Effects of UV‐Thermal Exposure Sequence on the Compressive Performance of FDM‐Printed Polymers

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
These findings establish aging sequence as a key design parameter for FDM polymers, enabling safer material selection and improved durability of load‐bearing printed components. ABSTRACT Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and elevated temperatures can alter the compressive performance of fused deposition modeled (FDM) polymers, but the combined effects, and ...

Assessing the role of urban blue space in summer outdoor thermal regulation in northwestern Europe: A hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting modelling on idealized urban landscape

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Using hectometric Weather Research and Forecasting simulations, we examine how urban blue spaces mitigate extreme summer heat in northwestern European cities through neighbourhood‐scale cooling mechanisms. Results show horizontal advection dominates cooling by mixing cooler air from waterbodies with warmer urban air, providing ∼50W·m−2$$ \sim 50\kern0 ...

Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...
