SSME Long-life Bearings [PDF]

open access: yes
Hybrid hydrostatic/ball bearings for LH2 and LO2 service in turbopumps were studied as a means of improving speed and life capabilities. Four hybrid bearing configurations were designed with emphasis on achieving maximum stiffness and damping.

Reverse Intersystem Crossing and Exciton Harvesting: A Pathway to Low Threshold in Multi‐Resonant TADF Electrically Pumped Organic Semiconductor Lasers

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Electrically pumped organic lasing thresholds are lowered by mitigating triplet accumulation through a tailored host‐guest system. Integrating the multi‐resonant TADF emitter DABNA‐2 into a triplet‐scavenging BSBCz host suppresses singlet‐triplet annihilation.

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 ...

Enhancing stability control of Phase-Locked loop in weak power grids

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems
This paper analyzes the factors affecting the stability of phase-locked loops (PLLs) in weak power grids. By establishing a PLL model in weak power grids, it is found that line impedance, grid frequency disturbances, and output power all have an impact ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
