Optimizing Selective RF Pulses for Enhanced Signal Stability in Turbo Spin Echo Using a Differentiable Extended Phase Graph Model

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To improve slice profile consistency across echo trains in turbo spin echo (TSE) imaging, thereby reducing image blurring and increasing the accuracy of multi echo spin echo T2$$ {T}_2 $$ mapping. Methods Excitation and refocusing RF pulses were optimized for TSE using a differentiable extended phase graph model that incorporates the ...

Faster and More Robust CK Reaction Rate Estimation at 3T Using Acquisition‐Weighted 31P Cardiac 1D‐MRSI With Compartment‐Based Reconstruction

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Quantification of the creatine kinase (CK) forward reaction rate (kf) in the human heart using phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy is clinically important; however, it is limited by long acquisition times, operator subjectivity in analysis, and potential skeletal muscle contamination.

Bending Analysis of Thickness‐ and Shear‐Deformable Materially Imperfect Composite Shells With von Kármán‐Type Geometric Nonlinearities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geometrically nonlinear static analysis of materially imperfect composite doubly curved shells is investigated via the generalised differential quadrature method. The effects of both shear and thickness deformation are considered through a thickness‐ and shear‐deformable third‐order theory formulated in curvilinear coordinates, while the ...

A Comprehensive Multistage Average Controller for Trajectory Tracking in Solar‐Powered Mobile Robots: Analysis of Actuator‐Driver and Power Stage Integration

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work addresses the challenge of bidirectional trajectory tracking in solar‐powered wheeled mobile robots (WMRs), considering the mechanical structure, actuator‐driver, and power stage subsystems. Notably, this is the first study to explicitly model and control the actuator‐driver subsystem within this context. The proposed solution relies

Robust Linearization and Eigenvalue Analysis of General Complex Constrained Multibody Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The derivation of linearized equations and subsequent eigenvalue analysis is the basis for tasks such as frequency‐domain response analysis, control design, and stability assessment for mechanical systems. However, for general multibody systems with redundant or nonholonomic constraints, practical challenges persist in achieving numerically ...
