Abstract: A new type of concrete, named metaconcrete, has been developed for the attenuation of shock waves induced by dynamic excitation. Inspired by the metamaterials used for the manipulation of electromagnetic and acoustic waves, ...

Abstract: We present an optimal control methodology, which we refer to as concentration-of-measure optimal control (COMOC), that seeks to minimize a concentration-of-measure upper bound on the probability ...
