Abstract: By introducing the modular and reconfigurable design, the limbs of a hexapod robot can be assembled into different configurations to meet various task requirements. Contrary to the fixed configuration system, the task ...

Abstract: In this paper, we investigated the temperaturedependent viscoelastic behavior of dielectric elastomers (DEs) and the effects of viscoelasticity on the electroactuation behavior. We performed dynamic thermomechanical analysis ...

Abstract: The key to accurately predict welding residual stress is to explore the solid-phase transition law of SA508-3 steel and establish the phase transition model under continuous cooling conditions. The effects of cooling rate ...

Abstract: The effects of isothermally long-term and thermal cycling tests on the performance of an ASC type commercial solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) have been investigated. For the long-term test, the cells were tested over 5000 h ...

Abstract: Existing models can hardly provide a reliable guidance in designing intensifier utilizing axial vibration energy of drill strings. The formation process of jet and the pulsation characteristics of flow field had not been ...
