A gas cushion-microvibration synergic demolding device and method for curing soil test pieces
By constructing a gas-lubricated interface between the inner wall of the mold and the specimen and coordinating with micro-vibration, the problem of damage to the solidified soil specimen during demolding was solved, achieving non-destructive demolding under low stress and improving the molding integrity of the specimen.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot avoid micro-damage to solidified soil specimens during demolding, especially under high viscosity or early curing conditions. Traditional rigid ejection methods are prone to top surface cracking, edge peeling, or sidewall tearing, while existing pneumatic demolding devices are prone to causing localized erosion damage to the bottom.
An air cushion-micro-vibration coordinated demolding device is adopted. By constructing a uniform gas lubrication interface between the inner wall of the mold and the specimen, and combining it with low-amplitude micro-vibration to destroy the static friction of the interface, non-destructive demolding is achieved.
This technology significantly reduces the mechanical ejection force required for demolding, avoids stress concentration, ensures specimen integrity, and provides a stable and reliable non-destructive demolding technique.
