Electrospun Nanofibres for Load‐Bearing Composite Materials—A Review of Techniques, Mechanical Properties and Durability

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Electrospun nanofibre for load‐bearing composite materials. ABSTRACT Electrospun nanofibres are emerging nanomaterials prized for their scalability, high surface area to volume ratio and yield. Their effectiveness in improving the mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composites is widely reported. Nanofibres could activate multiscale toughness and

Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings [PDF]

, 2006
The provision of transverse openings in floor beams to facilitate the passage of utility pipes and service ducts results not only in a more systematic layout of pipes and ducts, it also translates into substantial economic savings in the construction of ...

Digital Twin Simulations Toolbox of the Nitrogen‐Vacancy Center in Diamond

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
The Nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) center in diamond is a key platform within quantum technologies. This work introduces a Python based digital‐twin of the NV, where the spin dynamics of the system is simulated without relying on commonly used approximations, such as the adoption of rotating frame. The digital‐twin is validated through three different examples,

Quantum Inspired Universal Analog Computation Based on Circuits

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
We propose an analog scheme of classical circuit for universal quantum computation. The information is encoded using correlated electrical signals, and the number of the basic computing components employed in our circuit design is consistent with the number of the quantum gate in the quantum circuit.

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

A fracture-mechanics model for debonding of external fibre reinforced polymer plates on reinforced concrete beams

, 2006
A Fracture-mechanics model for debonding of external fibre reinforced polymer plates on reinforced concrete beams is presented. The conventional methods of concrete-FRP interface analysis use finite element models, which require details of unknown and ...

Terrain Classification for Planetary Rovers Using Wireless In‐Wheel Sensor Modules and Machine Learning

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Safe and reliable mobility over different kinds of ground is important for planetary rovers on space missions. Since terrain changes might affect the mobility of the rover, energy consumption, and safety, detecting the type of ground in real‐time is vital.

Autonomous Navigation in Large‐Scale Underground Environments Based on a Purely Topological Understanding of Tunnel Networks

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work presents a non‐geometrical navigation approach based on a purely topological understanding of underground environments. By conceptualizing subterranean scenarios as a set of tunnels that intersect with each other, and taking a navigation approach based on topological instructions, we simplify the navigation problem to the sequential ...
