Article Abstract
Robots can benefit from touch perception for enhanced interaction. Interaction involves tactile sensing devices, contact objects, and complex directional force motions (normal and shear) in between. We introduce a comprehensive theory unifying them to advance sensor design, explain shear-induced performance drops, and suggest application scenarios. Our theory, based on sensor isolines, achieves superresolution sensing with sparse units, avoiding dense layouts. Through structural analysis of the sensor perception field, force sensitivity, and contact object effects, we also explore the force direction influences: normal, tangential shear, and radial shear forces. The model predicts an inherent accuracy reduction under shear forces compared to pure normal forces. Validation used Barodome, a 3D sensor predicting contact locations and decoupling shear/normal forces. Its performance confirmed the significant impact of shear forces, with observed drops (0.5 mm) closely matching theoretical predictions (0.33 mm). This theory provides valuable guidance for future tactile sensor design and advanced robotic touch systems.

Atherosclerosis is a progressive process resulting from endothelial dysfunction, primarily caused by damage to the integrity of the glycocalyx. Its pathogenesis is complex and involves numerous biomechanical and biochemical factors, such as blood pressure, shear forces, lipid metabolism disorders, monocyte migration and their transformation into macrophages, immune response, lipid accumulation, neovascularization, and activation of coagulation. Recently, the possibility of atherosclerosis regression has been confirmed, although the mechanisms behind the reversal of changes remain unknown.

Understanding the mechanical behavior of the biceps femoris long head (BFlh) may be insightful due to its high susceptibility to strain injuries, particularly during high-speed running in sports, such as soccer and track and field. While prior research has focused on intrinsic muscle properties, emerging evidence suggests that the biceps femoris short head (BFsh) may influence BFlh tension. Thus, we examined the effects of BFsh load application on the tensile strength and regional shear modulus of the BFlh.

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are important soft actuators that show strong promise in many fields where traditional rigid actuators or robotics are impractical. However, their real-world applications are lacking primarily due to inadequate actuation performance and complicated fabrication processes. Here, a novel design is reported that significantly enhances actuation performance while simplifying the fabrication process.

Sectionally nonlinearly functionally graded (SNFG) structures with triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) are considered ideal for bone implants because they closely replicate the hierarchical, anisotropic, and porous architecture of natural bone. The smooth gradient in material distribution allows for optimal load transfer, reduced stress shielding, and enhanced bone ingrowth, while TPMS provides high mechanical strength-to-weight ratio and interconnected porosity for vascularization and tissue integration. Wherein, The SNFG structure contains sections with thickness that varies nonlinearly along their length in different patterns.
