This paper reports a strain sensor with synergistic conductive network, consisting of stable carbon nanotube dispersion (CNT) layer and brittle MXene layer by dip-coating and electrostatic self-assembly method, and breathable three-dimensional (3D) flexible substrate of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fibrous membrane prepared through electrospinning technology.

However, the backward motion always generates for some piezoelectric actuators, which reduces the working efficiency. Bionic motions have already been employed in the field of piezoelectric actuators to realize better performance. By imitating the movement form of seals, seal type piezoelectric actuator is capable to realize large operating strokes easily. Nevertheless, the conventional seal type piezoelectric actuator has a complicated structure and control system, which limits further applications. Hence, an improved bionic piezoelectric actuator is proposed to realize a long motion stroke and eliminate backward movement with a simplified structure and control method in this study. The composition and motion principle of the designed actuator are discussed, and the performance is investigated with simulations and experiments. Results confirm that the presented actuator effectively realizes the linear movement that has a large working stroke stably without backward motion. The smallest stepping displacement ΔL is 0.2 μm under 1 Hz and 50 V. The largest motion speed is 900 μm/s with 900 Hz and 120 V. The largest vertical and horizontal load are 250 g and 12 g, respectively. This work shows that the improved bionic piezoelectric actuator is feasible for eliminating backward motion and has a great working ability.展开更多

文摘Piezoelectric actuators are widely utilized in positioning systems to realize nano-scale resolution. However, the backward motion always generates for some piezoelectric actuators, which reduces the working efficiency. Bionic motions have already been employed in the field of piezoelectric actuators to realize better performance. By imitating the movement form of seals, seal type piezoelectric actuator is capable to realize large operating strokes easily. Nevertheless, the conventional seal type piezoelectric actuator has a complicated structure and control system, which limits further applications. Hence, an improved bionic piezoelectric actuator is proposed to realize a long motion stroke and eliminate backward movement with a simplified structure and control method in this study. The composition and motion principle of the designed actuator are discussed, and the performance is investigated with simulations and experiments. Results confirm that the presented actuator effectively realizes the linear movement that has a large working stroke stably without backward motion. The smallest stepping displacement ΔL is 0.2 μm under 1 Hz and 50 V. The largest motion speed is 900 μm/s with 900 Hz and 120 V. The largest vertical and horizontal load are 250 g and 12 g, respectively. This work shows that the improved bionic piezoelectric actuator is feasible for eliminating backward motion and has a great working ability.

文摘This review summarizes the clinical applications and mechanisms of action of motion-style acupuncture(MSAT)in rehabilitation medicine.Patients are required to perform active or passive movements while the acupuncture needles are inserted.Owing to its effectiveness,MSAT is progressively applied in clinical settings,including musculoskeletal and neurological diseases.Acupuncture and exercise generate syner-gistic effects through interactive mechanisms.From the perspective of the Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)theory,needling with movement can trigger the propagation of the needling sensation,thereby enhancing its efficacy in dredging meridians and regulating qi-blood circulation.In modern medicine,these mechanisms include neural inhibition,ischemia/reperfusion,and fascial stimulation propagation.Although the clinical applications and mechanism research of MSAT in rehabilitation medicine have ad-vanced,the mechanisms of MSAT in treating various diseases and the scope of applicable diseases war-rant deeper exploration.This will provide novel therapeutic strategies for clinical applications,thereby advancing the integration and application of TCM therapies with exercise-based interventions.

文摘The study of capture mechanisms with high capture adaptability is the key to improving the efficiency of autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV)retrieval and release.This study aims to develop a capture mechanism for the launch and recovery of AUV and elucidate its kinematic characteristics.Initially,based on the principles of deployment and retraction for AUV capture movements,a design scheme for a novel foldable and deployable capture mechanism is proposed.Subsequently,a detailed analysis of the Degrees of Freedom(DoFs)for enveloping and grasping movements is conducted according to screw theory.Additionally,the structural design of the actuation units for the capture mechanism is thoroughly discussed.Motion screw topology diagram is utilized to construct the kinematic model.On this basis,kinematic simulation verification of the capture mechanism is performed.The theoretical analysis revealed that the DoF for enveloping and grasping movements are 6 and 2,respectively.By appropriately configuring the actuation mechanism,enveloping and grasping movements can be achieved with a single actuation.The displacement and velocity curves of the capture mechanism were smooth,with no interference occurring.Vibration test results validate the reliability of the capture mechanism.The research work provides a valuable reference for the development of novel capture equipment for AUVs.

文摘This article centers on The Call of the Wild,an English novel by American author Jack London,alongside two Chinese translations by Dajie Liu and Menglin Zhang,and Rongyue Liu.Seventy sentences containing motion events and their corresponding translations were randomly selected for analysis.The study focuses on the primary elements of motion events-manner,path,and ground-and examines their Chinese translations through the lens of Skopos theory.Skopos theory emphasizes whether translators can adopt appropriate translation strategies according to various contextual factors during the translation process.Compared to verb-framed languages,satellite-framed languages possess a richer vocabulary for manner verbs,express more detailed manner information,use more satellite words to indicate paths,and incorporate more background information.Verb-framed languages,by contrast,typically express manner information only when necessary and tend to include less background information.The analysis reveals that both Chinese translations embody the core principle of Skopos theory:translation strategies are determined by their purpose.To fulfill the novel’s translation objectives,the translators adeptly adjust their strategies for motion event components based on different contextual needs.It is noted that the Chinese translations do not fully retain the characteristics of English as a typical satellite-framed language.This observation aligns with Skopos theory’s purpose-oriented approach,which prioritizes translation goals over strict adherence to source text characteristics.

