Coupling between cohesive element method and Node-to-segment contact algorithm : Implementation and application

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

Particle-size segregation and rheology coupling in dense granular flows.

Tomás Alfredo Trewhela Palacios

Dense granular flows -debris or pyroclastic flows, avalanches, granular flows in heaps, silos or rotating drums-are ubiquitous to many natural and industrial processes. Their grain composition is often polydisperse, with particles differing in shape, size ...

Development of a semi-implicit contact methodology for finite volume stress solvers

Andreas Pautz, Carlo Fiorina, Alessandro Scolaro

The past decades have seen numerous efforts to apply the finite volume methodology to solid mechanics problems. However, only limited work has been done by the finite volume community toward the simulation of mechanical contact. In this article, we present ...

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 ...

Sensorization of a continuum body gripper for high force and delicate object grasping

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes

The goal of achieving 'universal grasping' where many objects can be handled with minimal control input is the focus of much research due to potential high impact applications ranging from grocery packing to recycling. However, many of the grippers develop ...

Adhesion of a tape loop

Harmeet Singh

In this work, we revisit experimentally and theoretically the mechanics of a tape loop. Using primarily elastic materials (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS, or polycarbonate, PC) and confocal microscopy, we monitor the shape as well as the applied forces during ...

Device for measuring a force exerted on an object

Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan, Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

The present invention relates to a device for measuring a contact force exerted by an object on a probe comprising a lever and said probe for contacting the object. The lever is pivotably coupled to a body by coupling means. The device comprising a fixed f ...

A mechanistic model for the growth of cylindrical debris particles in the presence of adhesion

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese

The wear volume is known to keep increasing during frictional processes, and Archard notably proposed a model to describe the probability of wear particle formation upon asperity collision in a two-body contact configuration. While this model is largely ad ...

Simulation of human gait with body weight support: benchmarking models and unloading strategies

Salil Apte

Background Gait training with partial body weight support (BWS) has become an established rehabilitation technique. Besides passive unloading mechanisms such as springs or counterweights, also active systems that allow rendering constant or modulated verti ...

Haptic feedback perception and learning with cable-driven guidance in exosuit teleoperation of a simulated drone

Dario Floreano, Auke Ijspeert, Vivek Ramachandran, Amy Roning Wu, Carine Rognon

Robotics teleoperation enables human operators to control the movements of distally located robots. The development of new wearable interfaces as alternatives to hand-held controllers has created new modalities of control, which are more intuitive to use. ...
