Laminated Rubber Bearing for Seismic Isolation
Kobunshi, 2008 Seismic isolation system has absorbed much attention for a building construction method against earthquake road or buildings and badges. Laminated rubber bearing is an essential device of the seismic isolation system, which has a multi-layer ed structure composing of thin rubber sheets and steel plates.

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Development of Heat Engines Powered by Twisted and Coiled Polymer Fiber Actuators
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Continuously rotating engines driven by thermally responsive actuating materials can turn waste heat into useful energy. For the first time heat engines operated by twisted and coiled polymer fiber actuators are demonstrated with engine design guided by two simple analytical models.

Adhesive Double‐Network Granular Organogel E‐Skin
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We introduce a double‐network granular organogel adhesive for electronic skin, overcoming adhesion and strength trade‐offs. It provides reversible, robust bonding and ionic conductivity, enabling wearable and soft robotic e‐skin. Thanks to the e‐skin adhesive, a soft robotic trunk can recognize touch, temperature, humidity, and acidity.

Research on Engineering Structures and MaterialsCivil engineering structures are susceptible to natural calamities such as earthquakes, floods, and strong winds. Base isolation is a proven method for protecting structures during earthquakes. It involves inserting a flexible layer between the foundation and superstructure to isolate the structure from earthquakes, thereby changing the system's ...

RUBBER BEARINGS FOR DOWN-HOLE PUMPS [PDF]
, 2005 Synopsis of project activity: 1998--Awarded cost share grant from DOE. 1st Qtr 1999--Developed fail safe lubricating system. 2nd Qtr 1999--Performed first large scale test with nitrile based bearings. It failed due to material swelling. Failure was blamed on improper tolerance.
