Symmetric single-input eccentric tube robot (ETR) for manual use by Mayer Juliane, Dumancic Marcel, Pott Peter P.

“…A model for curvature as a function of input angle is presented, and a prototype ETR with an outer diameter of 1 mm is assembled and evaluated. The results show that the ETR follows the expected shape, the curvature decreasing with the separation angle in an almost linear way that may be perceived as intuitive and predictable by the human user. …”

Analysis of Extent of Deformation Range and Failure Characteristics of Rocks Surrounding a Tunnel Crossing Fault Zone Based on FDEM by Guo Xiaoxiong, Wang Ning, Xu Xueliang, Ye Zihui

“…Analysis of the results showed that the disturbance range of surrounding rocks could reach 1.5 to 2.5 times the tunnel diameter when crossing the fault zone. The rock surrounding the tunnel was found to incur significant conjugate shear deformation and extrusion deformation: conjugate shear deformation was identified as dominant in the deep rock mass, whereas extrusion deformation prevailed in the rock mass near the cave wall. …”
