Ethanol (E100) can be utilised in spark ignition engines for passenger car vehicles. This
brings a challenge to the durability of the fuel injection system components since its use can …

Different from direct impact damage exerted by limbs of most organisms, mantis shrimps'
appendages can carry out ultra-fast, powerful underwater strikes with cavitation …

A numerical investigation into the ultrasound-induced collapse of air bubbles near soft
materials, utilizing a novel multi-material diffuse interface method (DIM) model with block …

We propose an impulsive motion generator inspired by snapping shrimp. The proposed
device mimics the geometrical arrangement of a unique claw joint called cocking slip joint …

A mechanical device inspired by the pistol shrimp snapper claw was developed. This
technology features a claw characterized by a periodic opening/closing motion, at a …

We present the numerical simulations of the flow in a simple mechanical device inspired by
the snapping-claw mechanism of alpheidae shrimps. The simulations were based on the …

Experimental and numerical results are reported for the internal and external flow fields
evolving in a bio-inspired snapping plunger. The experimental evidence underlines the …

In this letter, we describe simulations and experiments on the occurrence of cavitation with
an instantaneous force generation mechanism based on the motion of the mantis shrimp …

Traditional underwater acoustic jammers are usually large and complex, which causes
frogman troops to be exposed in communication-jamming missions. In this paper, a new …

Snapping shrimps close their special shaped claw to generate a cavitating water jet with
high speed, and the pressure pulse can be generated by cavitating bubble bursting. The …
