The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is successfully employed in a variety of projection-based methods for parametric model order reduction (pMOR) of large dynamical systems. It extracts the most energetic modes describing the dynamics of a system fro ...

Biomimetic and bioinspired design is not only a potent resource for roboticists looking to develop robust engineering systems or understand the natural world. It is also a uniquely accessible entry point into science and technology. Every person on Earth c ...

In a MOSFET transistor, the subthreshold swing defines the switching efficiency, and the associated slope factor, or so-called body factor, is a critical parameter in charge-based models. However, in an advanced Fully -Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator (FDSOI) ...

Majority of the past research on application of machine learning (ML) in earthquake engineering focused on contrasting the predictive performance of different ML algorithms. In contrast, the emphasis of this paper is on the use of data to boost the predict ...

Thermal stability of perovskite materials is an issue impairing the long-term operation of inverted per-ovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, the thermal attenuation mechanism of the MAPbI3 films that deposited on two different hole transport layers (HTL), p ...

This paper proposes and experimentally validates a joint control and scheduling framework for a grid-forming converter-interfaced Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) providing multiple services to the electrical grid. The framework is designed to dispat ...

Silicon photonic circuits are rapidly growing in complexity and spreading to new applications. However, programmable circuits consume much power and require active electrical interfaces. For the first time, we demonstrate a nonvolatile photonic MEMS pi-pha ...

Les deltas lacustres sont des systèmes largement anthropisés rendant des services écosystémiques importants à l’Homme et à son environnement. Les travaux de protection contre les crues du siècle passé ont conduit à considérer l’embouchure comme un vecteur ...

Small-scale soft mobile robots are an attractive solution to gain access to hard-to-reach places. We demonstrate a thin (similar to 4 mm) and flexible mobile robot, 8 cm x 9 cm, mass 4 g, that uses 6 electrostatic zipping actuators with hydraulic coupling, ...

Compressor fouling is one of the most prevalent fault modes that contribute to the performance degradation of a gas turbine power plant. Off-line washing is a standard maintenance procedure to recover the fouling degradation, but with washing cost. In this ...

Background Spinal cord injury leading to paraplegia affects the mobility and physiological well-being of one in a thousand people. Powered exoskeletons can temporarily restore the ability to walk. Their relevance in daily life is still limited because of l ...

Design of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures outlines a new design methodology for digitally fabricated spatial timber plate structures, presented with examples from recent construction projects. It proposes an innovative and sustainable design me ...

We demonstrate a novel technique of contour-mode suppression of an integrated MEMS-photonic chip up to the first HBAR mode at 17 MHz. The flattened actuation response is critical to the development of compact LiDAR engine or low-noise frequency-agile laser ...

The fluid hammer phenomenon is a devastating incident that can cause substantial damages to the hydraulic systems. If the fluid reaches the vapor pressure due to high pressure gradients, the phenomenon is called column separation. In this study, the overpr ...

Despite its simplicity, which makes it the most commonly used bioprinting method today, extrusion-based bioprinting suffers from its inability to reproduce the complex tissue architecture found in organs. Generally, this printing method allows for the disp ...

Tensors, or multidimensional arrays, are data structures that can naturally represent visual data of multiple dimensions. Inherently able to efficiently capture structured, latent semantic spaces and high-order interactions, tensors have a long history of ...

The recent availability of consumer-level head-mounted displays and omnidirectional cameras has been driving an explosion of 360 video content. Transforming the original recorded 360 video content in meaningful interactive multimedia presentations that sup ...

We present an outline of the field of Design Understanding and summarize state-of-the-art research in deriving human-understandable knowledge in form of logic properties from an unknown design. ...

Understanding and adapting the underlying principles of biological systems to engineering systems have the promise of enabling many new mechatronic systems that can operate in unstructured and uncertain environments robustly and efficiently. This paper fir ...
