Contact Dynamic Behaviors of Magnetic Hydrogel Soft Robots by Yunian Shen, Yiming Zou

“…This paper improves the numerical computational method for hydrogel materials with magneto-mechanical coupling effect, analyses the inchworm-like contact motion of the biomimetic bipedal magnetic hydrogel soft robot, and designs and optimizes the robot’s structure. In the constitutive model, a correction factor representing the influence of the direction of magnetic flux density on the domain density has been introduced. …”

Clustering of X-Ray-Selected AGN by N. Cappelluti, V. Allevato, A. Finoguenov

“…This result, together with model predictions, has lead to the hypothesis that galaxy mergers may constitute the main AGN-triggering mechanism. However, detailed analysis of observational data, acquired with modern telescopes, and the use of the new halo occupation formalism has revealed that the triggering of an AGN could also be attributed to phenomena-like tidal disruption or disk instability and to galaxy evolution. …”
