A novel method for detecting the position of nonlinear components in multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear systems [PDF]
Based on the Nonlinear Output Frequency Response Functions (NOFRFs), a novel method is developed to detect the position of nonlinear components in MDOF nonlinear systems. The validity of this method is demonstrated by numerical studies.

A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

On nonlinear dynamic of a non-ideal Duffing system with fractional damping
Fractional damping is appearing in different contexts in any systems with memory and hysteresis. Such damping is defined by a fractional derivative term, in contrary to classical viscous damping which takes into account the first order derivative.

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
