Detecting Loosening of Bolt‐Flanged Pipe Using Smoothed Pseudo Wigner–Ville Distribution: Digital Twin‐Based Approach Using Convolution Neural Networks

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, an integrated digital twin‐based fault‐diagnosis framework is proposed to detect bolt loosening in flanged pipe connections. The approach combines finite element‐based numerical modeling, experimental modal analysis, and advanced signal processing‐assisted deep learning to achieve reliable loosening detection under operational ...

A Two‐Stage Optimization Approach for Selecting Electric‐Flight Airports

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The decarbonization of short‐haul air transport has gained increasing attention, with electric aircraft emerging as a promising alternative to conventional short‐haul aviation. However, given the substantial investment anticipated for the necessary infrastructure, a strategic and globally coordinated selection of airports is imperative.

Safeguarded Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Environments

Optimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.
This paper uses a combination of Reinforcement Learning and Funnel Control to train a fast and safe controller for systems operating in changing environments. Furthermore, the presented formulation overcomes former limitations associated with the need for predefined reference trajectories.

Ecosystem engineers and functional dominance: when species loss matters for ecosystem function

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding when and why species loss affects community function in natural communities remains an open question in ecology. Recent cross‐system analyses have shown that functional dominance is associated with whether species loss matters: in communities dominated by few high‐performing species, lost species contribute little to function.

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

Quantitative Evaluation of Surface Whitening Mitigation via Thermal Annealing in Carbon Fiber/Polyphenylene Sulphide Thermoplastic Composite Laminates

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Mitigation of surface whitening in CF/PPS laminates via thermal annealing and quantitative image‐based assessment. ABSTRACT Surface whitening is a manufacturing‐induced surface defect in thermoplastic composites, resulting from non‐uniform shrinkage and near‐surface resin instability during cooling.

Architectural Tailoring and Reinforcement Strategies for Improved Bearing Strength in Thick Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Laminates

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the investigated laminate architectures and reinforcement strategies used to evaluate their effects on the bearing performance and failure behaviour of thick carbon fibre/epoxy laminates. ABSTRACT This study provides a unified experimental comparison of 11 joint configurations in thick (7–12 mm) vacuum‐infused CFRP laminates ...

Structural Performance of Hybrid Fiber–Metal Laminates Reinforced With Natural and Synthetic Fibers: Tensile, Dynamic–Mechanical, and Residual Stress Behavior

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Hybrid fiber‐metal laminates combining aluminum with carbon, glass, and sisal/epoxy layers. Sisal fibers maintained strength, improved strain and thermal stability, and reduced residual stresses with less synthetic fiber. ABSTRACT This work studied how hybridization between natural and synthetic fibers influences the structural tensile performance ...

Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...
