Abstract: he dynamical processes governing the seasonal cycle of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) are studied using a variety of models, ranging from a simple forced Rossby wave model to an eddy-resolving ocean ...

Abstract: Comparing to linear vibration absorbers, nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) have attracted worldwide attention for their intrinsic characteristics of targeted energy transfer or energy pumping in a relatively wide frequency ...

Abstract: Particle-based thermochemical energy storage (TCES) through metal oxide redox cycling is advantageous compared to traditional sensible and latent heat storage (SHS and LHS) due to its higher operating temperature and energy ...

Abstract: Multistable structures can maintain multiple steady states without additional loads. However, the presence of geometric and material nonlinearities in multistable structures adds complexity and difficulty to their optimal ...

Abstract: Wave propagations exhibit direction and frequency selectivity in two-dimensional (2D) periodic structures, which provides possibilities to regulate wave dispersion and bandgap properties. Most of current researches focus ...

Abstract: This study focuses on the lateral safety of autonomous vehicles. The aim is to provide greater safety margins for the motion controller under hazardous conditions by improving the planning methods. The proposed lateral ...
