The dynamics of flow within a material transport network is dependent upon the dynamics of its power source. Responding to a change of these dynamics is critical for the fitness of living flow networks, e.g. the animal vasculature, which…
A pinned-free beam in axial fluid flow, subjected to feedback-based actuation at the pinned end, is investigated. The actuation may be a moment or a prescribed angle and it is proportional to the state (curvature, slope, or displacement) of…
Soft robotic systems are known for their flexibility and adaptability, but traditional physics-based models struggle to capture their complex, nonlinear behaviors. This study explores a data-driven approach to modeling the…
We study the buckling of a clamped beam immersed in a creeping flow within a rectangular channel. Via a combination of precision experiments, simulations, and theoretical modeling, we show how the instability depends on a pressure feedback…
Hydraulic valves, for the purpose of targeted pressure relief and damping, are a ubiquitous part of modern suspension systems. This paper deals with the analytical computation of fixed points of the dynamical system of a single-stage shock…
The presence of active forces in various biological and artificial systems may change how those systems behaves under forcing. We present a minimal model of a suspension of passive or active swimmers driven on the boundaries by…
This paper presents a comprehensive mathematical model of a servopneumatic system, aimed at its consolidation in literature. The work exploits system's friction forces, temperature and pressure evolution, heat transfer, leakage between…
Immersed nonlinear elements are prevalent in biological systems that require a preferential flow direction, such as the venous and the lymphatic system. We investigate here a certain class of models where the fluid is driven by peristaltic…
There is an emerging class of microfluidic bioreactors which possess long-term, closed circuit perfusion under sterile conditions with in vivo-like flow parameters. Integrated into microfluidics, peristaltic-like pneumatically actuated…
Torque-controlled actuators are critical components in mechatronic systems that closely interact with their environment, such as legged robots, collaborative manipulators, and exoskeletons. The performance and stability of these actuators…
This article presents a quasistatic model of a hydraulic actuator driven by a four-valve independent metering circuit. The presented model describes the quasistatic balance between the velocity and force and that between the flowrate and…
This paper presents a theoretical study on the influence of a discrete element in the nonlinear dynamics of a continuous mechanical system subject to randomness in the model parameters. This system is composed by an elastic bar, attached to…
The transport of lymph through the lymphatic vasculature is the mechanism for returning excess interstitial fluid to the circulatory system, and it is essential for fluid homeostasis. Collecting lymphatic vessels comprise a significant…
The precise measurement of the pressure of the gas enclosed in the starting volume of a static expansion system is important for achieving low measurement uncertainties. This work focuses on the valve closing process and the resulting…
Active emulsions and liquid crystalline shells are intriguing and experimentally realisable types of topological matter. Here we numerically study the morphology and spatiotemporal dynamics of a double emulsion, where one or two passive…
Modern hydraulic shock absorbers display a wealth of nonlinear effects such as hysteresis and instabilities at high flow rates. Despite their wide application in practically all vehicles, both on- and off-road, a universal analytical model…
Valvular heart diseases are growing concern in impoverished parts of the world, such as Southern-Africa, claiming more than 31 % of total deaths related to cardiovascular diseases. The ability to model the effects of regurgitant and…
This paper describes a robust linear time-invariant output-feedback control strategy to reduce turbulent fluctuations, and therefore skin-friction drag, in wall-bounded turbulent fluid flows, that nonetheless gives performance guarantees in…
We consider equivalent mechanical model of liquid sloshing in partially-filled cylindrical vessel; the model treats both the regime of linear sloshing, and strongly nonlinear sloshing regime. The latter is related to hydraulic impacts…
This paper treats possible solutions for vibration mitigation in reduced-order model of partially-filled liquid tank under impulsive forcing. Such excitation may lead to hydraulic impacts applied on the tank inner walls. Finite stiffness of…
