Application of artificial muscle e-rubber for healthcare sensing: verification of measurement properties as a smart insole by Hidemasa Yoneda, Hidemasa Yoneda, Takashi Yamaga, Takeshi Fujiwara, Yoko Komori, Masatoshi Shimada, Yuki Kato, Shintaro Oyama, Shingo Shimoda, Michiro Yamamoto, Hitoshi Hirata

“…However, for the sensor embedded within the insole housing, the coefficient of variation increased to less than 8%, and the confidence interval was 1.5%, likely owing to the influence of gaps within the insole structure. Regarding the load estimation equation, a 5th-order polynomial approximation (R2 &gt;0.999) demonstrated the best fit, indicating that it is sufficiently accurate for healthcare sensing applications. …”

Study on the Dynamic Properties of Concrete under Freeze-Thaw Cycles and CT Fine View Damage by Liangting Wang, Zhishan Zheng, Zheng Xiahou, Xijian Chao, Ming Xia

“…The results showed the following. (1) The concrete specimens were divided into linear elastic stage, plastic stage, and damage stage under the freeze-thaw cycle, and the macroscopic mechanical parameters of the specimens were weakened with the increase of the number of freeze-thaw cycles. (2) Freeze-thaw intensified the expansion and penetration of the internal fracture of the specimens, and the CT scan results showed that the internal fracture parameters of the concrete specimens were increased with the increase of the number of freeze-thaw cycles, and the structural characteristics of the internal fracture show gradually complex expansion and evolution characteristics. (3) The degree of damage was defined at the fine level, which increased with the number of freeze-thaw cycles, establishing an intrinsic link between the fine deterioration of concrete specimens and the loss of macroscopic parameters under freeze-thaw cycles. …”
