Piezoresistivity Enhancement by Graphite Flake Alignment in Thin Composite Films for Dielectric Elastomer Switches

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A simulation‐driven framework for autonomous bulldozer leveling is presented, combining high‐fidelity terramechanics simulation with a neural‐network‐based reduced‐order model. Gradient‐based optimization enables efficient, low‐level blade control that balances leveling quality and operation time.

A discontinuous smooth particle hydrodynamics method for modeling deformation and failure processes of fractured rocks

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
A discontinuous smoothed particle hydrodynamics (DSPH) method considering block contacts is originally developed to model the cracking, frictional slip and large deformation in rock masses, and is verified by theoretical, numerical and/or experimental ...

Comparison of Finite Volume Method and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic in Modeling of Flow over Sharp-Crested Weir [PDF]

مهندسی منابع آب, 2018
This study presents a new hybrid algorithm for treating solid wall boundaries in the context of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) model. In this way, the basic concept is to fill an impervious region with some layers of dummy particles for improving ...

A Plug‐and‐Play Volume Minimizing Micromixer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microscale fluid mixing has numerous applications where rapid and efficient mixing is required, including drug discovery, bio‐analysis and point‐of‐care diagnostics. Conventional soft lithography processes, however, make the integration of robust and reliable mixing difficult to implement in practice, especially across different flow rates ...

NIR‐Activatable Domino Cascade Catalysis Nanozyme Reactor for Multi‐Mechanism Synergistic Immunotherapy in Bladder Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an intravesical delivery strategy of ferroptosis‐ and immunity‐inducing nanozyme‐loaded thermoresponsive hydrogels (FMCC@PNH) for enhanced bladder cancer therapy. Abstract Current intravesical therapies for bladder cancer after resection are limited by poor tissue penetration, off‐target effects, and insufficient efficacy.
