Development of a direct measurement device for the local wall shear stress in boundary layer flows

Journal of Fluid Science and Technology
A new device for direct measurement of the local wall shear stress in boundary layers has been developed with a square friction surface and higher accuracy. The uncertainties were estimated from experiments in boundary layers at moderate Reynolds numbers.

Estimating the skin-friction coefficient in drag-reduced pipe flows of a flexible polymer

Journal of Fluid Mechanics
In turbulent pipe flows, drag-reducing polymers are commonly used to reduce skin-friction drag; however, predicting this reduction in industry applications, such as crude oil pipelines, remains challenging. The skin-friction coefficient ( $C_f$ ) of polymer drag-reduced turbulent pipe flows can be related to three ...

A Standardized Framework for Elastomer Characterization in Soft Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A unified framework addresses inconsistent elastomer property reporting which limits reproducibility and standardization in soft robotics. Systematic testing of ten elastomers (thermosetting, thermoplastic, and a covalent adaptable network) provides quasielastic mechanical properties, viscoelastic parameters, thermal stability, and processing ...

Characteristics, Management, and Utilization of Muscles in Musculoskeletal Humanoids: Empirical Study on Kengoro and Musashi

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Musculoskeletal humanoids exhibit rich biomechanical properties that remain insufficiently unified in prior discussions. This article systematically categorizes muscle characteristics into five properties: redundancy, independency, anisotropy, variable moment arm, and nonlinear elasticity, and analyzes their combined effects on control.
