Temperature development during sliding on different types of artificial turf for hockey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In the past, hockey players used to get burning and scraping injuries from making a sliding on artificial turf. In order to assess and compare this risk for different surfaces, a sliding tester has been developed, measuring temperature rise during a ...

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.

Sliding without slipping under Coulomb friction: opening waves and inversion of frictional force

open access: yes, 2016
An elastic layer slides on a rigid flat governed by Coulomb's friction law. We demonstrate that if the coefficient of friction is high enough, the sliding localizes within stick-slip pulses, which transform into opening waves propagating at intersonic ...

Advances in Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Intelligent Robotics and Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) integrate molecular anisotropy with electrical functionality to enable programmable actuation and reconfigurable electronics. This review classifies eLCEs into robotic actuators and adaptive electronics, summarizes key actuation mechanisms, and highlights fabrication strategies that bridge materials to ...

Effect of granulated rubber on shear strength of fine-grained sand

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2017
Review of the literature related to the mixture of shredded tire and sand shows that, despite of the increase in shear strength due to addition of tire chips, granulated rubber causes reduction in shear strength of sand. In this study, the shear behavior
