Inertial‐Based LQG Control: A New Look at Inverted‐Pendulum Stabilization

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Linear‐quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control is a well‐established method for optimal control through state estimation, particularly in stabilizing an inverted pendulum on a cart. In standard laboratory setups, sensor redundancy enables direct measurement of configuration variables using displacement sensors and rotary encoders. However, in outdoor

Iron(III) ion reinforced P(NiPAAm‐co‐AA) beads as tunable smart organogels

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Macroporous beads of PNiPAAm‐co‐AA copolymers were further crosslinked by iron(III) ions. The resulting beads are mechanically robust and reversibly responsive to a change of solvent from ethanol to ethyl acetate with half‐lives in the range of minutes.

Validation of Electrostrictive Performance of P(VDF‐TrFE‐CFE) for kHz Range Applications

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the high‐frequency deformation of the relaxor ferroelectric polymer P(VDF–TrFE–CFE) is governed by Maxwell's electrostriction, confirming its suitability for fast electromechanical applications. Combining original high‐frequency mechanical characterization, laser vibrometry measurements, and numerical modeling, a ...
