Development of an Inertially-Actuated Passive Dynamic Technique to Enable Single-Step Climbing by Wheeled Robots
… that was investigated for this project is a sliding mass-spring that shifts forward and backward based on the acceleration of the base robot. With high acceleration, the mass is pushed towards the rear wheel from an inertial force and compresses a spring that creates a moment on the body to …

Homeostatic-inspired controller algorithm for a hybrid-driven autonomous underwater glider
… controller was able to optimise the ballast mass and distance of the sliding mass in order to achieve the desired pitch angle by shortening the sliding mass distance up to 53.7% and reducing the ballast mass up to 17.7% when compared with the LQR and MPC. Overall, the homeostatic controller …

Analytical and Spectro-Spatial Analyses of Nonlinear Metamaterials for Vibration Control, Energy Harvesting, and Acoustic Non-Reciprocity
… metamaterials are modeled as a chain of masses with multiple local resonators attached to each cell. The nonlinearity stems from the chain's stiffness in one case and the local resonator's stiffness in another. Analytical approximates solutions are obtained for each case using …

Analyzing internal shearing in compound landslides using MPM
… shearing is essential to develop feasible sliding mechanisms. The internal distortion is caused by the formation of shear bands that develop within the sliding mass. The strain localization is generally attributed to slope changes along the basal sliding surface (or topography) that …

Shared memory parallelization for large scale 3D polyhedral particle simulations
… complex system by showing the distribution of sliding mass that followed a power law relationship. The parallelized particle-based simulation extends the limits of application size by reducing computational cost. The parallelized code is successfully exploited for the study of granular material …

Trajectory Optimisation Inspired Design for Legged Robotics
… gait (for both bipeds and quadrupeds), with a sliding mass template model emerging for all results. Another discrepancy between the literature and nature is that animals have active spines which have been shown to aid in rapid locomotion tasks. In the robotics literature a number of spines …
