Improving locomotion performance is the primary objective in studying vibration-driven
locomotion systems. In this paper, we report out recent progress within this topic from three …

To reduce the severity of high-magnitude vibrations and shock, end-stop buffers was used
for the most suspension cabs or seats of work vehicles. This paper employs a pair of …

The dynamics of a self-propelled capsule robot for small-bowel endoscopy driven by its
internal vibro-impact excitation is studied in this paper. Due to its complex anatomy, the …

This paper reports the experimental study of a vibro-impact self-propulsion technique
applying for small-bowel endoscopy by using a mesoscale capsule prototype, which is 56.9 …

This paper shows a new study on the effect of various dry and isotropic friction levels on the
progression and dynamic response of a vibro-impact locomotion system. An experimental …

This study investigates the dynamic behaviour and vibration transmission of impact
oscillators with nonlinear motion constraints. The proposed nonlinear motion constraint with …

In this paper, some of the scenarios that can occur in the numerical nonlinear non-smooth
response of a vibro-impact single-degree-of-freedom system, symmetrically constrained by …

This paper demonstrates a theoretical and experimental study on a universal vibro-impact
system with bidirectional drift. With a dedicated experimental rig that is able to verify …

To reduce potential trauma to the intestine caused by the rigid shell while also optimising its
progression efficiency, an elastomer coating was applied to a self-propelled capsule robot …

The large displacements caused by strong earthquakes in base-isolated structures
(buildings, bridges, strategic facilities, equipment,⋯) can excessively deform or damage the …
