Splitting Tensile Strength of Concrete Under Temperature Differences

open access: yesDEStech Transactions on Materials Science and Engineering, 2017
The concrete shotcrete layer of the tunnel in the high-temperature field during construction exist in significant temperature difference environment caused by the one side of the shotcrete layer in contact with higher temperature rock, and the other side is in contact with the lower temperature air.

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.
