Topological acoustic tweezer and pseudo-spin states of acoustic topological insulators

Topological protection wave engineering in artificially structured media is at the forefront of metamaterials research. Acoustic analogs of electronic topological insulators have brought a lot of new opportunities for manipulating sound propagation and have attracted the attention of many scholars. A variety of artificial acoustic systems hosting topological edge states have been proposed. However, the pseudo-spin edge states at a boundary have not been clearly and intuitively characterized. In this article, we provide experimental verification of pseudo-spin states by the method of acoustic particle manipulation by using the rotation of the particle to describe the pseudo-spin sound field characteristics at the boundary of the acoustic topological insulator in detail. It indicates the existence of pseudo-spin–orbit coupling effects and pseudo-spin-related acoustic unidirectional transmission even if the defect exists. Furthermore, the pseudo-spin sound field can be used to control the rotation of multiple particles and droplets. This kind of topological acoustic tweezer with defect immunity has great application potential in the fields of biomedicine and materials science.

Cost-efficient 3D-printing can create a lot of new opportunities in engineering as it enables rapid prototyping of models and functional parts. In the present study, Polylactic acid (PLA) cubic specimens with different types of infill patterns (IPs), rectilinear, grid and cuboid, were additively manufactured by Fused Filament Fabrication 3D-printing. The PLA cubes are fabricated with one perimeter and different IPs density (10, 20, and 30%). Subsequently, the compressive strengths of the PLA materials were measured in two loading directions, i.e., the layers building direction is parallel (PD) to the loading axis and perpendicular (ND) to the loading direction. An optical microscope was used to examine the deformed IPs in both loading directions. The compressive flow stress curves of the PLA cubes infilled with rectilinear and grid patterns exhibited strong fluctuations with lower compressive strengths in the loading direction along ND. The PLA with 30% grid IP revealed a superior strength of ~12 kN in the loading direction along PD. On the contrary, the same material exhibited a worst compressive strength 3 kN along ND.

The Formable Object: A 24-Degree-of-Freedom Shape-Rendering Interface

Interacting with 3-D-shaped objects using bare hands represents a very intuitive way to explore object shapes and offers lots of new opportunities in the field of virtual reality and design. Only a few 3-D shape rendering interfaces are known in the literature so far, but their resolution is rather low and/or they are not actuated. Thus, a new parallel kinematic design for an actuated 3-D shape rendering interface with a comparatively high resolution is presented, which can be extended to cover larger interaction areas. Starting from a preliminary configuration, its kinematics is optimized for the rendering of basic shapes like cylinders or spheres. Due to its specific parallel kinematic design, where a determined system is gained by attaching one node to the environment, it can easily be mounted as an end-effector to kinesthetic haptic interfaces. The presented prototype of the formable object is evaluated with respect to its ability to render basic static and dynamic shapes as well as its maximum achievable mechanical stiffness.
