Development of a Mechanistic Model for the Determination of Track Modulus
Summary: The current world-wide trend towards increased axle loads and faster trains has resulted in increased damage to heavy haul routes. A simple, accurate method is required for determining track modulus, to improve track design and prediction of ...

A mechanistic-empirical method for characterisation of railway track formation [PDF]
Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2018.The demand on South African railway freight lines is growing constantly with respect to train speeds and axle loading, thus increasing the forces and stresses experienced by the track structure. This may

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.

Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation
A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful

A flexible, skin‐integrated electromagnetic actuator is developed for wearable virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) haptic systems. A tunable design model enables control over displacement and resonance frequency. The system is validated through a custom VR application with a 6 × 4 actuator array, demonstrating real‐time, spatially targeted tactile ...
