On the behavior of uniaxial static stress loaded micro-scale fused silica beams at room temperature

Yves Bellouard, Christos Edouardos Athanasiou, Saood Ibni Nazir

The question of whether static stress in fused silica relaxes at room temperature is still under debate. Here, we report experimental data investigating the behavior of fused silica at room temperature when subjected to static tensile stress up to 2 GPa st ...

Folded-Tube Soft Pneumatic Actuators for Bending

Wyatt Marshall Felt

This article presents a model and experimental results for a new class of bending soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) made from a single section of thin-walled flexible tubing. The actuator is formed by creasing the tubing into fin-like rectangular folds and i ...

Modeling Vacuum Bellows Soft Pneumatic Actuators with Optimal Mechanical Performance

Jamie Paik, Matthew Aaron Robertson, Wyatt Marshall Felt

This paper presents the concept and model of "Vacuum Bellows," a cylindrical membrane-reinforced contractile vacuum soft pneumatic actuator (V-SPAs). These actuators consist of a tubular membrane connected to a series of interior rigid rings periodically s ...

Side-Information Scalable Source Coding

Suhas Diggavi

We consider the problem of side-information scalable (SI-scalable) source coding, where the encoder constructs a two-layer description, such that the receiver with high quality side information will be able to use only the first layer to reconstruct the so ...
