Delicate yet strong: characterizing the electro-adhesion lifting force with a soft gripper

Herbert Shea, Jun Shintake, Vito Cacucciolo

Compliant grippers are one of the most promising soft robotic devices for industrial tasks. Soft grippers dramatically simplify grasping control because the gripper automatically conforms to the object's shape. A common limitation of soft structures is tha ...

Are Existing Monocular Computer Vision-Based 3D Motion Capture Approaches Ready for Deployment? A Methodological Study on the Example of Alpine Skiing

Pascal Fua, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Mirela Ostrek

In this study, we compared a monocular computer vision (MCV)-based approach with the golden standard for collecting kinematic data on ski tracks (i.e., video-based stereophotogrammetry) and assessed its deployment readiness for answering applied research q ...

Suppressing tip vortex cavitation by winglets

Mohamed Farhat, Ali Amini, Martino Reclari

Despite the numerous remedies prescribed so far, tip vortex cavitation (TVC) remains a major issue in design and operation of diverse applications. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the effectiveness of winglets in suppressing TVC. An elliptical ...

Hydrodynamic loading of perforated disks in creeping flows

François Gallaire, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Lorenzo Siconolfi, Matteo Pezzulla

We present results from an experimental investigation of a viscous fluid driven through and around porous disks at low and moderate Reynolds number conditions: Re = O(10(-4)-10(-3)) and Re = O(1-10). Specifically, we quantify the hydrodynamic drag that the ...

Flow dynamics of a dandelion pappus: A linear stability approach

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Francesco Viola, Lorenzo Siconolfi

The study and control of flow instabilities is a key problem in aerodynamics. Aircrafts are designed not only to generate the lift force needed to balance their weight but, more importantly, to be stable and reasonably steady when in cruise conditions. Sim ...

Programmable Aerodynamic Drag on Active Dimpled Cylinders

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Mark Andrew Guttag

This study demonstrates that the aerodynamic drag profile of a patterned deformable cylinder at high Reynolds numbers can be programmed, on demand, by modifying its topography through pneumatic actuation. The samples used in the experiments comprise a rigi ...

Control of Dissipation Sources: A Central Aspect for Enhancing the Mechanical and Mechanobiological Performances of Hydrogels

Dominique Pioletti, Peyman Karami, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani

Development of mechanically durable and biologically inductive hydrogels is a major challenge for load-bearing applications such as engineered cartilage. Dissipative capacity of articular cartilage is central to its functional behavior when submitted to lo ...

Compliant riblets: Problem formulation and effective macrostructural properties

Giuseppe Antonio Zampogna, Alessandro Bottaro

Small-scale, deformable riblets, embedded within the viscous sublayer of a turbulent boundary layer and capable to adapt to the overlying motion, are studied. The wall micro-grooves are made of a linearly elastic material and can undergo small deformations ...
