The current Eurocode revision process is sought to improve Eurocode 7 for application to rock engineering, while including only techniques and procedures that are in widespread customary use. The revision process has exposed much about the application of the Eurocodes to rock engineering, thereby offering hints as to what material should be included in the next revision – tentatively suggested for publication in 2035. Crucially, ideas have developed about how rock engineering practice may need to develop to embrace the principles on which the Eurocodes are based. In particular, aspects of determining the properties of rock masses, and design verification by observational methods, partial factors, numerical modelling, and prescriptive rules are all thought to require significant improvement or dramatic modification. This paper highlights challenges identified regarding the application of the Eurocodes to rock engineering, and which will need to be addressed in the future. Ideas are presented about how these challenges may be overcome, but these are given in the spirit of stimulating ongoing conversation within the rock mechanics and rock engineering community rather than presenting definite proposals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article talks about the development and characterization of fluid mechanical compliant actuators (FNA). It mentions equilibrium positions should be as large as possible, and use of five-fold arched, rotationally symmetrical basic structure to fulfill the task selected. It mentions about the classification of known suction gripper solutions in the developed classification for suction; and flexible systems based on elastomers.

The article talks about several topics such as determination of material parameters for the simulation of elastomer components and of compliant systems. It mentions about determination of the stationary stress-strain characteristics to prepare the evaluation of the Mullins effect; and selection and evaluation of the decisive distortion variable and to determine the material test.

The article talks about the development and characterization of fluid mechanical compliant actuators (FNA). It mentions about describing the elastic material behavior in the form of hyperelastic material laws; and the assumptions made for safeguarding the properties of the suction gripper are checked. It mentions about the classification of known suction gripper solutions in the developed classification for suction; and flexible systems based on elastomers.

The article talks about the application and tasks for inherent sensor system and the deformation properties of the suction pad. It mentions that the production of the capacitive sensor pattern is done with the hot press process as well as its cohesive integration as a material composite in the suction pad structure explained.
