Variable Stiffness Folding Joints for Haptic Feedback
Origami robots composed of rigid parts with flexible joints have inherent compliance that enables deployment and reconfiguration for various shape adaptations. The major drawback of such mechanical compliance is its intrinsic softness and lack of controlla ...
IEEE2021Influence of the geometry of partially-spanning joints on mechanical properties of rock in uniaxial compression
As jointed rocks consist of joints embedded within intact rock blocks, their behavior depends on the behaviors of the joints and the intact rock blocks. In a jointed rock, there are two levels of heterogeneity within the jointed rocks due to the difference ...
Elsevier2013Obliquely incident wave propagation across rock joints with virtual wave source method
Due to the presence of joints, waves are greatly attenuated when propagating across rock masses. Zhu et al. (2011) (Normally incident wave propagation across a joint set with virtual wave source method. J. Appl. Geophys.73, 283-288.) studied normally incid ...
Elsevier2013Evaluating the influence of induced passive torques in the simulation of time-varying human poses
In the computerized generation of human poses, it is important to take into account not only the active component of the torque, but also the ligaments and connective tissues which produce a passive torque at the limits of the joint range of motion. We pre ...
