Adaptive structures and actuation systems represent a transformative approach in modern engineering, where traditional passive elements are combined with actively controlled components to respond ...

Abstract: The primary focus of this research is to analyze and experimentally verify the response reduction attributes of an NSD in (a) elastic structural systems, (b) yielding systems, and (3) ...

Historically, the performance and power consumption of a system was controlled by what could be done at design time, but chips today are becoming a lot more adaptive. This has become a necessity for ...

Objective The NABUCCO project aims to develop radically new concepts of adaptive and buckling-driven composite structures for next generation aircraft. In aeronautics, buckling is generally avoided ...

The automotive industry continues to be a hotbed of innovation. Activity is driven by the rise of connected and autonomous vehicles, as well as the critical need for dependability and trustworthiness ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...
