Abstract: Soft robotic manipulators are continuum robots made of soft materials that undergo continuous elastic deformation and produce motion with a smooth backbone curve. In many applications, these manipulators offer significant ...

Abstract: Compared to traditional labyrinth seals, large-diameter (about 24 in or 609.6 mm) film-riding face seals are worth 0.55–0.65% points efficiency for utility-scale supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) turbines. Conventional ...
