Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...

Wood Carbon Sponge/SiO<sub>2</sub> Aerogel Composites with Anisotropic Broadband Microwave Absorption, Elastic Resilience, and Thermal Insulation. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Anisotropic wood carbon sponge/SiO2 aerogel composites are constructed, revealing a robust direction‐dependent permittivity ordering (tangential > radial > axial). The radial direction delivers an ultra‐broadband effective absorption bandwidth of 11.6 GHz at only 4.95 mm, while the tangential direction offers superior compressibility and thermal ...

Micromechanical characterisation of compression wood
, 2004 In this paper are reported the results of a study carried out with the aim of characterizing the mechanical behavior of Compression wood. Tests were performed on micro-samples containing only portion of CW or normal wood that, within the growth rings, have been extracted separately from both early and late wood.
