A 3D spacer knitted fabric was used as a barrier between the researcher's foot and the ground. For the purpose of the research, 7–11 mm thick knitted fabrics with longitudinal elasticity from 45–90 kPa were designed and produced on a double-bar warp knitting machine. The FreeMed Professional

Structural characteristics properties of sugarcane bagasse and its sound absorption as composites Text. Res. J. (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-02-20 Jiaxin Pan, Xinghai Zhou, Yuan Gao, Yongfang Qian, Lihua Lyu
Noise pollution is one of the serious environmental pollutions. In recent years, the preparation of sound absorption composites using natural fibers as reinforcement material has attracted much attention. Sugarcane bagasse is a by-product of sugarcane. In order to improve the utilization rate of sugarcane bagasse, enrich and expand the application field of its renewable resources, sugarcane bagasse

Analysis and experimental investigation of the factors influencing the grasping of planar flaky deformation objects in a laid-out configuration Text. Res. J. (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-02-20 Yuan Huan, Gongchang Ren, Xiangyu Su, Weizhi Tian, Jiangong Sun
This study endeavors to elucidate the salient factors that influence the efficacy of roller-based robotic manipulators in grasping multi-layered flaky deformation objects in a planar configuration. Through a rigorous force analysis of the grasping process, it was ascertained that the manipulation of flaky deformation objects is influenced by four forces. Subsequent analysis of the genesis of these
