Abstract: Curved origami-based meta-material, manufacturing method of the same, curved origami-based haptic module and a method for producing active mechanical haptics. The curved origami-based metamaterial includes a panel having a single curved crease extending in its longitudinal direction, which divides the panel into two facets at its two opposite sides. The panel is configured to be folded along the single curved crease to form a folding angle between the two facets. The folding angle is configured to be adjustable to achieve a variable stiffness when loaded in a vertical direction of the folded panel, covering positive stiffness to negative stiffness.
Abstract: A wing structure for a vehicle includes a plurality of multi-connecting-rod structures, the multi-connecting-rod structures are arranged along the main body of the vehicle, each of the multi-connecting-rod structure being arranged in a direction extending from a main body of the vehicle to a wingtip, each of the multi-connecting-rod structures comprising a plurality of connecting rods, and the connecting rods that are adjacent to each other being connected by a motor, a plurality of groups of ribs are sleeved onto each of the multi-connecting-rod structures, and each group of the ribs comprises a plurality of rib units, wherein in the same group of the ribs, adjacent rib units are connected by a ball hinge. The present technical solution can perform adjustment on a complex flow field or environment, the motion speed and the motion efficiency are significantly improved, and high maneuvering actions can be achieved.
Abstract: A fast harmless treatment device for a hazardous flexible material is provided. The fast harmless treatment device includes a container body and a container lid, where a bottom plate is fixed at a near-bottom position of the container body; a movable plate is provided in the container body; there is a gap between an outer edge of the movable plate and an inner wall of the container body; a movement mechanism is configured to compress a hazardous flexible material on the movable plate towards the container lid; the container lid and the movable plate each are provided therein with a heating tube; and a heating tube and a blowing device are provided on the bottom plate to cause high-temperature convection and disinfect an aerosol-mixed gas.
