An elastic rod in frictional contact with a rigid cylinder

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Tomohiko Sano, Paul Grandgeorge

We investigate the load transmission along an elastic rod of finite cross-section in contact with a rigid cylinder, as system often referred to as the generalized capstan problem. In the presence of friction, the idealized classic capstan equation predicts ...

Soft and stretchable liquid metal transmission lines as distributed probes of multimodal deformations

Fabien Sorin, Andreas Leber, Chaoqun Dong, Nicola Bartolomei, Rajasundar Chandran

Mechanical sensing represents a key functionality in soft electronics for applications in health monitoring, human–machine interaction, or soft robotics. Current approaches typically rely on intricate networks of sensors specific to one type of deformation ...

Wearable exoskeletons to support ambulation in people with neuromuscular diseases, design rules and control

Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Neuromuscular diseases are degenerative and, thus far, incurable disorders that lead to large muscle wasting. They result in constant deterioration of activities of daily living and in particular of ambulation. Some common types include Duchenne muscular d ...

Synthesis of Loop Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) Brushes via Chain-End Postpolymerization Modification

Harm-Anton Klok, Piotr Mocny

Polymer brushes are typically densely grafted assemblies of polymer chains that are tethered via one end group to a solid substrate. Anchoring linear polymer chains via both end groups to a surface results in loop-type polymer brushes. Although loop polyme ...

EXiO-A Brain-Controlled Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Rhesus Macaques

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jeremy Olivier, Miguel Nicolelis, Tristan Hubert Vouga

Recent advances in the field of brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have demonstrated enormous potential to shape the future of rehabilitation and prosthetic devices. Here, a lower-limb exoskeleton controlled by the intracortical activity of an awake behaving ...

Liquid Ropes: A Geometrical Model for Thin Viscous Jet Instabilities

Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun

Thin, viscous fluid threads falling onto a moving belt behave in a way reminiscent of a sewing machine, generating a rich variety of periodic stitchlike patterns including meanders, W patterns, alternating loops, and translated coiling. These patterns form ...

Analysis And Optimization Of Robin-Robin Partitioned Procedures In Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems

Fabio Nobile, Christian Vergara

In the solution of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems, partitioned procedures are modular algorithms that involve separate fluid and structure solvers that interact in an iterative framework through the exchange of suitable transmission conditions ...

Tendon-Based Transmission for Surgical Robotics: Systematic Experimental Friction Modeling.

Hannes Bleuler, Masayuki Hara, Patrick Schoeneich, Ricardo Daniel Rita Beira, Ali Sengül

Increased miniaturization of surgical instruments is essential to successfully perform surgical procedures in restricted areas as in many applications of minimally-invasive surgery. Miniaturization permits increase in dexterity and decrease in access incis ...

Strain Measurement Validation Of Embedded Fiber Bragg Gratings

Stefano Trono

This study investigates the influence of strain state distribution on the accuracy of embedded optical fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) used as strain sensors. An optical fiber embedded parallel to adjacent structural fibers in a graphite epoxy quasi-isotropic ...

New slip synthesis and theoretical approach of CVT slip control

Yves Rothenbühler

Today's vehicle must be efficient in terms of gas (CO2, NOx) emissions and fuel consumption. Due to improvements in material and oil, the continuous variable transmission (CVT) is now making a breakthrough in the automotive market. The CVT decouples the en ...
