Results of NASA Technical Challenge to Demonstrate Two-Speed Drive for Vertical Lift Vehicle [PDF]
Currently, manned vertical lift vehicles are flown in a manner such that the rotors operate over a narrow range of rotating speed regardless if the vehicle's flight condition is one of vertical takeoff and landing, hover, or forward cruise.

Ultra‐High Friction and Adhesion in Hydrogel Layer Driven by Wet‐to‐Dry Transition Dynamics
This work reveals a critical wet‐to‐dry transition in polyacrylamide hydrogel layers that induces volumetric shrinkage, resulting in enhanced interfacial contact and dramatically increased friction and adhesion. Leveraging this transition enables strong, reversible gripping on diverse surfaces, offering new insights for hydrogel‐based gripping ...

Friction and temperature characteristics of wet clutch engagement
För att erhålla mjukare växlingsförlopp och samtidigt få lång livslängd på våta kopplingar i automatväxellådor krävs förbättrad konstruktion. För att förbättra konstruktionen behövs mer kunskap om inkopplingsförloppet av våta kopplingar. En testrigg för att undersöka inkopplingsförloppet har byggts.
