Analysis of the Bearing Characteristics of Single Piles under Vertical and Torsional Combined Loads

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021
To investigate the bearing characteristics of single piles under the combined action of vertical loads (V) and torque (T) on a pile head, the displacement governing equations of the pile shaft were proposed in consideration of the load transfer method ...

Strain‐Activated Mechanical Metamaterial With Programmable Dual‐Phase Stiffness and Enhanced Energy Absorption

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A strain‐activated mechanical metamaterial is developed to achieve programmable dual‐phase stiffness through an intrinsic geometric locking mechanism. Finite element modeling and parametric analysis identify the key design parameters governing activation strain, stiffness transition, and energy absorption.

Rotating Fluorescent Nanodiamond Assemblies With Focused Laguerre–Gaussian Beams

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐assembled fluorescent nanodiamond clusters are optically trapped and driven into controlled two‐dimensional rotation with Laguerre–Gaussian beams. With localized optical excitation, optically detected magnetic resonance spectra are collected at defined points along the orbit in a uniform external magnetic field.

Learning Highly Dynamic Skills Transition for Quadruped Jumping Through Constrained Space

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A quadruped robot masters dynamic jumps through constrained spaces with animal‐inspired moves and intelligent vision control. This hierarchical learning approach combines imitation of biological agility with real‐time trajectory planning. Although legged animals are capable of performing explosive motions while traversing confined spaces, replicating ...

Model-assisted extended state observer-based computed torque control for trajectory tracking of uncertain robotic manipulator systems

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2018
Computed torque control is an effective control scheme for trajectory tracking of robotic manipulators. However, computed torque control requires precise dynamic models of robotic manipulators and is severely affected by uncertain dynamics.
