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 ...

Polymer International, EarlyView.IM7/Cycom 5320‐1 unidirectional prepreg has been used to fabricate 64‐layer laminated composites. A custom‐built six‐magnetron microwave applicator and an autoclave were employed to manufacture the composite panels. Mechanical performance of the microwave‐cured composites has been juxtaposed to autoclave‐cured composites in terms of uniaxial tensile ...

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Measuring impulse from explosive charges in contact and near‐field configurations presents practical challenges due to wide variation in impulse magnitude. Ballistic pendula are widely used for impulse measurement, but many existing designs are limited to narrow operating envelopes or are poorly suited to repeated contact testing and tamped ...

Scaling turbulence drives the general circulation
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The NOAA Gulfstream SP4, which deployed the GPS dropsondes over the NE Pacific Ocean as part of the Winter Storms Project during the January–March periods of 2004, 2005 and 2006. Abstract Statistical multifractal analysis of airborne and dropsonde observations is used to show that persistence of velocity after molecular collisions breaks the continuous

How Does Our Degrading System Perform?
Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We discuss the quality of performance of degrading systems when degradation is modeled by a stochastic process with independent increments and increasing sample paths. As an example, the gamma process is considered. First, for the continuously observed degradation, by comparing with the black‐box scenario (without observing degradation), the ...

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A repairable system operates under a maintenance strategy involving scheduled preventive maintenance (PM) and corrective repair actions following failures. This study develops an exact analytical methodology using Markov chains with discrete states and time to calculate the expected number of failures E[N(t)]$\mathop {\mathbb {E}}[N(t)]$ under

Weibull Variational Autoencoder for Remaining Useful Life Prediction
Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is a critical technology for preventing unexpected failures and reducing maintenance costs in modern industrial systems. However, traditional model‐based approaches are limited by the need for explicit mathematical modeling of degradation mechanisms, while data‐driven methods often require large‐scale ...

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Control for Real‐Time Hybrid Simulation of Civil Structures
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Real‐time Hybrid Simulation (RTHS) is a cyber‐physical technique that studies the dynamic behavior of a system by combining physical and numerical components that are coupled through a boundary condition enforcer. In structural engineering, the numerical components are subjected to environmental loads that become dynamic displacements of the ...

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) have transformed oceanographic research through autonomous data gathering. Similarly, lake and other aquatic research can potentially be automated and transformed. However, UUVs would need to be smaller, lighter, less complex, and cheaper than currently available to make them more practical and user‐friendly
