This paper provides an overview of previous literature on snake robot locomotion. In particular, the paper considers previous research efforts related to modelling of snake robots, physical development of these mechanisms, and finally control design efforts for snake locomotion. The review shows...

In this study n- and p-type polished Czochralski-grown Si (Cz-Si) and p-type polished and as-cut multi-crystalline (mc) Si wafers have been directly H plasma treated in a plasma enhanced chemical vapour system in order to study H subsurface defect formation. Raman spectroscopy, secondary ion mass...

Copper decoration has been used to identify defects in n-type silicon wafers containing P-bands. This was done by depositing Cu(NO3)2 solution onto the wafer, followed by heat treatment. This technique has been shown to be fast and effective for decorating different kinds of defects in silicon. The...

Single Edge Notch Tension (SENT) tests have been carried out on girth welded X80 pipeline steel using two different weld materials to investigate the effect of weld metal mismatch on ductile crack growth. In addition to the traditional clip gauge CMOD/CTOD measurements, information has been obtained...

The main advantage of Electric Swing Adsorption (ESA) process is related to the fast heating rates that can be achieved by Joule effect. Since this heating is done by passing electricity, its utilization should be efficient to reduce the overall losses of the system. This work discusses the heat...

In this study, we have considered Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology natural gas purification and integrated CO₂ capture. We present the utilization of Dual-PSA technology for obtaining pipeline-quality methane and integrated CO₂ capture. In the initial simulation example, a binary stream...
