Abstract: There have been increasing demands and interests in stretchable sensors with the development of flexible or stretchable conductive materials. These sensors can be used for detecting large strain, 3D deformation, and a ...

Abstract: When prestressing tendons are corroded, a bridge owner must decide whether to replace or repair them. If this decision must be based on a destructive inspection method, section losses in the steel strands must be estimated ...

Abstract: This research focused on extending the applications of fused deposition modeling (FDM) by extrusion and deposition of low melting temperature metal alloys to create threedimensional metal structures and singlelayer contacts ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the fatigue characteristics of a new extruded aluminum 7175, with an experimental composition which uses a magnesium-calcium alloy during the alloying process instead of the standard pure magnesium. ...

Abstract: Soft linear actuators (SLAs) such as shape memory alloy (SMA) wires, pneumatic soft actuators, dielectric elastomer actuator, and twisted and coiled soft actuator (TCA) called artificial muscle actuators in general, have ...
