, 2020 , Article)
The quality of a companion robot’s reaction is important to make it acceptable to the users and to sustain interactions. Furthermore, the robot’s reaction can be used to train socially acceptable behaviors and to develop ...
Isobaric Expansion Engines Powered by Low-Grade Heat-Working Fluid Performance and Selection Database for Power and Thermomechanical Refrigeration
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2020 , Article)
A database is developed for the most suitable working fluids for Worthington-type and Bush-type isobaric engines based on their performances for a wide range of heat source temperature, from 40 to 300 °C, and operating ...
Hierarchical honeycomb auxetic metamaterials
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Most conventional materials expand in transverse directions when they are compressed uniaxially resulting in the familiar positive Poisson’s ratio. Here we develop a new class of two dimensional (2D) metamaterials with ...
Electrodeposited white bronzes on brass: Corrosion in 3.5 % sodium chloride solution
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
White bronzes are electrodeposited coatings applied on brass as surface finishes. We report a comparative study on the corrosion resistance in chloride aqueous environment of two white bronzes, a Zn-bearing and a Zn-free. ...
