Abstract: In natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), the flexible endoscopic surgical robot utilizes a continuum configuration to navigate narrow, multicurvature esophageal pathways. However, the tool channel's ...

Abstract: Recent developments in probe-based optical imaging tools such as confocal endomicroscopy have been demonstrated to be powerful techniques that can provide high-resolution in vivo morphological images at cellular and ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper proposes a rigid–flexible–thermal coupling dynamics model for a spacecraft with a composite-laminated solar array in a space thermal environment, and the thermally induced vibration on the spacecraft is ...

Abstract: The self-pierce riveting process for alloy materials has a wide range of applications in the automotive manufacturing industry. This will not only affect the operation performance but also cause accidents in severe cases ...

Abstract: Abstract The brittle nature of rock materials results in insignificant failure precursors, often leading to sudden and catastrophic events, particularly in cold regions. To address this issue, this study conducted freeze–thaw ...
