Low stiffness, large stroke, and axial force capabilities make Extensile Fluidic Artificial Muscles (EFAMs) a feasible soft actuator for continuum soft robots. EFAMs can be used to construct soft ...

The Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) laminate structural components used in the aerospace and military domains require high precision and strong stability. Usually the deformation of these ...

This paper provides an analysis of the correlated evolution of limb biomechanics and mechanosensation. We found that in multiple independent evolutions of stiff fins there was concurrent evolution of ...

Plunge-diving is a very unique foraging method in the animal kingdom. A limited set of water birds exhibit this behavior, and only one family of seabirds (Sulidae) exhibit this behavior at high speeds ...

In order to prove the rationality of structural design and carrying capacity, reasonable design of lever-loading system to apply loadings to some loading-points was needed in spacecraft structural ...
