Comprehensive modeling and optimization of high-performance vernier machines by Zhu, Jingwei

“…As for further improvement of the performance of this type of motor, the difficulties lie in the following four aspects: a lack of the accurate analytical model to identify the impact of geometric parameters on high torque density and power factor designs, an absence of motor optimization framework to take the performance metrics over the entire speed range into consideration, fixed control method (id = 0 control) at the rated point not appropriate for all motor geometries and how to develop a new topology with enhanced performance. …”

Few layers of graphene and carbon nanoscrolls by wedge based mechanical exfoliation by Jayasena R. A. P. B.

“…The moving wedge upon interaction with certain fold geometries can trigger scroll formation. The second hypothesis is based on literature evidence that graphene sheets when subject to deformation can result in defects on the torn edges and such defects are induced in the HOPG layers during sample preparation. …”

Investigations into flexible ultrathin multi-level micro-optics using femtosecond laser pulses by Low, Mun Ji

“…Such combinations usually have challenging fabrication processes requiring custom-made fabrication equipment, are bulky and do not provide a unified and versatile approach that can be applied to arbitrary geometries. Alternatively, a conformal layer of planar diffractive lens (PDL) on a flexible substrate can be directly attached to the surface of any arbitrarily shaped object and helps to muffle the bulkiness of the hybrid system. …”
