld interface.

Liquid Crystal Elastomers Filaments for Adaptive Textiles and Soft Robotics: A Processing‐Centric Review

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Rotary friction welding applied to Cu11.8Al0.45Be shape memory alloy

Journal of Advanced Joining Processes
The feasibility of welding a CuAlBe SMA by continuous drive friction welding was evaluated. The metallurgical state (annealed/quenched) before welding and frictional pressure (5 and 10 MPa) were varied and their effects on joint quality were analyzed ...

Nonwoven rCF/PA6 Thermoplastic Composites: Hybrid Commingled Fibers vs. Powder Impregnation—Effects on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Comparison of powder impregnation and hybrid commingled non‐wovens for PA6/rCF nonwoven composites. The two‐step powder route gives lower voids and higher properties, while the single‐step hybrid route is limited by precursor inhomogeneity and high void content.

Experimental Thermal Analysis in Rotary Friction Welding of Dissimilar Materials [PDF]

Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2019
Rotary friction welding process (RFW) is one of the most used processes in the world for manufacturing bimetallic components that require high mechanical strength. All process occurs in solid state at temperatures below the melting point of the involved materials, having as the main bonding mechanisms the diffusion and mechanical mixture.
