Architected Lattices with a Topological Transition
This article develops topological metamaterials showing multidirectional two‐step deformation under compression by embedding contact‐enabled topological mechanisms into lattice structures. Experiments on 3D‐printed 2D and 3D lattices and finite element simulations are conducted to demonstrate the working principle of the topological metamaterials.

Chaotification of One-Dimensional Maps Based on Remainder Operator Addition
In this work, a chaotification technique is proposed that can be used to enhance the complexity of any one-dimensional map by adding the remainder operator to it. It is shown that by an appropriate parameter choice, the resulting map can achieve a higher

The step-wise construction of solitary solutions to Riccati equations with diffusive coupling
A novel scheme based on the generalized differential operator and computer algebra was used to construct solitary solutions to a system of Riccati differential equations with diffusive coupling.

Singularities and Moments of Nonlinear Systems [PDF]
The notions of eigenvalue, pole and moment at a pole of a continuous-time, nonlinear, time-invariant system are studied. Eigenvalues and poles are first characterized in terms of invariant subspaces. Tools from geometric control theory are used to define nonlinear enhancements of these notions and to study their relationship with the solution of ...

Discontinuous rate-stiffening in a granular composite modeled after cornstarch and water
Cornstarch and water is a mixture that solidifies under impact. The authors find that ordinary sand behaves in a similar way when coated with a thin layer of viscoelastic polymer, suggesting a potential route for designing materials which respond ...

Analysis of output frequencies of nonlinear systems [PDF]
In this paper, an algorithm is derived for the determination of the output frequency ranges of nonlinear systems, which extends previous results on the output frequencies of nonlinear systems to a more general situation.

Nonlinear elliptic systems [PDF]
In this paper we treat the question of the existence of solutions of boundary value problems for systems of nonlinear elliptic equations of the form - deltau = f (x, u, v,Ñu,Ñv), - deltav = g(x, u, v, Ñu, Ñv), in omega, We discuss several classes of such systems using both variational and topological methods.

Collective Memory: Transposing Pavlov’s Experiment to Robot Swarms
Remembering information is a fundamental aspect of cognition present in numerous natural systems. It allows adaptation of the behavior as a function of previously encountered situations. For instance, many living organisms use memory to recall if a given

Nonlinear Negative Imaginary Systems with Switching [PDF]
In this paper, we extend nonlinear negative imaginary (NI) systems theory to switched systems. Switched nonlinear NI systems and switched nonlinear output strictly negative imaginary (OSNI) systems are defined. We show that the interconnection of two switched nonlinear NI systems is still switched nonlinear NI.

Linear parameter estimation for multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear systems using nonlinear output frequency-response functions [PDF]
The Volterra series approach has been widely used for the analysis of nonlinear systems. Based on the Volterra series, a novel concept named Nonlinear Output Frequency Response Functions (NOFRFs) was proposed by the authors.
