Flexible electro-hydraulic power chips by Chao Zhang, Jionghao Chen, Changyi Xu, Tairan He, Xiaolong Zhang, Junhui Zhang, Ximing Sun, Bing Xu, Yi Zhu, Huayong Yang

“…Abstract Emerging soft systems, including soft robots or wearable devices, actuated by fluidic means facilitate a series of inherent benefits, including safe human-robot interactions, lower costs, and adaptability in geometry for manipulating delicate objects. However, existing fluidic soft systems are facing a critical barrier: how to get rid of traditional rigid, bulky, and redundant fluid power/control components as well as develop their own flexible, portable, and universal fluidic components for implementing fully flexible, multi-circuit, and untethered autonomous systems. …”

Optimization of determination and application of complexly distributed loads on a double curvature cable-stayed covering by V. A. Dagaev, G. M. Purvin, F. S. Shkoliar

“…The process of optimization of the collection of loads on curvilinear forms was more clearly demonstrated on the example of determination and application of snow and wind loads on the cable-stayed covering of double curvature of the velodrome building, as, according to normative documents, the geometry of the building depends on the transition coefficient from the weight of the snow cover of the ground to the snow load on the covering and the aerodynamic coefficient, which, as a rule, are determined by the results of blowing, but in order to reduce the labour intensity of the study, the distribution zones of these coefficients were interpolated according to the forms already available in normative documents.Results. …”
