An elastic rod in frictional contact with a rigid cylinder

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Tomohiko Sano, Paul Grandgeorge

We investigate the load transmission along an elastic rod of finite cross-section in contact with a rigid cylinder, as system often referred to as the generalized capstan problem. In the presence of friction, the idealized classic capstan equation predicts ...

Soft and stretchable liquid metal transmission lines as distributed probes of multimodal deformations

Fabien Sorin, Andreas Leber, Chaoqun Dong, Nicola Bartolomei, Rajasundar Chandran

Mechanical sensing represents a key functionality in soft electronics for applications in health monitoring, human–machine interaction, or soft robotics. Current approaches typically rely on intricate networks of sensors specific to one type of deformation ...

Wearable exoskeletons to support ambulation in people with neuromuscular diseases, design rules and control

Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Neuromuscular diseases are degenerative and, thus far, incurable disorders that lead to large muscle wasting. They result in constant deterioration of activities of daily living and in particular of ambulation. Some common types include Duchenne muscular d ...

EXiO-A Brain-Controlled Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Rhesus Macaques

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Miguel Nicolelis, Jeremy Olivier, Tristan Hubert Vouga

Recent advances in the field of brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have demonstrated enormous potential to shape the future of rehabilitation and prosthetic devices. Here, a lower-limb exoskeleton controlled by the intracortical activity of an awake behaving ...

Liquid Ropes: A Geometrical Model for Thin Viscous Jet Instabilities

Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun

Thin, viscous fluid threads falling onto a moving belt behave in a way reminiscent of a sewing machine, generating a rich variety of periodic stitchlike patterns including meanders, W patterns, alternating loops, and translated coiling. These patterns form ...

New slip synthesis and theoretical approach of CVT slip control

Today's vehicle must be efficient in terms of gas (CO2, NOx) emissions and fuel consumption. Due to improvements in material and oil, the continuous variable transmission (CVT) is now making a breakthrough in the automotive market. The CVT decouples the en ...
