Abstract: Owing to their tremendous adaptability to free-form objects, soft grippers with fin-ray structure have a wide range of applications. However, kinetostatics analysis and contact sensing for ...

In this paper a new hybrid glowworm swarm algorithm (SAGSO) for solving structural optimization problems is presented. The structure proposed to be optimized here is a simply-supported concrete I-beam ...

Overhead pick-and-place gantries are an important part of modern automotive plants, moving and positioning parts with the speed, precision, and reliability that high-volume production demands.

Wind energy library: suite of python and matlab tools for aero-servo-hydro-elasticity (aerodynanmics, controls, hydrodynamics, structure/elasticity) and wind energy. A sample of the figures generated ...

She's doing all this at just two years old 👏 Health warning as common painkiller linked to kidney damage UK households to get new £200 payments from April Massive ocean discovered beneath the Earth's ...

In this video I take a look at five methods that can be used to predict how a beam will deform when loads are applied to it. These are the double integration method, Macaulay's method, the principle ...

As artificial intelligence (AI) models are increasingly capable of producing more life-like content, there has been an understandable hesitancy regarding “deepfakes” and their potential negative ...

The construction of concrete-filled steel tube tied-arch bridges typically employs the “beam first and arch later” methodology. In this approach, tie beams are initially constructed on temporary ...

We demonstrate a novel approach to X-ray ptychography, a phase-sensitive scanning microscopy method. By replacing the conventional sample scanning approach with a beam-scanning via reflective optics, ...
