Abstract: Abstract In the present work, axial-torsion fatigue tests were performed under two loading categories, (i) variable strain paths sequential loading and (ii) asynchronous (different loading frequencies) conditions on low C-Mn steel. Variable strain paths tests… read more here.

Abstract: We propose a novel variable-strain parametrization for soft manipulators, which discretizes the continuous Cosserat rod model onto a finite set of strain basis functions. This approach generalizes the recently proposed piecewise-constant strain method to the… read more here.
