Quasi-Steady versus Navier–Stokes Solutions of Flapping Wing Aerodynamics

open access: yesFluids, 2018
Various tools have been developed to model the aerodynamics of flapping wings. In particular, quasi-steady models, which are considerably faster and easier to solve than the Navier⁻Stokes equations, are often utilized in the study of flight ...

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

Perceptual Distortions in Pitch and Time Reveal Active Prediction and Support for an Auditory Pitch-Motion Hypothesis

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
A number of accounts of human auditory perception assume that listeners use prior stimulus context to generate predictions about future stimulation. Here, we tested an auditory pitch-motion hypothesis that was developed from this perspective. Listeners judged either the time change (i.e., duration) or pitch change of a comparison frequency glide ...

Electrolyte Design for Fast‐Charging Lithium‐Based Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A decade of progress in fast‐charging electrolytes for lithium batteries is reviewed. Electrolyte design strategies spanning solvents, salts, additives, and advanced systems, such as localized high‐concentration electrolytes (LHCEs), are summarized. Advanced diagnostic tools for lithium plating and interphase chemistry are discussed, with perspectives ...

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF SHIP PITCHING MOTION REDUCTION USING ANTI-PITCHING FINS

open access: yesProceedings of the JFPS International Symposium on Fluid Power, 1996
In this paper, we investigate the usefulness of active stabilizing fins on ship pitching reduction under varying forward speeds, in varying wave lengths. A 4-meter self-propelled ship model and an electrohydraulically driven stabilizing fin system are used as our experimental system.

Aerodynamic stability of road vehicles in dynamic pitching motion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The main object of the present study is to investigate numerically the mechanism of aerodynamic damping of pitching oscillation in sedan-type vehicles. The transient numerical solver employed is based on the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method.
