Mechanisms and impacts of future plant invasions: research agendas and management needs under disruptive social‐ecological change scenarios

Oikos, EarlyView.
No‐analogue futures are characteristic of the Anthropocene, but how global change, and societies' responses, will affect plant invasions remains unclear. Conducting research now to address future needs is crucial for guiding invasion management and policy.

Globally widespread weeds show preadaptation to non‐analogue climates: a common garden approach

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic niche shifts have been documented for plant species introduced into new regions, however the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Niche shifts into novel climates are particularly difficult to predict as previous occurrence data cannot reveal whether these novel climates are within species' fundamental niche limits.

Design and Development of a Modular Ballistic Pendulum for High‐Impulse Measurement in Contact and Near‐Field Explosive Loading

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measuring impulse from explosive charges in contact and near‐field configurations presents practical challenges due to wide variation in impulse magnitude. Ballistic pendula are widely used for impulse measurement, but many existing designs are limited to narrow operating envelopes or are poorly suited to repeated contact testing and tamped ...

Direct Measurement of Explosive Impulse From Contact to the Ultra‐Near Field

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measurement of impulse from explosive charges in contact and ultra‐near‐field regimes remains poorly characterised due to the short duration of loading, high strain rates, and the difficulty of obtaining direct momentum‐based measurements.

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Terrain‐Adaptive Quadrupedal Locomotion Using Model Predictive Control With Impedance Control and SINDy Model Enhancement

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quadrupedal robots operating in unstructured environments require adaptive control systems that can handle diverse terrain conditions without prior surface characterization. This paper presents an integrated control architecture that combines Model Predictive Control (MPC) with adaptive impedance control and SINDy‐based model corrections for ...
