Load distribution patterns and structural effects of IEA 15MW wind turbine under downburst wind field

Downbursts, which are intense, short-duration, highly non-stationary and non-synoptic outflows generated by severe thunderstorms, pose a significant threat to the structural safety of large-scale wind turbines, particularly in regions with abundant wind resources but frequent con...

Octopus-inspired muscle activation unlocks high-DOF motion from a single actuator

While soft robots leverage compliant materials to offer infinite degrees of freedom (DOFs), achieving dexterous motions usually requires numerous actuators, making the robot bulky, complex to assemble, and discontinuously segmented. Here, inspired by the octopus neuromuscular jun...
