Advances in soft materials are reshaping the design of next-generation devices, particularly where flexibility, adaptability, ...

Certifying a composite primary structure for a next-generation aircraft is, at its core, a data problem. From coupon to full structure, the building-block approach demands physical tests at each level ...

Abstract: This letter introduces integral control barrier functions (I-CBFs) as a means to enable the safety-critical integral control of nonlinear systems. Importantly, I-CBFs allow for the holistic ...

Abstract: Passive compliant grinding systems actuated by double-acting cylinders (DACs) have output forces in both the thrust and tension directions, offering significant advantages such as high ...
