Data‐Driven Design of Bimodal Networked Dielectric Elastomers for High‐Performance Artificial Muscles

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A data‐efficient artificial intelligence‐assisted framework, which integrates experimental data with machine learning, is developed for the design of bimodal networked dielectric elastomers (DEs) as advanced artificial muscles. It adopts neural networks to predict DEs’ mechanical properties and support vector machines to classify electromechanical ...

A DEA-based approach for the multi-criteria assignment problem

open access: yesCroatian Operational Research Review, 2015
This paper proposes a DEA model for evaluating arc efficiency in the presence of multiple weights on arcs in a network. Thereafter, a multi-criteria assignment problem is formulated based on the efficiency of the arcs. Appraisal is given to some parts of

Scalable High‐Force Zipping Electrostatic Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An electrostatic actuator architecture is presented that combines high energy density with forces and strokes suited for wearable soft robotics. By folding patterned thin films into a scalable honeycomb of zipping units, performance becomes tunable through series–parallel design, achieving over 40 N and 28 J/kg.

Sensitivity analysis of network DEA illustrated in branch banking [PDF]

open access: yes
Users of data envelopment analysis (DEA) often presume efficiency estimates to be robust. While traditional DEA has been exposed to various sensitivity studies, network DEA (NDEA) has so far escaped similar scrutiny.
