Drones: Emergence of a transformative technology for island rodent eradications
Drones have emerged as a potentially powerful tool to address an ongoing need for alternative rodent eradication solutions on remote islands. This potential has now been demonstrated in a diverse set of operations across the Pacific. In the coming decades, this novel toolset also offers the possibility to step beyond existing paradigms and imagine a ...

One‐Dimensional Finite Elements With Arbitrary Cross‐Sectional Displacement Fields
ABSTRACT This paper introduces an unprecedented unified approach for developing structural theories with an arbitrary kinematic variable over the beam cross‐section. Each of the three displacement variables can be analyzed using an independent expansion function. Both the order of the expansion and the number of terms in each field can be any. That is,

Flight Control of a Novel Distributed Tiltrotor UAV With Experiments
Considering the mode transition control of a novel distributed tiltrotor UAV, we designed a fast fixed‐time sliding mode attitude controller to improve the response speed and robustness of the control system. Furthermore, a smooth mode transition strategy is developed to guarantee the stable conversion between fixed‐wing and helicopter modes ...
