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

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 ...

Nonlocal Effects Reflect the Jamming Criticality in Frictionless Granular Flows Down Inclines

Matthieu Wyart, Hugo Robin Louis Perrin

The jamming transition is accompanied by a rich phenomenology such as hysteresis or nonlocal effects that is still not well understood. Here, we experimentally investigate a model frictionless granular layer flowing down an inclined plane as a way to disen ...

Multimode Hydraulically Amplified Electrostatic Actuators for Wearable Haptics

Herbert Shea, Ronan Julien Hinchet, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy

The sense of touch is underused in today’s virtual reality systems due to lack of wearable, soft, mm-scale transducers to generate dynamic mechanical stimulus on the skin. Extremely thin actuators combining both high force and large displacement are a long ...

Instability of Thin Concrete Walls with a Single Layer of Reinforcement under Cyclic Loading: Numerical Simulation and Improved Equivalent Boundary Element Model for Assessment

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Angelica Rosso, Lisandro Arturo Jimenez Roa

Thin reinforced concrete walls may fail due to out-of-plane instability when subjected to seismic loading. While previous numerical studies on wall instability have focused on the behaviour of members with two layers of vertical reinforcement, this work ad ...

Out-of-plane instability of thin reinforced concrete walls under seismic loading

Angelica Rosso

Out of plane instability of reinforced concrete walls is a failure mechanism observed rather recently following the earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011). Global out of plane instability is a phenomenon that may occur in thin walls, subjected ...

Management of turbidity current venting in reservoirs under different bed slopes

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sabine Chamoun

The lifetime and efficiency of dams is endangered by the process of sedimentation. To ensure the sustainable use of reservoirs, many sediment management techniques exist, among which venting of turbidity currents. Nevertheless, a number of practical questi ...

Full-Scale Cyclic Testing of Deep Slender Wide-Flange Steel Beam-Columns under Unidirectional and Bidirectional Lateral Drift Demands

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

Deep and slender wide-flange steel beam-columns are commonly used in steel special moment frames (SMFs) in North America. These sections provide large moment-of-inertia required to satisfy the design code’s drift limits while keeping the column steel weigh ...

Mixed mode fracture behavior of welded wood joints investigated with the Arcan test

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Parviz Navi, Martin Rhême

Friction welding of wood is an assembly method that is still under investigation and development. A possible application for welded wood joints is the fabrication of multi-layered panels (i.e., cross-laminated panels). In an effort to model the behavior of ...

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 ...

Experimental investigation of the spreading of viscoplastic fluids on inclined planes

Christophe Ancey, Steve Cochard

We report experimental results related to the dam-break problem for viscoplastic fluids. Using image processing techniques, we were able to accurately reconstruct the free-surface evolution of fixed volumes of fluid suddenly released a plane. We used Carbo ...
