Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.

Renewable Energy‐Driven Green Electricity Supplement for Empowering Blue Economy

open access: yesSusMat, EarlyView.
In order to support the blue economy to expand to the distant sea, this work proposes the framework driven by renewable energy. It integrates flexible perovskite solar cells, triboelectric nanogenerator‐supercapacitors, grid‐forming control strategies, and AI‐driven digital engines.

Architecting and Industrializing Advanced Production and Manufacturing Systems for Critical Industries

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advanced production systems play a vital role in modern society. Such systems are developed and industrialized over multiple years and at great expense. The complexities of these systems are exacerbated in the case of metal additive manufacturing, which involves numerous process variables and relies on various auxiliary systems.

AI‐enabled bumpless transfer control strategy for legged robot with hybrid energy storage system

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Designing Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for a legged robot is significant to improve the motion performance and energy efficiency of the robot. However, switching between the driving mode and regenerative braking mode in the HESS may generate a torque bump, which has brought significant challenges to the stability of the robot locomotion.

Stability Analysis and Improvement Mechanism of Grid‐Forming Converter Connected to a Low‐Impedance Grid

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the stability and improvement mechanisms of a grid‐forming (GFM) converter connected to a low‐impedance grid. Initially, a state‐space model of the GFM converter integrated into an AC grid is developed for stability analysis.

Market‐Driving Capability: An Empirical Study on Antecedents and Consequences

open access: yesBritish Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract What enables market‐driving behaviour, and is it a worthwhile business strategy? This fundamental question intrigues both managers in firms and researchers in marketing and strategic management, yet surprisingly, it remains underexplored. To this end, we assess the antecedents and consequences of market‐driving capability.

‘CLOSING THE CARBON LOOP’: Climate Policy Discourses and the Material Politics of Municipal Waste‐to‐Biofuel Programs

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Waste‐to‐biofuel (WTB) programs have gained popularity as a municipal circular economy and an emissions reduction strategy. The upgrading of biofuels to renewable natural gas (RNG) has drawn particular interest, as RNG can displace conventional fossil fuels in any existing natural gas end use and be delivered through existing pipeline ...

Can prisons move people into better jobs? A look at correctional vocational training programs and sectoral employment outcomes

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐quarters of US prisons offer vocational training programs, which aim to place trainees in middle‐skills jobs in specific occupational sectors post‐release. These middle‐skills jobs may more effectively reduce recidivism than the jobs that normally characterize the labor market experience of the formerly incarcerated, yet whether ...
