Researchers developed a hyperelastic torque reversal mechanism, enhancing soft robots' performance with rapid and powerful ...

It's not easy turning gigantic, stiff chunks of rubber into thin, elastic rubber bands. In fact, the process is insanely complicated. Thanks to our friends at Science Channel for sharing this ...

Consider Example 4.D.3 from the lecture book. Here, a disk of mass is tied to a rubber band, with the opposite end of the rubber ban being tied to a peg at A. The disk is set into motion at the ...

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

A research team has developed the “hyperelastic torque reversal mechanism” (HeTRM), inspired by natural principles, allowing robots made of rubber-like materials to perform rapid, powerful ...
