Application and Analysis of an Ionic Liquid Gel in a Soft Robot by Chenghong Zhang, Bin He, Zhipeng Wang, Yanmin Zhou, Aiguo Ming

“…Due to their light weight, flexibility, and low energy consumption, ionic electroactive polymers have become a hotspot for bionic soft robotics and are ideal materials for the preparation of soft actuators. Because the traditional ionic electroactive polymers, such as ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs), contain water ions, a soft actuator does not work properly upon the evaporation of water ions. …”

Mimic defense authentication method for physical access control by Qinglei ZHOU, Shaohuan BAN, Yingjie HAN, Feng FENG

“…To address the security problem of the vulnerability of the authentication methods of traditional physical access control systems,a mimic defense authentication method was designed based on the principle of mimic defense technique and its dynamic heterogeneous redundant architecture (DHR),using mobile 2D code as the interface and dynamic password as the core.First,the actuator pool of the authentication server was constructed.Then,a central controller consisting of functional modules such as input distribution agent,selector and voter was used to dynamically schedule heterogeneous redundant actuators from the actuator pool.Finally,a multimode ruling on the heterogeneous redundant actuator output to determine the authentication result was made by the voter.The experimental results show that the proposed authentication method has higher security and reliability compared to the traditional physical access control system authentication method,and at the same time,it can be used in combination with other authentication methods.…”

Dynamic Simulation of a Warship Control Valve Based on a Mechanical-Electric-Fluid Cosimulation Model by Jiazhen Han, Yudong Xie, Yong Wang, Qixian Wang

“…In engineering practice, the fluid oscillation inside the control valve causes the additional load to the valve actuator. When the additional load is added to the original load of the valve, it is possible that the required driving force (or driving moment) of the valve is greater than the maximum force (or moment) output by the actuator, which may cause the abnormal stop of the actuator. …”
