Electroactive Polymers for Robotic Application : Artificial Muscles and Sensors
Electroactive polymers (EAPs) respond to electrical stimulation with large deformations. They are dynamic actuators which have attracted attention from an interdisciplinary audience of engineers and scientists. An enabling EAP technology is emerging which attempts to imitate the properties of natural muscle and which, as a result, can perform a unique function in a variety of biologically-inspired robotics applications. Electroactive Polymers for Robotics Applications covers the fundamental properties, modelling and demonstration of EAPs in robotic applications, focusing particularly on artificial muscles and sensors. Ionic Polymer–Metal Composite Actuators and Dielectric Elastomers are discussed within the book with chapters on their properties and their uses in robotics applications.
Direct and indirect resin composite veneers
Re-establishing a patient’s lost dental asthetic appearance is one of the most important topics for contemporary dentistry.New treatment materials and methods have been coming on the scene, day by day, in order to achieve such an aim. Most dentists prefer more conservative and aesthetic approaches. Laminate veneers are restorations which are envisioned to correct existing abnormalities, esthetic deficiencies and discolorations. Laminate veneer restorations may be processed in two different ways: direct or indirect. Direct resin composite veneers are one of the most commonly used restorations in the treatment of poor esthetics in anterior teeth presenting unsatisfactory colour and shape, defective restorations, slight misalignment and fractures.
Diastema (diagnosis & management)
Management strategies for midline diastema include addressing the underlying cause, habit correction, and potential orthodontic or restorative treatments. Orthodontic options like traditional braces, clear aligners, and lingual braces are effective in closing the gaps. Restorative treatments such as composite bonding, porcelain veneers, and ceramic crowns also offer solutions, with each method tailored to the patient’s specific needs. Despite numerous studies on environmental factors influencing diastema, the genetic basis remains under researched. Proper diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term retention are crucial for successful diastema management.
Designers' guide to EN1991-1-2, EN1992-1-2, EN1993-1-2 and EN1994-1-2 : Handbook for the fire design of steel, composite and concrete structures to the Eurocodes
The nature of the loading must first be understood before applying the structural engineering principles set out in the Eurocodes. For this reason this book is meant as a guide to four separate documents, EN1991 Part 1.2, EN1992 Part 1.2, EN1993 Part 1.2 and EN1994 Part 1.2 with reference where appropriate to the Eurocode covering the basis of design, EC06.
