A robust fuzzy logic-based model for predicting the critical total drawdown in sand production in oil and gas wells.

PloS one
Sand management is essential for enhancing the production in oil and gas reservoirs. The critical total drawdown (CTD) is used as a reliable indicator of the onset of sand production; hence, its accurate prediction is very important. There are many p...

Dactyls and inward gripping stance for amphibious crab-like robots on sand.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sandy beaches are areas that challenge robots of all sizes, especially smaller scale robots. Sand can hinder locomotion and waves apply hydrodynamic forces which can displace, reorient, or even invert the robot. Crab-like legs and gaits are well suit...
