Physiologically relevant in vitro models of stretchable biological tissues, such as muscle, lung, cardiac and gastro-intestinal tissues, should mimic the mechanical cues which cells are exposed to in their dynamic ...

With the ever increasing demand for energy reduction to stimulate sustainable development, new energy efficient manufacturing processes for advanced fibre-reinforced plastics (FRPs) are of great interest to overcome ...

Jet flows often have an important role in the water environment. The aim of this research is to study the dilution of jets due to complex velocity fields induced by internal solitary waves in stratified water. Direct ...

This paper investigates a new reconfigurable parallel mechanism consisting of three SvPS kinematic limbs. Induced by phase changes of a metamorphic spherical variable-axis joint (Sv), the SvPS limb is capable of changing ...
