3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Control Optimization of Small-Scale Thrust-Vectoring Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing Vehicles in Transition Phase

open access: yesDrones, 2022
The core of the short takeoff and landing problem in thrust-vectoring V/STOL vehicles is the tilt angle control of the thrust vector nozzles. This work resolves it by figuring out the optimal tilt angle time history with optimization methods.

A Novel Experimental Model and a Drag-Optimal Allocation Method for Variable-Pitch Propellers in Multirotors

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
This paper proposes a new mathematical model to map the rotational speed and angle of attack (pitch) of small-size propellers typically used in multirotors and the aerodynamic thrust force and drag moment produced by the propeller itself.

Thrust Allocation With Dynamic Power Consumption Modulation for Diesel-Electric Ships [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2015
Modern ships and offshore units built for dynamic positioning (DP) are often powered by an electric power plant consisting of two or more diesel-electric generators. Actuation in any desired direction is achieved by placing electrical thrusters at suitable points on the hull. Usually, such ships also have other large electrical loads. Operations in the

Systematically Engineering for Efficient Production of 3‐Methyl‐1‐Butanol in Escherichia coli

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated metabolic engineering strategy was established for high‐level 3‐methyl‐1‐butanol biosynthesis in Escherichia coli. Molecular dynamics‐guided semi‐rational engineering of dihydroxyacid dehydratase uncovered and relieved key catalytic bottlenecks, while adaptive laboratory evolution enhanced strain robustness.
