- This paper presents experimental evidence of ultrasonically-assisted fluidisation in granular materials, and the consequent reduction in penetrator force and power requirement across a range of granular media. European Space Agency facilities support (www.esa.int/Education/Spin_Your_Thesis/Meet_the_teams_Dynamics) was awarded for a series of ultrasonic penetrator tests under different gravity environments at the European Large Centrifuge. The results were instrumental in securing further H2020 funding (731968) with industry partners IDS GeoRadar Srl, Singular Logic SA, Tracto-Technik GmbH and Robotnik Automation SLL for applications in underground robotics support to civil engineering.
