Redefining Separator Design and Water Activity for High‐Energy Zinc Batteries Using Covalent Organic Framework

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Device‐level zinc batteries are energy‐limited by the mass/volume of inactive components, while lean‐electrolyte operation triggers interfacial water depletion and unstable kinetics. Here we elucidate lean‐failure mechanisms and develop a COF@PAN functional separator that regulates hydrogen‐bonding networks to manage water activity and accelerate ...

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Vibrational Diagnostics of Rotating Machinery Malfunctions

International Journal of Rotating Machinery, 1995
This paper outlines rotating machinery malfunction diagnostics using vibration data in correlation with operational process data. The advantages of vibration monitoring systems as a part of preventive/predictive maintenance programs are emphasized. After

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.

Multi-objective optimization of the design parameters of texture bottom profiles in a parallel slider

Friction, 2019
In this paper, a square textured parallel slider is considered for a study to improve the hydrodynamic performance of moving parts. The numerical method is employed for the analysis of a square texture with different bottom profiles: flat, triangle T1 ...

TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Modeling and analysis for surface texturing on soft sliders in mixed lubrication

Friction
Experiments have shown that surface texturing can enhance the tribological properties of bearings and seals made of soft materials such as polymers. However, the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood and lack theoretical research.

Natural Frequency of Rotor with Rotor Core.

TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 1991
A rotor core of induction motors consists of many multilayered steel sheets for core which are fixed to a shaft with a shrinkage fit. A bending vibration of rotors with such a rotor core is investigated experimentally. It is shown that the rotor can be modelized by an opening of the multilayered steel sheets and a equivalent Young's modulus of the ...

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...
