Fully 3D‐Printed Wave‐Wound Electromagnetic Motors

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work presents the first fully 3D‐printed wave‐wound electromagnetic motors, which are created using conductive nanoparticle inks, carbon‐filled nylon polymers, and surface mount components. These motors can achieve a stall torque of 7.62N·mmA−1$7.62 \nobreakspace N{\cdot }mm A^{-1}$ and efficiency of 28.2 %, which approaches the performance of ...

Mechanical Modeling of Viscous Fluid Damper with Temperature and Pressure Coupling Effects

Machines
During long-duration dynamic loads, such as wind loads or seismic effects, the internal temperature and pressure of a damping cylinder escalate rapidly, which induce shifts in the mechanical attributes of viscous fluid dampers (VFDs).

Dynamic analyses of adjacent buildings connected by fluid viscous dampers [PDF]

WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2009
Building structures are often built close to each other because of lack of available land in metropolitan cities. In this study, the effectiveness of fluid viscous dampers is investigated in terms of the reduction of displacement, acceleration and shear force responses of adjacent buildings. The specific objectives of this investigation are carried out

A Self‐Healing Permanent Magnet Putty for Soft Robot Skins With Force Sensing and Functional Recovery

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Permanent magnet putty (PMP) integrates high‐coercivity NdFeB particles with a dynamic polyborosiloxane–Ecoflex matrix, achieving rapid self‐healing (90% mechanical recovery in 10 s) and magnetic recovery within 20 min. With twice the sensitivity of commercial putties, PMP enables precise 5–30 N force detection and discrimination between pressing and ...
