A Topology Optimization Framework for the Inverse Design of Nonlinear Mechanical Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work uses topology optimization to design unit cells for mechanical metamaterials with a prescribed nonlinear stress–strain response. The framework adds contact and postbuckling modeling to synthesize microstructures for three highly nonlinear responses, including pseudoductile behavior, monostable with snap‐through buckling, and bistable ...

Adaptive Finite-Time PI Sliding Mode Trajectory Tracking Control for Underactuated Hovercraft With Drift Angle Constraint

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Considering the sailing characteristics and difficult maneuverability of hovercraft, the three degree-of-freedom (DOF) mathematical model cannot describe effectively the motion of hovercraft.

Analyzing Electronic Excitations and Exciton Binding Energies in Y6 Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The Y6 molecule is used for increasing the efficiency of organic solar cells. The exciton binding energy is calculated for ensembles of Y6 molecules that are representative of the typically used films. The calculations show that the excitons typically spread out over many molecules.

Enhancing Optoelectronic Properties in Phthalocyanine‐Based SURMOFs: Synthesis of ABAB Linkers by Avoiding Statistical Condensation with Tailored Building Blocks

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel phthalocyanine (PC)‐based metal–organic framework (MOFs) is synthesized using ditopic PC linkers obtained through regioselective statistical condensation. The resulting MOF exhibits significant improvements in electronic absorption, thereby enhancing the material's performance in light harvesting and energy conversion.

A Finite-Time Control Design for the Discrete-Time Chaotic Logistic Equations

open access: yesActuators
Finite-time control theory has been widely used as a mathematical tool to design robust controllers. By manipulating the finite-time convergence proof of this theory, we developed a new control design appropriately tuned for the finite-time control of ...

Effect of time delay on feedback control of a flashing ratchet

open access: yes, 2007
It was recently shown that the use of feedback control can improve the performance of a flashing ratchet. We investigate the effect of a time delay in the implementation of feedback control in a closed-loop collective flashing ratchet, using Langevin ...

Distributed finite‐time control for spatially interconnected systems

open access: yesIET Control Theory & Applications, 2019
Compared with the classical Lyapunov asymptotic stability, finite‐time stability is much more important and significant in some practical applications. The purpose of this study is to design the distributed controllers such that the controlled spatially interconnected systems are well‐posed, finite‐time stable/bounded and finite‐time contractive. First,

Photoswitchable Conductive Metal–Organic Frameworks

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A conductive material where the conductivity can be modulated remotely by irradiation with light is presented. It is based on films of conductive metal–organic framework type Cu3(HHTP)2 with embedded photochromic molecules such as azobenzene, diarylethene, spiropyran, and hexaarylbiimidazole in the pores.
