Active Stiffness Modulation of Flexible PDMS Elastomer by Embedding Shape Memory Alloy Wires: Fabrication and Modeling

open access: yesFlexTech, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 14-22, June 2026.
Active stiffness modulation is achieved in NiTi shape memory alloy‐reinforced PDMS and carbon fiber‐epoxy composites, with reversible 3‐fold modulus increase via Joule heating and validated predictive models, which resolves longstanding adaptive design challenges.

Simulation and Optimization of an Airfoil with Leading Edge Slat

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2016
A gradient-based optimization is used in order to improve the shape of a leading edge slat upstream of a DU 91-W2-250 airfoil. The simulations are performed by solving the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) using the open source CFD code OpenFOAM.

Performance of PBF‐Printed Micro‐Channel Bipolar Plates as a Function of Flow‐Field Parameters and Plane Area

open access: yesFuel Cells, Volume 26, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT SUS 316L bipolar plates (BPPs) with rectangular micro‐channels for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) were fabricated using powder bed fusion (PBF) technology, and the effects of flow‐field structure parameters (channel width, rib width, and channel depth) on fuel cell performance were analyzed.

Multi-Objective Numerical Optimization Applied to Aircraft Design

open access: yes, 2008
Aircraft design is a very complex process because several disciplines are involved at the same time: aerodynamics, structures, performances, propulsion, costs. From this point of view, the real aircraft is a compromise between several requirements, often

Variance‐Guided Regression for Heteroscedastic Data With a Grouping‐Based Extension for Nonlinear Prediction

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 13-14, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Although homoscedasticity is often assumed in linear regression, real data may show variance patterns or residual structures that violate this assumption. We propose VarGuid, a variance‐guided framework for two related settings: Covariate‐dependent conditional variance under a global linear mean model, and residual nonlinear mean structure ...
