Intrinsic Mechanical Parameters and their Characterization in Solid‐State Lithium Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 11, March 18, 2025.
This review focuses on the intrinsic mechanical parameters and their associated characterization in solid‐state batteries. The physical significance of mechanics parameters is introduced with exhaustive classifications by elastic, plastic deformations and fracture in bulk, adhesion, friction at interfaces, and mechanical fatigue in cells ...

Design Optimization of Soft Fabric Pneumatic Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a systematic optimization framework for elongating and bending fabric‐based soft pneumatic actuators. After a preliminary design‐space reduction, the framework minimizes energy consumption under mechanical performance constraints by integrating validated finite element modeling with statistical surrogate models. Optimal designs were

Lab‐Scale Fabrication Process Selection for Soft Robotics: Benchmarking, Tradeoffs, and Guidelines for Formative Manufacturing of Soft Silicone Components

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabrication shapes soft robot performance, but benchmarking data and selection guidelines remain scarce. We fabricate silicone actuators using two molding techniques and three mold types, characterizing them with cycle testing, microscopy, profilometry, and 3D imaging. Applying our lab‐scale, soft robotics‐specific fabrication evaluation criteria shows

Adaptive Coordinated Path Tracking Control Strategy for Autonomous Vehicles with Direct Yaw Moment Control

Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2022
It is a striking fact that the path tracking accuracy of autonomous vehicles based on active front wheel steering is poor under high-speed and large-curvature conditions.

Crease‐Encoded Soft Origami Chambers: A Unified Design‐to‐Fabrication Framework for Low‐Pressure Pneumatic Joints

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Origami turns a single silicone chamber into three different soft fluidic actuators. Crease angles alone decide whether it elongates, bends, or twists, and the fully folded chambers are cast monolithically in one day. Below 15 kPa, they reach 268% axial stretch, 72° bending, and 55° twist—no strain‐limiting layers, no rigid reinforcements, no vacuum ...

Dissecting the dissection laboratory: Elements for designing a human anatomy laboratory

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The human anatomy dissection laboratory is a critical component of anatomical and medical education. Development, maintenance, and stocking of these laboratory spaces have unique demands, with all of the challenges in running a laboratory with Biosafety Laboratory Level 2 (BSL‐2) classification, housing a large volume of tissues saturated with

Adaptive Global Fast Sliding Mode Control for Steer-by-Wire System Road Vehicles

Applied Sciences, 2017
A steer-by-wire (SbW) system, also known as a next-generation steering system, is one of the core elements of autonomous driving technology. Navigating a SbW system road vehicle in varying driving conditions requires an adaptive and robust control scheme
