The Existence of Moving Spike Patterns in an Attractive Chemotaxis Model

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We prove rigorously the existence of moving spike patterns in an attractive chemotaxis model with small diffusion coefficient for the chemical. In the zero diffusion limit, ϵ→0$$ \epsilon \to 0 $$, we prove that the non‐monotone traveling wave solutions of the system with ϵ>0$$ \epsilon >0 $$ converge to those of the system with ϵ=0$$ \epsilon

Three Benefits of Using Nonlinear Compliance in Robotic Systems Performing Cyclic Tasks: Energy Efficiency, Control Robustness, and Gait Optimality

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonlinearity in parallel compliance can be exploited to improve the performance of locomotion systems in terms of (1) energy efficiency, (2) control robustness, and (3) gait optimality; that is, attaining energy efficiency across a set of motions. Thus far, the literature has investigated and validated only the first two benefits.

Effect of Orthotropic Variable Foundations and Unconventional Support Conditions on Nonlinear Hygrothermoelectric Vibration of Porous Multidirectional Piezoelectric Functionally Graded Nonuniform Plate

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article investigates the nonlinear vibration behavior of porous multidirectional piezoelectric functionally graded nonuniform (PFGN) plates resting on orthotropic variable elastic foundations and subjected to hygrothermal loading. The sigmoidal law is employed to define the multidirectional gradation properties, incorporating porosity ...
