Piezoresistivity Enhancement by Graphite Flake Alignment in Thin Composite Films for Dielectric Elastomer Switches

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.

Non-contact ultrasonic detection of angled surface defects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Non-destructive testing is an important technique, and improvements are constantly needed. Surface defects in metals are not necessarily confined to orientations normal to the sample surface; however, much of the previous work investigating the ...

Assessment of Fatigue Life and Failure Criteria in Ultrasonic Testing Through Thermal Analyses

open access: yesApplied Sciences
An experimental study was conducted to analyze temperature evolution during very high cycle fatigue tests. The temperature–number of cycles (T–N) curve is typically divided into three phases: Phase I—a rapid temperature increases at the start of the test,

Comparison of low and high frequency fatigue tests

open access: yesProduction Engineering Archives, 2017
The paper presents the results of low and high frequency fatigue tests carried out on nodular cast iron. The specimens of synthetic nodular cast irons from three different melts were studied in the high cycle fatigue region (from 105 to 108 cycles) using
