Article Abstract
Displaying tactile feedback through a touchscreen via electrovibration has many potential applications in mobile devices, consumer electronics, home appliances and automotive industry though our knowledge and understanding of the underlying contact mechanics are very limited. An experimental study was conducted to investigate the contact evolution between the human finger and a touch screen under electrovibration using a robotic set-up and an imaging system. The results show that the effect of electrovibration is only present during full slip but not before slip. Hence, the coefficient of friction increases under electrovibration as expected during full slip, but the apparent contact area is significantly smaller during full slip when compared to that of no electrovibration condition. It is suggested that the main cause of the increase in friction during full slip is due to an increase in the real contact area and the reduction in apparent area is due to stiffening of the finger skin in the tangential direction.

Numerical study on bearing performance of rock socketed pile anchored by inclined anchors under uplift and horizontal combined load.
Sci Rep
August 2025
School of Civil Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing, 401400, China.
Rock-socketed pile anchored by inclined anchors (RPIA) is a novel pile-anchor composite foundation developed to address the challenges of transmission tower installations in mountainous areas. This study investigates the bearing performance of RPIA under uplift-horizontal combined load using a nonlinear numerical model validated through full-scale field tests. Parametric analyses were conducted to examine the effects of inclined anchor length, angle and diameter, as well as connection node depth, on RPIA performance.

Background: Since its initial description, the modified Dunn procedure has emerged as a valuable surgical option for treating slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), particularly in cases of severe deformity. Previous literature has focused on complications and short-term results following this procedure, but little is known about the morphologic development of the upper femoral epiphysis following successful treatment with the modified Dunn technique, uncomplicated by osteonecrosis.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, including all modified Dunn procedures performed by 7 surgeons from 4 centers.
Experimental investigation on structural behavior of composite slabs with steel decking, fiber-reinforced concrete, and lightweight aggregate concrete layers.

This study experimentally investigates the structural behavior of steel-concrete composite slabs under monotonic loading, with a focus on evaluating the influence of fiber content, fiber types, layer arrangement, and screw density on their performance. Twelve composite slabs, consisting of two layers of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) and fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) cast on steel decking, were fabricated and subjected to four-point bending tests. Experimental variables included fiber volumes (0.

Background: Complex proximal femoral deformities such as slipped capital femoral epiphyses (SCFE) or residual Perthes disease pose challenging clinical problems due to the severity of pathological femoral head and neck changes from long-standing childhood disease. Utilizing the combination of surgical dislocation (SD) and proximal femoral osteotomy (PFO) is an option to address both the intra-articular pathologies as well as the maximal correction of the proximal femoral deformities. The purpose of this systematic review was to report clinical and radiographical outcomes for patients undergoing these combined procedures.
