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 ...

This paper addresses the problem of time‐frequency representation (TFR) for radar micro‐Doppler signals of low‐slow‐small (LSS) targets under noisy and multi‐component conditions. ADCC‐TFNet is proposed to generate input‐conditioned complex kernels and enhance time‐frequency ridge continuity and concentration.
