Soil-structure interface properties play an essential role in geotechnical engineering.The interface shear test is widely used to measure the interface properties.However, in the traditional interface shear test (TIST), distribution of shear stresses along contact surface is not uniform due to boundary effects.Thus, average mechanical response of t
Mending the mismatch of minds and mandates: reimagining competency-centric public service delivery in Bojonegoro Regency, Indonesia
Public service efficacy hinges on context-sensitive competencies, yet Indonesia contends with reconciling civil servant training and workplace realities, leaving the nexus between skill development and governance outcomes understudied.Employing a mixed-methods approach, we collected data from 130 civil servants across various hierarchical levels th
A Cylindrical Grip Type of Tactile Device Using Magneto-Responsive Materials Integrated with Surgical Robot Console: Design and Analysis
This paper proposes a cylindrical grip type of tactile device that Blueberry is effectively integrated to a surgical robot console so that a surgeon can easily touch and feel the same stiffness as the operating organs.This is possible since the yield stress (or stiffness) of magnetic-responsive materials can be tuned or controlled by the magnetic f
Study on nonlinear asymmetric thermomechanical stability of microsize FGM curved beams based on nonlocal couple stress curvature sensitive model
In the ongoing research examination, a meshfree-based numerical curvature sensitive framework is advanced to analyze the nonlinear asymmetric thermomechanical stability characteristics of microsize curved beams composed of functionally graded materials (FGMs) and subjected to an arbitrary-located concentrated load, uniform temperature rise as well
