A heterogeneously integrated lithium niobate-on-silicon nitride photonic platform

Rui Ning Wang, Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Miles Henry Anderson, Mikhail Churaev, Anat Siddharth, Viacheslav Snigirev

The availability of thin-film lithiumniobate on insulator (LNOI) and advances in processing have led to the emergence of fully integrated LiNbO3 electro-optic devices. Yet to date, LiNbO3 photonic integrated circuits have mostly been fabricated using non-s ...

Proposed Panel Zone Model for Beam-To-Column Joints in Steel Moment Resisting Frames

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady, Andronikos Skiadopoulos

In capacity designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), beam-to-column joints (i.e., panel zones) are designed to remain elastic. To potentially exploit the beneficial aspects of the stable panel zone hysteretic response in shear, a robust panel zone mo ...

Model Predictive Control for Multi-Agent Systems under Limited Communication and Time-Varying Network Topology

Melanie Nicole Zeilinger, Danilo Saccani

In control system networks, reconfiguration of the controller when agents are leaving or joining the network is still an open challenge, in particular when operation constraints that depend on each agent's behavior must be met. Drawing our motivation from ...

Umbrella Meshes: Elastic Mechanisms for Freeform Shape Deployment

Mark Pauly, Uday Kusupati, Yingying Ren, Florin Isvoranu, Tian Chen, Davide Pellis

We present a computational inverse design framework for a new class of volumetric deployable structures that have compact rest states and deploy into bending-active 3D target surfaces. Umbrella meshes consist of elastic beams, rigid plates, and hinge joint ...
