Computing Functional Gains for Designing More Energy-Efficient Buildings Using a Model Reduction Framework

open access: yesFluids, 2018
We discuss developing efficient reduced-order models (ROM) for designing energy-efficient buildings using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

Textile‐Based Capacitive Pressure Sensors Enabled by Ultrasonic Spray‐Coated Carbon Black Electrodes and Electrostatic Flocking

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A 4‐layer Kevlar‐based composite is fabricated by combining ultrasonic spraying and electrostatic flocking. Carbon black dispersion is first deposited onto Kevlar fabric to create a conductive electrode. Nylon fibers are then electrostatically flocked onto the coated fabric, forming a dielectric layer.

Programmable Variable‐Stiffness Multilayer Elastomer Composites With High‐Aspect‐Ratio Low‐Melting‐Point Alloy Inclusions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐aspect‐ratio low‐melting‐point alloy inclusions are embedded within multilayer silicone laminates to create thermally programmable stiffness. Sequential activation of alloy‐rich layers produces four distinct mechanical states and reconfigures tendon‐driven actuator trajectories under the same load.

On some invariants for systems of quadratic forms over the integers.

open access: yesJournal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal), 1992
In this paper we study systems of quadratic forms over the ring of integers \(R\) of a number field \(K\). We study some invariants of such systems and prove a finiteness theorem. In the particular case of pairs of forms we show, under some hypotheses, that the set of equivalence classes of pairs of forms with prescribed invariants admits a free and ...

The Exact Cumulative Distribution Function of a Ratio of Quadratic Forms in Normal Variables with Application to the AR(1) Model. [PDF]

open access: yes
Often neither the exact density nor the exact cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a statistic of interest are available in the statistics and econometrics literature (for example the maximum likelihood estimator of the autocorrelation coefficient ...

Toward Perception‐Native Electronic Skin: Bio‐Inspired In‐/Near‐Sensor and Neuromorphic Computing for Humanoid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

Programmable Crack Networks for Wide‐Range and Reversible Strain Sensing in Vertically Oriented van der Waals Molybdenum Disulfide Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Vertically oriented van der Waals MoS2 thin films enable a mechanically programmable crack network for strain sensing. The initial mechanical programming protocol establishes a programmed crack configuration along weak interlayer and interdomain interfaces.

A Constraint‐Based Analytical Framework for Design‐Space Analysis and Material Screening of Tubular Multilayer Dielectric Elastomer Pumps for Extracorporeal Circulatory Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A constraint‐based analytical framework maps the coupled effects of material properties, structural parameters, and operating conditions in tubular dielectric elastomer pumps for extracorporeal circulatory applications. The approach defines performance boundaries through mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic constraints and identifies feasible design ...

Bright‐Dark Exciton Splitting in Lead Iodide Perovskite Crystals Accessed via Quantum Beats in Photon Echoes

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Understanding exciton fine structure is crucial for optoelectronic and quantum photonic applications of lead halide perovskites. It is demonstrated that polarization‐sensitive photon‐echo spectroscopy in a magnetic field resolves exciton fine‐structure splittings hidden by inhomogeneous broadening, enabling direct determination of the bright‐dark ...
