Organic-inorganic lead-halide perovskite for stable optoelectronics od Guo, Xintong

“...During nights or cloudy days, when humidity levels are generally much higher than sunny days, the system will close to protect the perovskite solar cells through the movement of soft actuator. This self-protect energy harvesting system can be realized through a series of devices integration and circuit design, and it shows potential to further improve the extrinsic stability of perovskite based optoelectronic devices....”

Simulation validation of moment balancing method for drag-dominant tidal turbines od Zhang, Yixiao, Mittal, Shivansh, Ng, Eddie Yin Kwee

“...A performance analysis study of Pinwheel and Savonius tidal turbines has been carried out using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to define the optimal power coefficient (Cp) and Tip-Speed-Ratios (TSR). The classic Disk Actuator model assumes a fixed virtual disc with or without porous holes perpendicular to the inflow direction. ...”

Posture control and balance for quality of walking in rehabilitation od Li, Lei

“...The stabilizing forces can be generated by using upper-limb to control a passive balance stabilizing device (without electric actuator) such as a crutch or walker. However, poor coordination and control of the lower-limb-assistive devices and balance stabilizing device may lead to high energy cost due to high force load on upper limb and it may even destabilize instead of stabilizing the user. ...”

Analytical model for partially prestressed concrete beam-column elements od Esfahani, Milad Hafezolghorani

“...In order to validate the developed analytical model, plasticity formulation and the developed FE computer program code, five conventional RC and PPC beams and frames were fabricated and tested experimentally for cyclic load using dynamic actuator. The results showed a good correlation between the numerical analysis and the experimental tests. ...”
