Free Vibration of Hemp Fiber‐Reinforced Laminated Composite Curved Beams Using Generalized Differential Quadrature Method

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of hemp‐, glass‐, and carbon‐based laminated composite curved beams, including different stacking sequences and their vibration response. ABSTRACT In recent years, increasing environmental awareness has stimulated growing interest in natural fiber‐reinforced composites (NFRCs) due to their eco‐friendly composition ...

Residue dynamics and dietary risks of diflufenican and flufenacet in wheat using field experiments and model simulations

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Combining field trials with model simulations allows for an effective and efficient evaluation of residues of herbicides diflufenican and flufenacet in wheat and related dietary risks for humans. Abstract BACKGROUND Pesticide usage and related food safety and human health concerns have received great attention worldwide.

Impact of Packaging and Recycling Systems on Material Recirculation: A Stage‐Decomposition Model

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
A system‐level view emerges from decomposing recycling into four stages (participation, collection, sorting and process yield), diagnosing constraints and targeting interventions. Cumulative equivalent uses (CEUs) quantify long‐term retention, revealing marginal improvements at high baselines generate disproportionately larger gains than low‐baseline ...

Optimal Homogeneous ℒp$$ {\boldsymbol{\mathcal{L}}}_{\boldsymbol{p}} $$‐Gain Controller

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonlinear ℋ∞$$ {\mathscr{H}}_{\infty } $$‐controllers are designed for arbitrarily weighted, continuous homogeneous systems with a focus on systems affine in the control input. Based on the homogeneous ℒp$$ {\mathcal{L}}_p $$‐norm, the input–output behavior is quantified in terms of the homogeneous ℒp$$ {\mathcal{L}}_p $$‐gain as a ...

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

The role of identification in data‐driven policy iteration: A system theoretic study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The goal of this article is to study fundamental mechanisms behind so‐called indirect and direct data‐driven control for unknown systems. Specifically, we consider policy iteration applied to the linear quadratic regulator problem. Two iterative procedures, where data collected from the system are repeatedly used to compute new estimates of ...

Initial State Privacy of Nonlinear Systems on Riemannian Manifolds

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate initial state privacy protection for discrete‐time nonlinear closed systems. By capturing Riemannian geometric structures inherent in such privacy challenges, we refine the concept of differential privacy through the introduction of an initial state adjacency set based on Riemannian distances.

On an Aggregation Theory for Indicators Expressing Behaviors of Complex Systems With an Application to Sustainability

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain attributes of large‐scale complex systems are often expressed through sets of indicators. For example, the sustainability of an entity, be it a nation, a city, an energy system, a corporation etc., can be effectively represented by indicators and corresponding data series.

How Aware Are Consumers of Water Used in Agri‐Food Products? Exploring the Misconception Between the Perceived and the Actual Water Footprint

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the environmental impact of food production is critical to promoting sustainable consumption patterns. This study explores the gap between consumers' perceived water footprint (PWF) and the actual water footprint (AWF) of selected agri‐food products in Italy, including crop‐ and animal‐based products. A survey conducted through a
