Effect of Radical Initiators on the Rheological Properties and Toughness of Poly(Lactic Acid)/Poly(3‐Hydroxybutyrate‐Co‐4‐Hydroxybutyrate) Blends

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Effect of mixing protocol on the size distribution of PHA domains in the PLA matrix. ABSTRACT In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐4‐hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB‐4HB), a type of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)], were melt‐blended at an 80/20 (wt/wt) ratio, and radical initiators were employed as reactive compatibilizers to enhance

Synergistic Effects of Phenolic Resin and Polymer Architecture on Crosslink Density and Damping in Poly(Epichlorohydrin‐Co‐Ethylene Oxide‐Co‐Allyl Glycidyl Ether) (GECO) Elastomers

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Phenolic resin reduces crosslink density and alters the viscoelastic response of GECO elastomers. The magnitude of these changes depends strongly on polymer architecture. Damping performance is governed by the combined effects of network density and molecular structure, not resin content alone, providing a framework for designing advanced vibration ...

Suggestions for unifying the parametrizations of turbulent orographic form drag, mountain wave drag, and flow blocking

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A theory for the interaction between a boundary layer and a low mountain is used to provide estimates of the turbulent orographic form drag, upward‐propagating mountain gravity‐wave drag, and trapped lee‐wave drag (case shown in the figure). After reviewing briefly how these processes are represented in weather and climate models, we propose a ...

Nonlinear Receding‐Horizon Differential Game for Drone Racing Along a Three‐Dimensional Path

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drone racing requires high‐speed navigation through three‐dimensional paths, posing significant challenges in control engineering. Existing control methods lack a feedback control framework that simultaneously addresses nonlinear drone dynamics and multi‐agent competitive interactions, such as overtaking or obstructing opponents.

A study in the recovery method of the directional controllability of single-rotor helicopters under tail-rotor damage conditions by using main-rotor brakes and the dead zone/disturbance simultaneous estimator

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
This paper describes considerations of the effectiveness about the recovery control of the yaw rate motion of single-rotor helicopters by using both motors (engines) and main-rotor brakes in autorotation flight under tail-rotor damage conditions.

Development of a rotor model for the numerical simulation of helicopter exterior flow-fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 84-85).A numerical methodology is developed to model the effect of a rotor on the surrounding flow-field. The model calculates the time-averaged aerodynamic forces exerted on the air by the fan blades within ...
