Interface dynamics of soft solids with liquids, solids, and gels
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-01)Soft solids are commonly composed of polymeric networks suspended in liquids while maintaining their physical form. They have intermediate properties between viscous liquids and elastic solids, which are easily deformed ... -
The Physical Exoskeleton-User Interface: Investigating Modelling and Design of Coupling Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-27)The goal of Lower Limb Rehabilitation Exoskeletons is to provide active and passive support to the user for rehabilitation goals focused on the restoration of function and independence to the user. In circumstances where ... -
A study of volumetric contact modelling approaches in rigid tyre simulation for planetary rover application
(Inderscience, 2014-01-01)For planetary rover applications, a volumetric contact modelling approach is used to capture the dynamics of the rigid tyre/soil interface. The volumetric contact model allows for determining closed-form expressions for ...