文摘Shape memory alloy(SMA)bars are currently preferred over elastomeric seismic isolators due to the elimination of degradation within effective damping and stiffness factors during the cyclic response of an isolation system.These bars could also be used to prevent the functionality of the isolator units from failing due to large deformations.This study aims to investigate the performance of a high damping rubber bearing(HDRB)isolator that is combined with two different types of SMA bars,i.e.,Nickel-Titanium(Ni-Ti)and Copper-Aluminum-Beryllium(Cu-Al-Be),subjected to near-fault ground motions that are characterized with forward directivity and fling step effects.To achieve this objective,a self-centering material with flag-shape,force-deformation hysteresis was utilized to simulate the behavior of SMA bars in OpenSees.A single degree of freedom(SDOF)system representing an isolated one-story shear building was developed to conduct nonlinear analysis under selected ground motions.The SMA bars were introduced as an X-shape within the model and were connected diagonally to the top and bottom of the isolator.Results showed that the HDRB system’s hysteretic response under near-fault ground accelerations experiences significant degradation,especially when near-fault motions involve the fling step effect.It was demonstrated that SMA bars effectively reduce large displacement observed in HDRB systems under near-fault earthquakes.Comparing the results of the base-isolated HDRB and SMA-HDRB subjected to selected ground motions demonstrated that maximum displacement was found to be significantly reduced by an average of 79%when SMA bars were used.Incorporating SMA bars with a larger diameter significantly improves the efficiency of SMA HDRB systems,and a reduction in maximum displacements is more pronounced for fling step,near-fault ground motions.

文摘Microrobots powered by an external magnetic field could be used for sophisticated medical applications such as cell treatment,micromanipulation,and noninvasive surgery inside the body.Untethered microrobot applications can benefit from haptic technology and telecommunication,enabling telemedical micro-manipulation.Users can manipulate the microrobots with haptic feedback by interacting with the robot operating system remotely in such applications.Artificially created haptic forces based on wirelessly transmitted data and model-based guidance can aid human operators with haptic sensations while manipulating microrobots.The system presented here includes a haptic device and a magnetic tweezer system linked together using a network-based teleoperation method with motion models in fluids.The magnetic microrobots can be controlled remotely,and the haptic interactions with the remote environment can be felt in real time.A time-domain passivity controller is applied to overcome network delay and ensure stability of communication.This study develops and tests a motion model for microrobots and evaluates two image-based 3D tracking algorithms to improve tracking accuracy in various Newtonian fluids.Additionally,it demonstrates that microrobots can group together to transport multiple larger objects,move through microfluidic channels for detailed tasks,and use a novel method for disassembly,greatly expanding their range of use in microscale operations.Remote medical treatment in multiple locations,remote delivery of medication without the need for physical penetration of the skin,and remotely controlled cell manipulations are some of the possible uses of the proposed technology.

文摘On the basis of the model tests,this paper explores the coupled hydrodynamic performance of the moonpool and the hull.This study aims to compare and analyze the variation in the hull heave response between the piston resonance state of the moonpool under wave excitation and the non-resonance state of the moonpool under wave-current excitation.A novel damping device specifically designed and fabricated for stepped moonpools has been developed.Before and after the installation of the damping device,the free surface response characteristics of the moonpool and heave motion response characteristics of the hull are compared.The findings show a clear correlation between the current speed and heave response characteristics of the hull.During the seakeeping design phase of the drilling vessel,the current speed is an additional critical factor that cannot be disregarded,alongside the moonpool effect.A correlation exists between the fluid dynamics occurring within the moonpool and the heave motion of the vessel hull.A reduction in the amplitude of the motion of the moonpool water results in a decrease in the heave motion of the hull.This study provides a reference for alleviating the seakeeping of a drill ship’s heave response and enhancing the safety and efficiency of the operation.

文摘This study experimentally investigates the oscillatory dynamics of wind-driven droplets using high-speed imaging to capture droplet profiles within the symmetry plane and to characterize their natural oscillation frequencies.Results reveal that the eigenfrequencies vary spatially due to distinct oscillation modes occurring at different droplet locations.Notably,the fundamental eigenfrequency decreases with reducing droplet volume,while droplet viscosity exerts minimal influence on this frequency.Prior to the onset of motion,the dynamic contact angle consistently remains between the advancing and receding angles.The inertial forces generated by droplet oscillation are found to be significantly greater than the adhesion forces,indicating that classical static models are inadequate for capturing inertial contributions to droplet motion.These findings offer new insights into the role of oscillatory behavior in influencing the dynamics of droplet motion,and contribute to a more detailed understanding of wind-driven droplet transport phenomena.
