An open-loop control scheme to increase the speed and reduce the viscoelastic drift of dielectric elastomer actuators

We present a simple open-loop method to increase the response speed and suppress the viscoelastic creep of dielectric elastomer actuators. The parameters of the model can be extracted from two simple measurements: a strain vs. voltage ramp, and the strain ...

Force Characterization Of Meso-Scale Haptic Devices

Jamie Paik, Sagar Dattatray Joshi, Frédéric Henri Vaskin Giraud

Recent advances with haptic devices have shown great potential in physically simulating contact with an object. In meso-scale (1 to 10 cm) haptic devices, although the actuation level can be controlled, their small form-factor makes it difficult to measure ...

Strengthening of a 19th-century roadway metallic bridge using nonprestressed bonded and prestressed unbonded CFRP plates

Ardalan Hosseini, Masoud Motavalli, Elyas Ghafoori

This paper summarizes the strengthening of a historically significant 122-year-old roadway metallic bridge using nonprestressed bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. Prior to the bridge strengthening, sets of laboratory tests were conducted ...

Fabrication of Hexagonal-Prismatic Granular Hydrogel Sheets

Esther Amstad, Huachuan Du, Mathias Steinacher, Alice Cont

Natural soft materials are often composed of proteins that self-assemble into well-defined structures and display mechanical properties that cannot be matched by manmade materials. These materials are frequently mimicked with hydrogels whose mechanical pro ...

Tensile viscous response of Strain Hardening UHPFRC under high restraint and isothermal conditions

Emmanuel Denarié, Mohamed Abdul Hafiz

Strain Hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (SH-UHPFRC) have a high elastic limit (around 10 MPa) and high tensile strength (upto 20 MPa) and exhibit significant strain hardening (1 to 4 %) under tensile loads. These appealing featur ...

Progress in Self-Healing Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades

This paper sets out to review the current state of the art in applying self-healing/self-repair to high-performing advanced fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials (FRPs). A significant proportion of self-healing studies have focused so far on develop ...

Miniaturized tube fixed plug drawing: determination of the friction coefficients and drawing limit of 316 LVM stainless steel

Jean-Marie Drezet, Stefano Mischler, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Bastien De Marco, Vance Nguyen, Stéphane Dobler

Tube drawing with a ﬁxed plug is investigated experimentally and numerically in order to optimise an industrial pass sequence. Tube drawings are performed on a laboratory drawing bench equipped with force, displacement and temperature sensors. The drawing ...

Robotic Integral Attachment

Yves Weinand, Christopher Werner Matthias Robeller, Matthias Köhler

Integral joints provide a rapid, simple and mechanically strong connection between parts. Our investigation focuses on the assembly of cross-laminated wood veneer plates, where previous studies have shown that the strength of through-tenons is equivalent o ...
