Spontaneous wrinkle branching by gradient stiffness.
The concept of coherency loss is proposed to understand wrinkle branching as a pathway toward hierarchical wrinkling pattern formation in a compressed film-substrate system with gradient stiffness of the film or substrate. A simple model indicates that the wrinkle branching arises when the characteristic length of the stiffness inhomogeneity zone is larger than the coherency persistent length, ...
متن کاملMulti-Fingered Haptic Palpation utilizing Granular Jamming Stiffness Feedback Actuators
This paper describes a multi-fingered haptic palpation method using stiffness feedback actuators for simulating tissue palpation procedures in traditional and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Soft tissue stiffness is simulated by changing the stiffness property of the actuator during palpation. For the first time, granular jamming and pneumatic air actuation are combined together to r...
متن کاملBuckling Analysis of Variable Stiffness Composite Laminates by Semi-Analytical Finite Strip Method
Plates made of laminated composite materials with variable stiffness can have wide applications in various branches of engineering due to such advantages as high strength /stiffness to weight ratio. In these composites, curved fibers are used to reinforce each lamina instead of the straight fibers. In this paper, the application of finite strip method for the buckling analysis of moderately thi...
متن کاملFree vibration analysis of variable stiffness composite laminated thin skew plates using IGA
A NURBS-based isogeometric finite element formulation is developed and adopted to the free vibration analysis of finite square and skew laminated plates. Variable stiffness plies are assumed due to implementation of curvilinear fiberreinforcements. It is assumed due to employment of tow placement technology, in each ply of variable stiffness composite laminated plate the fiber reinforceme...
متن کاملFriction Compensation and Stiffness Evaluation on a Variable Torsion Stiffness
With safety aspects due to closer human-robot interaction and increased requirements in energy effiency due to mobile applications, series elastic joint concepts receive high priority in contemporary robotics. Beyond making robots more safe and flexbile, such concepts can store energy and thus optimize the energetic efficiency of the robot’s motion. Therefore adjusting the stiffness is advantag...
