A Reinforcement Learning–Controlled Novel Mode‐Switching Hybrid Mass Damper on a Real Tower
Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This work proposes a novel passive, semiactive and active mode‐switching hybrid mass damper (MSHMD) solution for the control of an actual high‐rise tower. For the mode‐switching control of the considered building system, a reinforcement learning algorithm, Deep Q‐Network (DQN), was implemented.

Computer simulations of electrorheological fluids in the dipole-induced dipole model
, 2001 We have employed the multiple image method to compute the interparticle force for a polydisperse electrorheological (ER) fluid in which the suspended particles can have various sizes and different permittivites.

Multifunctional Position and Stiffness Control of Soft Fluidic Actuators Using Supercooled Liquid
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2025.This work explores the use of supercooled liquid as a multifunctional working fluid for soft actuators to allow independent control of position and stiffness; the solution is used to both inflate the elastomer chambers while in liquid state and to achieve a dramatic increase in stiffness (up to 13 times) with rapid, reversible crystallization.
