New robot concept uses responsive materials to swim through water
When we think of robots, we normally think of motors and batteries and electronics, but engineers at Caltech and ETH Zurich have created a swimming robot that's powered by material deformation. That means it's made using materials that change shape in response to temperature swings, and that deformation pushes the device through water.
Line and Point Defects in Nonlinear Anisotropic Solids
In this paper, we present some analytical solutions for the stress fields of nonlinear anisotropic solids with distributed line and point defects.
Wiki surface - an open access encyclopedia of surfaces
Dear Mechanicians,
a new project at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca (Lucca, Italy) has just been launched to create the first open access database of rough surfaces from nature and technology, see:
http://musam.imtlucca.it/wikisurf.html
People are invited to contribute to the database by providing images of surfaces acquired using experimental techniques, as well as the corresponding elevation data field (raw x,y,z data in columns).
