Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

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.

Rubber bearings in base-isolated structures
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1991 The paper discusses the use of rubber bearings in base isolated structures. In Japan alone there are likely to be 100 base-isolated buildings completed by the end of 1994 all of which will be on rubber bearings [Ref 1.2]. A distinction is drawn between the use of rubber bearings in bridges where they are subject to both the fatigue of traffic loading ...

Natural Rubber/Styrene–Butadiene Rubber Blend Composites Potentially Applied in Damping Bearings
PolymersNatural rubber (NR) composites have been widely applied in damping products to reduce harmful vibrations, while rubber with only a single composition barely meets performance requirements. In this study, rubber blend composites including various ratios of NR and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) were prepared via the conventional mechanical blending ...
