Measurements of near-ultimate strength for multiwalled carbon nanotubes and irradiation-induced crosslinking improvements.
Bei Peng,Mark A Locascio,Peter Zapol,Shuyou Li,Steven L. Mielke,George C. Schatz,Horacio D. Espinosa +6 more
TL;DR: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes with a mean fracture strength >100 GPa are reported, which exceeds earlier observations by a factor of approximately three and are in excellent agreement with quantum-mechanical estimates for nanot tubes containing only an occasional vacancy defect, and are approximately 80% of the values expected for defect-free tubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Multiscale Study of High Performance Double-Walled Nanotube−Polymer Fibers
Mohammad Naraghi,Tobin Filleter,Alexander P. Moravsky,Mark A Locascio,Raouf O. Loutfy,Horacio D. Espinosa +5 more
TL;DR: High performance double-walled nanotube (DWNT)-polymer composite yarns formed by twisting and stretching of ribbons of randomly oriented bundles of DWNTs thinly coated with polymeric organic compounds are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tailoring the Load Carrying Capacity of MWCNTs Through Inter-shell Atomic Bridging
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown conclusively through a rigorous TEM imaging study that this enhancement occurs as a result of multiple-shell load transfer through irradiation-induced crosslinks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear reactive control for efficient 2D and 3D bipedal walking over rough terrain
TL;DR: Techniques in evolutionary robotics are used to explore the potential of a purely reactive, linear controller to control bipedal locomotion over rough terrain and show that linear reactive control can enable a seven-link 2D biped and a nine-link 3D biping to walk overrough terrain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear reactive control of three-dimensional bipedal walking in the presence of noise and uncertainty
TL;DR: The present simulation study shows that this novel reactive control framework for 3D bipedal walking performs reliably in the presence of realistic models of joint actuation, sensor noise, and uncertainty in model and contact parameters.
