An inflationary differential evolution algorithm for space trajectory optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper we define a discrete dynamical system that governs the evolution of a population of agents. From the dynamical system, a variant of Differential Evolution is derived.

Recycling of Thermoplastic Unidirectional Tapes: An Image‐Analysis Method for Measuring Residual Glass‐Fiber Length in Convoluted Fiber Clusters

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Development of a rapid, low‐cost method for measuring residual glass fibre length: samples are collected by tweezers, prepared via submersion, imaged with a flatbed scanner as a cost‐effective alternative to microscopy, and analyzed for fibre length independently of image acquisition.

Brown–Proschan Repair Policy for Repairable Systems Using the Discrete Weibull Failure Distribution and Markov Chains

open access: yesQuality 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

Portfolio‐Level Reliability Analysis of a Multi‐Asset System: A Frailty Proportional Intensity Modeling Framework

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding and modeling the equipment failure behavior is crucial for reducing downtime, optimizing maintenance strategies, and improving operational safety. This challenge becomes particularly critical in industrial contexts involving multi‐asset portfolios, where heterogeneous conditions influence the reliability of individual assets and,

Feedback Linearisation with State Constraints

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Feedback Linearisation (FBL) is a widely used technique that applies feedback laws to transform input‐affine nonlinear control systems into linear control systems, allowing for the use of linear controller design methods such as pole placement.

Toward Encrypted OPF Across Transmission and Distribution—Prospects and Open Problems of Encrypted Quadratic Programming

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing integration of distributed energy resources demands enhanced coordination between transmission system operators (TSOs) and distribution system operators (DSOs) to maintain reliable grid operation. Traditional approaches rely on hierarchical or distributed optimization schemes for power flow management, but these methods either ...

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 ...

Synergies of Geospatial and Digital Technologies for Sustainable Rural Development: A Data‐Driven Analysis of Topics and Novelty Assessment

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The adoption of geospatial and digital technologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Building Information Modelling (BIM), Digital Twins, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), is increasingly recognised as key enablers of sustainable development.
