Abstract: For stochastic systems, the Fokker–Planck equation (FPE) is used to describe the system dynamics. The FPE is a partial differential equation, which is a function of all the variables in state space and of time. To solve ...

Abstract: Music is a complex vibratory structure that evolves temporally and, while it has been studied for centuries, both quantitatively and qualitatively, it has seldom been studied under the lens of computer science and information ...

Abstract: Typically, nonlinearity is considered to be problematic and sometimes can lead to dire consequences. However, the nonlinearity in a Duffing oscillator array can enhance its ability to be used as a reservoir computer. Machine ...

Abstract: This paper presents a shape memory alloy actuator design using a bimorph structure capable of high-speed actuation and low power consumption. Two active layers of shape memory alloy wires are separated by a passive layer ...

Abstract: Shape memory alloys are a class of soft actuators that can recover strain through a phase change and are capable of biomimetic motion. Despite the advantages of these alloys (e.g., high strength-to-weight ratios, inexpensive ...
