Reversing a granular flow on a vibratory conveyor

open access: yes, 2003
Experimental results are presented on the transport properties of granular materials on a vibratory conveyor. For circular oscillations of the shaking trough a non-monotonous dependence of the transport velocity on the normalized acceleration is observed.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

The effect of high-frequency torsional impacts on the dynamic response of a drill string in a stick state

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
Stick–slip vibration is common in the oil well drilling process and is detrimental to down-hole equipment and drilling efficiency. In recent years, a new type of drilling technology, torsional impact drilling, has been developed to mitigate the stick ...

A dynamic tactile sensor on photoelastic effect

open access: yes, 2006
Certain photoelastic materials exhibit birefringent characteristics at a very low level of strain. This property of material may be suitable for dynamic or wave propagation studies, which can be exploited for designing tactile sensors.

To “Sketch-a-Scratch” [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A surface can be harsh and raspy, or smooth and silky, and everything in between. We are used to sense these features with our fingertips as well as with our eyes and ears: the exploration of a surface is a multisensory experience.
