This research presents a comprehensive numerical simulation study comparing the performance of porous-type and orifice-type aerostatic thrust bearings using ANSYS Fluent. Detailed 3D CAD models were developed to reflect realistic geometries, followed by high-quality meshing and parameterized simulations under varying air film thicknesses, restrictor ...

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Numerical Analysis of Orifice-Type Aerostatic Thrust Bearing [PDF]
This thesis provides the study about an analysis of aerostatic thrust bearing. In a very high-speed machine, regular bearing cannot be used. At very high speed about 300000 rpm to 600000 rpm, typical bearing gets high friction and wear.

Efficient and Robust Standing Postures of Quadruped Robots
A calibrated static framework estimates load, optimizes torques, and adapts posture so quadruped robots stand efficiently and robustly under external payloads, achieving up to 50% lower torque demand. Inspired by the natural posture adjustments of animals under external loading, this article presents an optimization‐based framework for minimizing joint

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling
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.
