Multimodal pipe-climbing robot with origami clutches and soft modular legs
Jamie Paik, Frédéric Henri Vaskin Giraud, Hongying Zhang, Yongkang Jiang
In nature, climbing trees and pipes of varying diameters or even navigating inside of hollow pipes and tree holes is easy for some climbing animals and insects. However, today's pipe-climbing robots, which are important for automatically conducting periodi ...
2020Energy performance and economic feasibility of energy segmental linings for subway tunnels
Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria, Benoît Claude Henri Cousin
This study focuses on the analysis of the energy performance and economic feasibility of so-called tunnel energy segmental linings: an innovative technology that couples the structural support role of the tunnel lining with the heating-cooling role of the ...
2019Folded-Tube Soft Pneumatic Actuators for Bending
This article presents a model and experimental results for a new class of bending soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) made from a single section of thin-walled flexible tubing. The actuator is formed by creasing the tubing into fin-like rectangular folds and i ...
MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC2019Incorporating Location Aspects in Process Integration Methodology
François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Hür Ebuzer Bütün
The large potential for waste resource and heat recovery in industry has been motivating research toward increasing efficiency. Process integration methods have proven to be effective tools in improving industrial sites while decreasing their resource and ...
2019Micromechanical controls of mixed-mode anticrack nucleation in porous solids: application to snow failure
Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe, Jonas Ritter
Porous cohesive materials can fail and collapse under compressive stresses. This mechanical behavior is generally referred to as anticrack and in snow, it is at the origin of catastrophic avalanches. In this study, we investigate how the microstructure of ...
2019Three-dimensional finite element analysis of piled rafts with energy piles
Lyesse Laloui, Cristiano Garbellini
Over the last twenty years, the importance of environmentally friendly technologies in the field of construction has grown considerably. In this regard, energy piles are an innovative technology that combines the structural role of piles with that of a gro ...
2019The potential of textile reinforced concrete for design of innovative structures
Aurelio Muttoni, Patricia Guaita, Raffael Baur, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri
Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a recent evolution of ordinary reinforced concrete. This relatively new construction material replaces steel reinforcement with high-strength, non-corrosive textile fabrics in order to reduce cover requirements to minim ...
2019Recommendations for Improved Welding Procedures for Thick Steel Plates Through Thermo-Mechanical Analysis
Welding of steel plates is accompanied by residual stresses that increase as the constraint provided by the welded components becomes greater. Consequently, crack initiation has been reported after welding thick plates due to the high residual stresses dev ...
2019Investigating the effects of concrete compressive strength, CFRP thickness and groove depth on CFRP-concrete bond strength of EBROG joints
Dominant efficacy of the new developed ‘‘externally bonded reinforcement on grooves” (EBROG) technique in comparison with ‘‘externally bonded reinforcement” (EBR) method has been previously shown when fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are used for st ...
2018Fluid–structure interaction in pipe coils during hydraulic transients
Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, David Ferràs Segura
The paper presents the analysis of fluid–structure interaction occurring during hydraulic transients in pipe coils by means of a four-equation model. The purpose is to understand and describe the effect of the coil movement on the transient wave. The four- ...
