The J-Box Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The study group was presented with the problem of determining the behaviour of a web of wet cellulose fibres - called a tow - as it passes through part of the manufacturing process.

Special transformations for pentamode acoustic cloaking

open access: yes, 2012
The acoustic cloaking theory of Norris (2008) permits considerable freedom in choosing the transformation function f from physical to virtual space. The standard process for defining cloak materials is to first define f and then evaluate whether the ...

Terahertz Chiral Metamaterials Enabling Broadband Polarization Conversion Using Polarization Guiding Effect

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A broadband terahertz polarization rotator consisting of twistingly stacked silicon–air metagratings is designed based on the polarization guiding effect and experimentally shown to achieve 90° linear polarization rotation for both TE and TM incidences.

Evolution of Network Architecture in a Granular Material Under Compression

open access: yes, 2016
As a granular material is compressed, the particles and forces within the system arrange to form complex and heterogeneous collective structures. Force chains are a prime example of such structures, and are thought to constrain bulk properties such as ...

Development of High‐Performance Multilayer Monochromators

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Detailed insights into the optical and multilayer design of Double Multilayer Monochromators (DMM) are presented and fully characterized, including key optimization strategies and solutions to fabrication challenges. By integrating in‐house Ion Beam Figuring and a high uniformity multilayer coating process, the developed DMMs achieve high reflectivity,

Tunable Multifunctional Terahertz Coding Metasurface for Polarization Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Coding metasurfaces (CMs) offer versatile control over electromagnetic waves. Herein, a tunable multifunctional terahertz (THz) metasurface integrated with vanadium dioxide (VO2) is presented, enabling propagation‐phase manipulation of linearly polarized waves and hybrid‐phase control of circularly polarized waves.

Enhanced Trapping with an Optimized Graphene‐Based Bowtie Plasmonic Nanotweezer: Design, Analysis, and Bioanalytical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
A graphene‐based bowtie plasmonic nanotweezer is designed and optimized using particle swarm optimization and transfer matrix analysis. The structure achieves strong field confinement, delivering trapping forces up to 6 nN W−1 for 10 nm bioparticles with sixfold lower power requirements than conventional designs.

Black hole magnetosphere with small scale flux tubes--II. Stability and dynamics

open access: yes, 2019
In some Seyfert Galaxies, the hard X-rays that produce fluorescent emission lines are thought to be generated in a hot corona that is compact and located at only a few gravitational radii above the supermassive black hole.

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

A vector-continuous loading concept for aerodynamic panel methods [PDF]

open access: yes
An approach to the reduction of discretization errors in aerodynamic panel methods is presented. The approach is based on preventing the occurence of induced velocity singularities at panel slope discontinuities by maintaining continuity of the velocity ...
