Passive-dynamic wind tunnel tests of the Ø resund Bridge cables [PDF]
, 2012 Large amplitude vibrations have been reported from the Ø resund Bridge especially concomitant with rain events. A novel study of the aerodynamic damping of the cables has been carried out through wind tunnel tests. A configuration has been selected based

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

Experimental study of wind-rain-induced cable vibration using a new model setup scheme
, 2008 Wind-rain tunnel test of cable section model is one of the effective ways to explore mechanism of wind-rain-induced cable vibration and its mitigation. However, most of previous model setup schemes consider vertical vibration of cable only, in which the ...

Preferential Interfacial Engineering of Hydrogels via Interdigitated Nanoparticle Assembly
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Robust surface functionalization of hydrogel surfaces is performed via interdigitated metal nanoparticle assembly, inducing strong affinity with the hydrogel matrix. The partially exposed nanoparticle domains act as interfacial nanobridges that mediate both chemical and physical bonding with diverse materials, including small molecules, fluorous ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Reduction of wind-induced vibration of tall buildings using suspended mass pendulums
, 2014 This paper is aimed at the investigation of using suspended mass pendulums to reduce Wind-induced vibration of tall buildings. The tall building is modeled as a shear building with the same floor mass and lateral stiffness for each story, and the ...
