International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Photovoltaic Effect in a III‐IV‐V Compound Semiconductor
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.A large reduction of the GaAs band gap is obtained with incorporation of 6.5% Ge during epitaxy without introducing extended defects or composition inhomogeneity. Heterojunction solar cell devices were fabricated with 0.76‐V open circuit voltage and an internal quantum efficiency above 40% at energies below the bandgap of the GaAs emitter.

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 ...

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

A Novel Approach to Energy Management in Electric Steelworks
steel research international, EarlyView.Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate electric energy consumptions of the electric arc furnace and ladle furnace processes. The models are used to optimize production schedule so that more energy intensive grades are produced when the cost of energy is lower.
