Drained Clay-Pipe Interface Resistance at Low Normal Stresses and Elevated Temperatures

Offshore pipelines that transport hydrocarbons under high pressure and high temperature are usually thermally insulated to maintain an elevated temperature and prevent any heat loss to the surroundings. However, the temperatures at the outer-wall of the pi ...

Load cell with positive, negative and zero stiffness operating modes for milli- to nanonewton contact force monitoring in electrical probing

Michal Stanislaw Smreczak

Monolithic integrated circuits (ICs) have been miniaturized over the past five decades, and today their components range in size from hundreds of microns to several nanometers. Making point contact with electrical samples under a microscope is referred to ...

3D printing of elastomeric mechanical sensors designed for human motion monitoring

Ryan Mitchell van Dommelen

In this thesis several advances are made to the emerging field of 3D printed mechanical sensors. Techniques and processes were developed to enable the integration of highly conductive, and capacitive and piezoresistive sensing features embedded within 3D p ...

Active load cell with positive, negative and zero stiffness operating modes for micronewton range contact force monitoring in electrical probing

Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Michal Stanislaw Smreczak

This article describes a novel method for applying a contact force in the range of 1 to 100 μN with pointed probe on a microscale sample in order to perform ohmic electrical measurements. The solution is based on the new TIVOT active load cell combining th ...

Surface roughness and shear resistance in cracked concrete

Guillaume Anciaux, Mohit Pundir

In concrete structures, opened cracks contribute significantly to the transfer of shear and normal stresses through the contact forces acting on fractured surfaces. Such contact forces are due to protruding asperities, engaged by interlocking and friction ...

Powerful 2D Soft Morphing Actuator Propels Giant Manta Ray Robot

Miao Li, Yi Sun

Soft actuator is the main technology that drives the development of soft robotics as it defines the capabilities of soft machines. One of the key challenges in soft actuator research is to simultaneously produce complex morphing (e.g., surface morphing) an ...

Online Bipedal Locomotion Adaptation for Stepping on Obstacles Using a Novel Foot Sensor

Milad Shafiee Ashtiani

In this paper, we present a novel control architecture for the online adaptation of bipedal locomotion on inclined obstacles. In particular, we introduce a novel, cost-effective, and versatile foot sensor to detect the proximity of the robot's feet to the ...

Time Reverse Impulse Demonstrator Force Sensing Surface

The goal of this project is to design, build and test a 3D touch-sensing interface prototype capable of reading input positional and force values that then generate sinusoidal sound waves. This prototype is intended to be integrated onto a haptic feedback ...

Numerical generation and contact analysis of rough surfaces in concrete

Guillaume Anciaux, Mohit Pundir

In concrete structures, opened cracks contribute significantly to the transfer of shear and normal stresses through the contact forces occurring between fractured surfaces. Such contact forces are due to protruding asperities, engaged by interlocking and f ...

Coupling between cohesive element method and node‐to‐segment contact algorithm: Implementation and application

Guillaume Anciaux, Mohit Pundir

In materials, the evolution of crack surfaces is intimately linked with the self-contact occurring between them. The developed contact forces not only mitigate the effect of stress concentration at crack tip but also contribute sig- nificantly to the trans ...
