2D Spring-block model to study the transition from static to kinetic friction of complex-micro-textured contact surfaces
(Elsevier, 2023)The capability of complex micro-texturing technique for tuning the transition from static to kinetic friction is investigated based on a two-dimensional (2D) lattice spring block model. Results reveal that implementation ... -
3D microstructure design of lithium-ion battery electrodes assisted by X-ray nano-computed tomography and modelling.
(2020-04-29)Driving range and fast charge capability of electric vehicles are heavily dependent on the 3D microstructure of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) and substantial fundamental research is required to optimise electrode design for ... -
3D models of chondrocytes within biomimetic scaffolds: Effects of cell deformation from loading regimens.
(2020-10)BACKGROUND: Mechanical conditioning has been widely used to attempt to enhance chondrocyte metabolism for the evolution of functionally competent cartilage. However, although upregulation of proteoglycans have been reported ... -
3D printable and fringe electric field adhesion enabled variable stiffness artificial muscles for semi-active vibration attenuation.
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-06-16)Soft robots are able to generate large and compliant deformation in an unconstructed environment, but their operation capability is limited by low stiffness. Thus, developing the function of variable stiffness while ... -

4D Printing of Humidity-Driven Seed Inspired Soft Robots
(Wiley, 2023)Geraniaceae seeds represent a role model in soft robotics thanks to their ability to move autonomously across and into the soil driven by humidity changes. The secret behind their mobility and adaptivity is embodied in the ... -
4D Printing of Humidity‐Driven Seed Inspired Soft Robots (Adv. Sci. 9/2023)
(Wiley, 2023-02-01)In article number 2205146, Stefano Mariani, Nicola M. Pugno, Barbara Mazzolai, and co-workers develop a seed-inspired soft robot using 4D printed biodegradable polymers. Driven by humidity changes, the artificial seed ... -
